My Browser Builds (Part 5)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Will take your word for it. I do not "troll" that forum. I have no clue of this poor soul's thinking - past, present, or future. I do know that even here at MSFN, we have "rib pokers" so yeah, one has to learn to see them as such and IGNORE THEM. -
My Browser Builds (Part 5)
NotHereToPlayGames replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
The "comment" didn't look that "bad" to me. A "rib poke" only escalates if the owner of the rib "reacts impulsively" instead of "acting consciously". The "comment" was nothing more than a "rib poke". To me, it looked more like a *TEST* - some sort of "watch this, I'll post this and then I'll monitor MSFN, now I will know what members there also read here". -
I'd also add that *NONE* of us MSFN XP Users have a "setup" like that BIASED video used. They opened all ports, set everything to lowest security possible, didn't NAT on LAN behind a router, you name it. They *WANTED* to be *INFECTED* and so they "configured" their XP to *BECOME* infected. By all means, DO THAT TYPE OF SETUP in 7, 8, 10, and 11 and "report your findings".

I've seen that video before. I am unable to replicate. Granted, my XP install *never* (and I mean *NEVER*) connects to the internet *without* Proxomitron filtering/blocking those connections. Personally, I would love to see this same exact "test" be performed on 7, 8, 10, and 11. Do you really think for one second that Malwarebytes won't find similar with 7, 8, 10, and 11 "if installed the same way as the test-case XP" ???

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
NotHereToPlayGames replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
I prefer Proxy Switchy Auto version 1.2.2. With it, if a web site is "sourced" by three different servers, I can send each server through its own Proxy, none of the three servers know they each served content to one end-user.- 922 replies

Because MSFN would cease to exist if it weren't for - 1) People with very old hardware trying to run modern web browsers 2) People with very new hardware trying run or "look like" very old operating systems

My Browser Builds (Part 5)

I've seen the browser-level fill-login broken in the past as well! It's actually why I use an Autofill extension nowadays. A ran into a lot of web sites where the browser-level fill-login would remember the USERNAME but would NOT remember the PASSWORD. Some of those were with an "input" parameter that could be REMOVED by PROXOMITRON, but not all were that "simple". As far as workig on 11 but no longer on 7, I wonder if it's a "ssl cert" algorithm? I've seen portable browser, exact profile, work in 10 but not on XP all on account of ssl encryption algorithm. -
You'll just have to witness it yourself. The WinPenPack prevents (ie, "redirects") those registry entries. But you do have to be "smart enough" to edit the .INI file (and "smart enough" to delete any registry entries already present). I trust that you (smart enough, that is).

We're TALKING IN CIRCLES. I've already mentioned that I do NOT use "installers".

Definitely NOT me! I disable "HW Acceleration" on all of my HWA-capable computers. -

NotHereToPlayGames replied to mockingbird's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Agreed! Same here. Single-core CPU, XP x86, IBM ThinkPad T42. This T42 is on its "last leg", I only keep it around to tune aftermarket turbo's and hex-edit Engine Control Modules. I am in-process of migrating all of my engine tuning software to something else - because one of these days, it is SUPERMIUM that is going to outright KILL this laptop! -

I'll hit "run again", walk to fast food down the road, and see if a second run improves. Scratch that. Computer locked up at 100% and I had to unplug the d@mn thing to reboot! Supermium really really REALY hates single-core computers! -

XP single-core - 360Chrome [86] == 23.04 seconds Chrome 92 == 15.92 seconds Chrome 108 == 26.52 seconds Thorium == 18.02 seconds Supermium == appeared to lock up at 3.24 seconds, waited anyway, appeared to lock up at 80.99 seconds, waited some more, still waiting, still waiting, 381.74 seconds Granted, I may be behind a version on both my Thorium and my Supermium. And the author of Supermium does explicitly advise not to run on single-core (but this is supposed to be for OLD computers, so I'm running on an OLD computer). -

Is that FOUR point eighty? Or NINE point eighty? That font is TERRIBLE. -

Can you name such an extension? I use the "X-Chromium" WinPenPack loader and I've never witnessed any extensions writing to the registry. From here: https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2169 Then replace the "bin" folder with any Chrome-based browser you want to make portable.

All I can tell you for 1,234,567.89% is that none of my Chrome-based browsers make any permanent registry writes and none of them store data "outside" of the PORTABLE LOADER'S "bin" "user" folder. -

NotHereToPlayGames replied to mockingbird's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
True. I've *never* "installed" any web browser in over 20 years! Too much CRAP used to be "bundled" with browsers so I stopped "trusting" installers a LONG time ago. -

Not if you use a "loader" such as WinPenPack or X-Chrome or PAF, they all work for Supermium and Thorium to make them portable with zero registry-writes and fully self-contained folder structures.
