    I call BS! The only way to truly be "safe" or "secure" or whatever HYPE you want to call it, is to NEVER USE A WEB BROWSER. Thinking ANY browser is protecting your "privacy" any more than another browser is just HYPE and PROPAGANDA. If you are ON the internet, then you have WAIVED any and all sense of "privacy rights". PERIOD.
  2. NotHereToPlayGames
    Mine does. Did you alter your "skin" in any way, shape, or form?
  3. NotHereToPlayGames
    Some people may not have status bars because they mix-and-match "skins". Or they've disabled the status bar in the settings page toolbar section -- chrome://settings/uiStyle Regarding "safer", there is no such thing! If you want "safer", then do not use anything but Microsoft's latest-and-greatest operating system and Mozilla's or Google's latest-and-greatest web browser. PERIOD. For those of us that don't give a rat's butt about "safety" and "security" (and are smart enough to control those aspects "granularly"), the LONG LIVE XP and the web browsers back-ported for XP. I have seen XP-ported browsers not make any connection to China. But ran the same EXACT browser on Win7 and it connects to China. So "testing" is in the eye of the beholder.

    I still technically see ZERO benefits to upgrading. But I do use v13.5 as my default nowadays on all but one computer (it only has 2GB RAM and it uses v11 as its default but does have v13.5 to browser one tab only when being used on that computer). It will not solve 100% of your web browsing needs, but neither will ANY of the web browsers herein at MSFN. I do keep an eye on NM27 and NM28 and maybe one of these days they will work on all the web sites I need them to work on (NM28 does work for my water bill nowadays, but NM28 does not work for my savings account, NM27 doesn't work for either).

    @AstroSkipper - you do not need to sound so "rude" and "condescending".
  6. NotHereToPlayGames
    Highly unlikely. "Half" of Cloudflare 'security checks' are SERVER-SIDE.
  7. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not fixable in XP. I personally do not "waste my time" with so-called "Trusted Root Certification Authorities".
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    I kind of suspected as much. Never been a fan of "display: flex".
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    My guesses would be height/width or line-height or fit-content or @media or display:flex types of CSS.
  10. NotHereToPlayGames
    I do not use uBlock Origin, but what you guys describe is an EASY fix. At least it sounds like it is. What it sounds like is a CSS issue where width and height need assigned.

    Try this -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/th8jdp8kok2966s/VistaGames_1.0.0.0_Addon.zip?dl=1 It's an "addon" for slipstreaming onto an XP install disk but just extract it then extract the games.exe inside and that should get you what you need.

    Thanks. I've been away from NM 27/28 for quite a while but just noticed that American Water now works on NM28 only to have Ally Bank not work. So it's still 360Chrome v13.5 for all of my needed web sites.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    I do. I'm not positive on 2005 but I know I have the 2007 XP-port for Vista's Chess, Shanghai (Mahjong), Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire. I'll dig through my archives as I suspect I may also have the 2005.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Anyone know the trick as to why https://secure.ally.com/ lands on an error page instead of username/password page in NM28?
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    Don't care! I'm on XP. As you already know! I'm done with this "debate".
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Please STOP referring to 360Chrome as "outdated". It is intended for an audience that DOES NOT CARE about having up-to-the-second "updated" web browser or even OS for that matter. There are a thousand reasons that I could list as to why I remain on XP. This thread was NEVER intended to be a "debate" on what hardware or OS we run! If your level of "required updates" requires you to run Win11, then go out and get Win11 and STOP expecting TOO MUCH from an "NT-Family OS / Browser". If your threshold for "unsecure" and "outdated" hardware is the same as MOST readers of this thread, then 360Chrome will solve 90% of your browser-related issues. But to think that ANY of the browsers here at MSFN will work on 100% of "modern" web sites is UNREALISTIC and that "debate" is not the intent of this thread - ie, "Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes".

    All four of these are 404 Not Found
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    It is, thanks!

    Do you have the .paf version by chance? If not, I'll take the non-paf to test. Tried 18 different versions of Firemin and they all CRASHED 360Chrome v13.5 on a 1GB RAM system. edit - just tried 1.51 .paf and 1.57 .paf, you have to MANUALLY trim RAM and it didn't really seem to do anything. Guess I'll keep experimenting...

    You have already asked this once. You need a user script per your own solution here -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/?do=findComment&comment=1224207

    "IT" isn't exactly a career that attracts girls. I went to Purdue University for Electrical Engineering. We had a saying at Purdue -- "Purdue University - where the men are MEN... and the women are too..."

    Maybe the forum should be renamed "The Man Cave" ?
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'd be half tempted to "put money on it" that this is the type of forum that garners ZERO females. Not to stereotype or anything.

    If English were your first language, you would see it. Doesn't matter. The horse is already dead.
