    To ME, no! To "most people", yeah. Or "probably" at the very least. The same can be said for not running any anti-virus program - I hate anti-virus programs with a passion! I've never in my entire life been hit with a virus despite NEVER RUNNING anti-virus programs. It's about knowing HOW to use your computer, what you can click, what you can't click, what you can open, what you can't open, et cetera - you either do this by habit or you don't. If you don't do this by habit, then your computer needs to protect you from you - so don't disable DEP, run an anti-virus, get hit with three different programs asking "are you sure" every time you want to DO something. But if you ARE click-savvy by nature, then NO, you do not need DEP, you do not need anti-virus, you do not need User Account nags, you'll be just fine without having to jump through three different "are you sure" popups.

    I also run from an ssd without a pagefile. Only difference between our setups, by the sounds of it, is that I have DEP disabled via boot.ini -> /noexecute=alwaysoff

    I'm no lawyer and I haven't fully followed all of this "mud fight", but there are slander laws here in the US where Tobin could serve jail time. And unless I'm mistaken, those laws also could be used by MSFN to sue Tobin for his remarks against this community. But at the same time, why would MSFN want to jump into this "mud fight"? I seem to recall a time where there were rumors that Microsoft was going to "come after" MSFN - or was that nLite, I guess I don't recall because I didn't follow that "mud fight" very closely either. No dog in the fight...

    Very interesting indeed! I opened that previous version here and nothing is in bold, unsure why it is bold on your system. I've hunted up and down on how to make the title bar bold because all true XP applications have a bold title bar - but I've never found a way to make it bold.
  5. NotHereToPlayGames
    It all kinda makes my head spin! I find it impossible to follow objectively and unbiased.

    I'm opting to skip a Win2k skin. Your needs are quite specialized and you seem to have the ability to resolve this on your end. I'm assuming you have experimented with v13's DPI options?
  7. NotHereToPlayGames
    I think you will need to stick with an XUL-based browser in order to maintain that much control over GUI fonts. Pale Moon / New Moon / Basilisk / Serpent / Borealis Navigator / BNavigator. I've made zero changes to fonts in any of my v13 builds so I have no clue why v13 will (if I understand you correctly) display the GUI in bold in one build but not in bold in another. I know I've seen some bold GUI fonts when I run v13 on Win10, but I've never seen any bold when running on XP.
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    You gave absolutely zero details that would assist anyone in trying to replicate.
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    Keep us posted. Note that I have uploaded updated rebuilds in the pinned XP 360Chrome thread.
  10. NotHereToPlayGames
    Updated rebuilds. These are still XP skins, it may be a week or two before I can devote the time to create a Win2k "classic gray" skin. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5b3repgs8ck0zeu/360ChromePortable_12.0.1247_rebuild_2.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fk69d5jhc2vwyg/360ChromePortable_13.0.2206_rebuild_4.zip Special thanks as always to @Humming Owl as the hard-coded portions stem from his builds and he also removed a to-do item from my list with the video and copy-paste tooltip conversions. Also duly note that my previous v13 builds had an issue with downloading .csv files from some sites (such as Google Sheets) and that has been resolved in this build. edit - minor update to v13, link updated to newer upload
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed, I leave that out of the public release. Here's what I use -
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Within reason. I will leave it to the readers of the forum to decide just which of us is being "reasonable" - both sides have pros and cons. Attempting "zero fingerprints" on the internet? The ONLY way to do that is to NOT be on the internet, PERIOD! The dichotomy paradox - you will never get there! This dog has no interest in chasing his own tail. "To each their own..." "Mileage may vary..."

    To the best of my knowledge, none of the Chrome extensions pertaining to themes will work in 360Chrome. I've only tried a couple and not sure if this is true across the board or not.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Oh, so you want a Windows 2000 look instead of an XP look. I'll create a Win2k theme and report back.
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    You're on the internet, you're on Instagram, you're on Twitter. Don't kid yourself for one solitary second that you yourself have not been "fingerprinted" and stored in a database "forever". Get over it, dude! And PLEASE, I publicly INSIST -- PLEASE STOP HARASSING ME in the guise of "jokes" or "rib-jabs"! This HAS TO BE a violation of forum rules, albeit within a very fine gray area and to individual interpretations!
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    Can you provide a screencap of something with a "classic gray" color scheme?

