    Status Update -- I kind of fell behind as far as uploading a "dark theme" release. Still on the To Do List.

    Agreed (x2). I've always been a proud-follower of whatever web browser I landed on for whatever reasons I landed on it, and their has been many over the decades. But "follower" and "loyalty" are two different things. Not a fan of "browser wars" (I feel the browser-war mentality is actually kinda behind 'why' "official" Pale Moon has landed where it has landed).

    I've always "laughed mockingly" at those "allergic types" with their high-and-mighty undertones whenever they chime in with their pretentious "you are off-topic, please return to the topic at hand". These "allergic types" need to grow up! Look at ANY forum and "analayze" their content. Try to find ONE, just ONE, where 90+ percent of the posts are "on-topic" (excluding forums so niche that only 10 members are active versus a forum with 1000 active members). It is HUMAN NATURE for conversations to diverge a tad, SO WHAT. Forums have a tendency, due to HUMAN NATURE, to be oh, just guessing, to be roughly 40% "off-topic". So yeah, "don't waive your bony finger", let the discussion RUN ITS COURSE, period. It is HUMAN NATURE and makes for a more pleasant ambiance than having some "pretentious dude" waive a bony finger at each and every one of those 40% "off-topic" divergences, "you are off-topic, please return to the topic at hand". I'd personally ban the "bony finger" dude over the topic-divergers, but maybe, just maybe, that might be because I just "diverged" herein.

    I turn DEP off completely. Not sure if that would help with this error or not (perhaps test in a VM?). In the boot.ini file, I use /noexecute=alwaysoff to completely turn DEP off, I personally don't want it for "essential Windows" or for "all programs", I want it off completely. "Not for everyone." "Mileage may vary." Not claiming it's a "major" performance boost, but I personally don't like Microsoft's ideas of "protecting me from me" and I see DEP as along those lines.

    How about a screencap? I'm not keen on installing the script until I can physically SEE what I will gain BEFORE installing it.

    Link does not work. I'm "done" trying to download Catsxp. If anyone can find an actual download, please host it on an ENGLISH website and I'll download from there.

    v1.4.4 does NOT work in XP. These guys made the same mistake that Sleipnir and Maxthon both made for YEARS - advertise XP long after no longer working in XP.

    I don't have any experience with LTSC 1809. My Win10's are 2016 LTSB 1607 (there was also a 2015 LTSB 1507). Had to pull teeth with Corporate to get this edition.

    This is a GIGANTIC leap FORWARD in my view. LESS is MORE. It takes me hours upon hours spanning several weeks to REMOVE all of the "features" that is 'included'. Below is my Win10 start menu once I've removed all of the crap, my "baseline" operating system for a couple company laptops. That's EVERYTHING (as far as the operating system goes, everything else is ran from a local "cloud"). I don't just remove the "features" from the menu, they're completely uninstalled and blocked from installing themselves. Took several "permission slips" from Corporate IT because our "Local IT" department keeps BS like XBOX and gaming "features" and "apps" and "solitaire" and a bunch of useless s#!t for a COMPANY COMPUTER. "Local IT" prefers to just redirect things like Xbox and solitaire, even a weather and map app that came on these laptops, with a big popup, "You do not have permission to run this app". I take a different approach, I don't want the crap cluttering my start menu!

    I submit that some will disagree with "change" for no other reason than it is "change". I googled (had to Google that out of curiosity, the "past tense verb" is not supposed to be capitalized) for XP Browser and MSFN.org shows up on Page 1 of the results. I googled for Vista Browser and MSFN.org shows up on Page 2 of the results. These will promote higher on the results pages because of how Google's algorithm works. The more ACTIVE these threads become the HIGHER they rank in ANY search engine list of results, not just Google, at least that's how I understand search engine algorithms. The web browsers discussed here are not really limited to XP. There is a large number of active users in the XP threads that don't even run XP.

    No clue what "Moebius" is outside of this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip

    Definite irony. Dropbox does work fine from BNavigator.

    If we can at least FIND an XP version, and if it proves as a worthwhile candidate, I could MAKE it into a Portable.

    I am assuming that none of those work in XP. Is that a correct assumption?
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    That doesn't get us to an actual download link - have you been able to find an actual download for CatsXP that will run on XP?

    For those following the http://www.speed-battle.com/speedtest_e.php test results - I found the "security" setting that drops ALL of my Mozilla-based browsers to UNGODLY LOW scores. For "security", I disable IonMonkey just-in-time compiler because this Mozilla-based vulnerability is listed on various security exploits lists over and over and over. It gets patched one week to be exploited the next. So I disable IonMonkey JIT with this about:config setting -- javascript.options.ion -> false (default setting is true). For reference -- BNav scores with this set to true -- 1415.32 1412.07 1408.19 BNav scores with this set to false -- 156.12 153.80 159.93 (despite the massive hit to performance, I still prefer IonMonkey JIT to be disabled (ie, set to false))

    I had to grab a calculator just for curiosity. Firstly, HOLY CRAP, a postage stamp is 58 cents? When did that happen? I could have sworn we were only at 42 cents! So that postage stamp adds 3.6% to my $15.98 water bill. Just seems wasteful to me
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm not a fan of paying that 1%. I avoid using postage stamps. I bought two booklets of the "Forever Stamp" in 2008/2009 (right around there because I bought this house in 2007). A booklet is 20 stamps so I bought 40. We are closing in on 2022 and I still have 26 of those 40 "Forever Stamps". I personally and sincerely hope that there comes a day when the US Post Office delivers mail only ONE day per week! Not six days, but ONE day per week! https://keller.house.gov/media/in-the-news/usps-has-lost-78-billion-2007-despite-receiving-billions-taxpayers-every-year

    Are you wanting your sfx install to just extract files? Or are you also wanting it to add entries to the registry?

    Testing this theory out of curiosity. Using my Arctic Fox 2019 profile in Arctic Fox 2021 and in NM27 2021 (tested on i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz w/ 16 GB RAM in XP x64 SP2). ie, all three of these tests are with the same exact profile as I really don't recall which, if any, about:config changes I made when I was using Arctic Fox 2019. Arctic Fox (December 19, 2019) == 1417.01 1433.34 1440.03 (holy crap! first time I've ran this test and this browser on my i7!) Arctic Fox (November 11, 2021) == 1462.38 1438.28 1458.66 New Moon 27.10.0 (2021-11-12) == 1440.03 1420.79 1438.28 Confirms it. But I don't recall which about:config changes I've made since 2019 "in the name of security" but clearly at the cost of "performance".

    Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz w/ 2.0 GB RAM on XP x86 SP3 -- ungoogled v11 == 439.74 442.73 ungoogled v12 == 472.67 474.99 ungoogled v13.5 == 463.31 468.59 Arctic Fox == 554.04 555.55 (being CDO [OCD in alphabetical order], I was tempted to screencap the 555.55, felt like winning the Lottery [which I do not support!]) Chromium v49 == 584.83 599.35 Mypal 27.9.4 == 83.92 80.04 NM28 == 66.37 67.20 BNavigator == 64.16 62.66 ps - I think there are config settings that I have set for security purposes which lower Mypal, NM, and BNav results - not sure, just UNGODLY low! ps2 - cannot (will not) run DcBrowser on this machine, it's on a separate wireless and only gets truly "vetted" browsers ever ran on this network.
