Reminder - I disable webgl and remove swiftshader ON PURPOSE. If your end-use requires these "security vulnerabilities", then I have already discussed how you can add these "features" back in. As also already discussed, I have no intentions of adding these as default out-of-the-box functionality.

This is not a "debate". The fact of the matter is SIMPLE - when you have an issue in DcBrowser, 360Chrome, and St55 then that website was designed for MUCH HIGHER than XP SP2. I have officially added you to the "ignore" feature of this website. Label that "making my life easier", don't care, life is too short to assist you personally at such a high frequency. There aren't that many of us that are "active" on this forum - I am not here to assist you on a personal basis on the "hundreds" of posts you are constantly finding. These "findings" are YOUR problem, not MINE. Have a great New Year.

I would like to propose that for the New Year, that @msfntor consider please starting his own thread as opposed to cross-posting identical issues in this thread, in Humming Owl's thread, and in Roytam's thread each and every time he finds some sort of nuance in the "hundreds" of browsers (I'm exaggerating, "slightly") that he seems to use on a daily basis.

Works for me. Just do not start posting "use Linux" every other post. Because whether you see it or not, that's what most Linux-users do. They "troll" WINDOWS forums and post USELESS "use Linux" BS. But anywhoo...

Here you go -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2rvqtwvo02zhm0/5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2017-06_2.7z

Ta da! Kinda suprised I found it that fast, to be honest, I thought I might be digging through DVD-R's for a couple of hours, lol. Will upload and provide a link shortly.

Did find "5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2015-07_1.7z". Will keep hunting but if you can use this one instead, please let me know.

Digging through my archives. I might have it.

I've decided to be a tad more non-conformist than normal. Boiling water on the stove for two ears of corn on the cob - for breakfast.

Agreed! And apologies, I slightly edited and added "while" you were quoting me, lol.

I personally find that to be one of Linux's downfalls. Don't get me wrong, I like "experimenting" and "tinkering" and I consider myself much more "advanced" and "geeky" than the vast majority of "computer users". And I have EIGHT computers so I can "experiment" on one and "use" another. I personally roll my eyes in disgust when I hear "people" (I wanted to swear here, but I'll refrain) say things like "use Linux" when people (non-swear general populous) using WINDOWS ask a question on a WINDOWS forum! It's basically "trolling". Lurch around on a WINDOWS forum just to throw out "use Linux" each and every chance you get? To be fair, that same type of person exists on Linux forums but they stand on their soap box and shout "noobie" when people ask questions. Here's a fun read -- https://devrant.com/rants/1447500/i-really-honestly-am-getting-annoyed-when-someone-tells-me-that-linux-is-user-fr I'll use my uncle as an example on why that timeline is kind of the "downfall" to Linux. My uncle retired from GM and my cousin worked two summers with a mutual fund investment firm before he decided to go into law enforcement instead. This is several years before GM went bankrupt and required a "government bailout" (one moment while I spit on the ground in disgust!). His 401k had THIRTY mutual funds to choose from. The vast majority of factory employees (even on the salaried side like my uncle!) are "clueless" when it comes to taking a list of THIRTY mutual funds and narowing it down to three or so to allocate funds into. So he never did! Despite asking me and my cousin to assist him! So GM defaulted his retirement funds into GM stock. No diversification, just one basket, all GM stock. My uncle is the type that used to cuss and swear when anybody would "attempt" to park in his driveway with a FOREIGN car. But because my uncle did not want to take the time to research THIRTY mutual funds and allocate his 401k properly, he took a major beating when GM "restructured". He drives a TOYOTA now! Point is, having "that many" Linux distros is kinda along the same lines. "In my view." "Mileage may vary."

Wow! Holy Crap! I didn't see "Linux Mint Cinnamon" but in hunting for its branch I saw something called "Commodore OS". Wonder if it's a Commordore 64 clone?

Humming Owl beat me to the punch. Yes, it could just be a screen issue.

They do. I know I've tested that in the past (I own 8 computers!). But I don't recall if I had to do anything "special" or not.

I'm "mixed" on that, to be honest. I really don't "expect" XP to last 'forever' and I actually support developers that stop supporting XP. But I equally support developers that continue to support XP. I personally AGREE with "official" Pale Moon's decision to no longer support XP. I certainly do not support "official" Pale Moon trying to axe down any developer that does wish to continue support for XP.

I've never actually used "Firefox", strictly speaking. I've used IE6, IE8, GreenBrowser, Sleipnir, SlimBrowser, Opera 12, QupZilla, official Pale Moon 28, Chromium 49, NM 27, NM 28, Mypal 27, Mypal 28, and now 360Chrome. All as "daily-for-everything" browsers spanning months, if not years, but all eventually died out like "Firefox" [as far as XP-support and web compatibility]. I've tried literally dozens outside of that list, but they were more out of curiosity and none of them became "daily-for-everything".

I also had to ditch several Firefox extensions that I was accustomed to. I've never really been a fan of Chromium until 360Chrome came along.

If the settings are greyed out, then the extension does not work in 360Chrome.

This is the Speed Dial that I use -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speed-dial-bookmarks/anlhakiodmebohjmkbciohpglnjifjaa

You should be able to just delete/remove the New Tab Tools extension. If that doesn't work, perhaps Settings -> Basics -> On Startup -> Open a specific page or set of pages -> chrome://newtab/

My favorite. And it's a bonus that my beloved NY Mets won the World Series in '69

Never heard of a .pif

THREE of my computers were GIVEN to me all because of the previous owner taking a computer with XP on it and installing 10 then hating the computer ever since so they went out and bought brand new and give me their "slow" Win10 computer.. Back up to speed once you reformat and install XP.

That's the equivalent of throwing money into the toilet and flushing it into the sewer. It takes a disciplined spender, but I purchase EVERYTHING on "cash-back" credit and it's always paid-in-full each and every month. That "cash-back" adds up and is "free money".