    I have not tested with Webex. We have a project that will hire six new people and we are targeting Monday, October 4th for the start date on that project. I'll likely not be able to test Webex until then. I tend to default to Win7 for all of my Webex meetings, but I'll be sure to test on XP though you may get an opportunity before I will.

    Here's another read on it -- https://www.chromium.org/audio-video/autoplay/autoplay-pre-seeding-in-chrome <excerpt> Chrome typically learns a user’s preferences within six to twenty visits. </excerpt> This is clearly not the root cause of YouTube crashes on brand new profiles when YouTube crashes when opening a second tab. I still like the find though. I really can't test until YouTube starts crashing again.
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    According to here - https://newbedev.com/reset-chrome-media-engagement-score - this is reset on my end because I clear my cache on every browser exit. Very nice find! But I need to cross my fingers for YouTube to start crashing again before I can test it. I really only had YouTube crashes for a span of 2 or 3 days or so a week ago or so. I mean, yeah, it was enough that I rebuilt a v12 and made it my default browser. But now I want YouTube to start crashing again on my v13 so that I can test this new flag.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    I just YouTube'd in my untouched v13 build 2206 rev 3 and I cannot get it to crash today without making any changes. I seem to be back to exactly where I was before the YouTube issues started happening a week or so ago - where I could not get YouTube to crash no matter what! So I cannot really test the flags posted - because my YouTube is no longer crashing. I know for a fact that YouTube (and Google) have been making codes changes (because I had to tweak Stylus style sheets) so my best guess is that one of their code changes was causing YouTube issues a week or so ago.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Does not seem to be relevant. This would not explain crashes to brand new profiles. Plus I clear all cache and index files upon each and every browser exit. This would also not explain why MSFN has recently started crashing v13 360Chrome.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    Have you tried any of the 360Chrome releases? Here is the download link to my v12 -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/2r7r53j4i55iuyw/360Chrome%2012.0.1247.zip Here is the download link to my v13rev3 -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyyimm3h58r3963/360Chrome%202206%20rebuild%203%20-%20unran%20-%20MSFN.zip Humming Owl's releases -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/ My v12 has been rock-solid for YouTube. I have TRIED to crash it by loading twenty YouTube videos with all twenty playing 720 and with all twenty having audio on. I have not been able to crash v12 no matter how hard I try. Most tests are performed in XP x64 with 16MB RAM but I have also tested in XP x86 with 4MB RAM with twelve YouTube videos.

    I was unaware of this version also. Found the Mypal mingw32 but couldn't find the Centaury mingw32. On the to-do list to give 'er a trial-run.

    Regarding search engine financial gain, that is interesting indeed. Not sure how to estimate that "financial gain" - nor is it really any of my business, in my opinion, but there is some public-domain sites ( https://www.sitelike.org/similar/palemoon.org/ ) that do place a "value" which does I suppose at least put things in a little perspective. google.com = $3,335,302,900 duckduckgo.com = $5,100,900 opera.com = $1,261,700 mozilla.com = $894,900 kmeleonbrowser.org = $451,200 firefox.com = $145,200 mozilla-russia.org = $107,200 msfn.org = $40,700 maxthon.com = $25,900 palemoon.org = $19,000 basilisk-browser.org = $600 browser.360.cn = $100 rtfreesoft.blogspot.com = $0 binaryoutcast.com = $0 mozilla.org = $0 mypal-browser.org = $0 vivaldi.com = $0

    Mypal source code has ALWAYS been EASY to find! I personally wouldn't mind a how-to guide on HOW to compile it myself. You can "claim" that they exist, such as this -- https://developer.palemoon.org/build/windows/ But has anyone here ever FOLLOWED those instructions -- they do not work. I've tried a dozen times in the last two years and I've always failed The Linux instructions might work, but I only dabble in Linux for GUI-something-different-FUN, I can't really "do" anything in it -- http://developer.palemoon.org/build/linux/
