My Browser Builds (Part 3)
soggi replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
VLC 3.0.17.4 also runs fine here on a Lenovo T60 with Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 and WINXP SP3 POSReady "hacked". My second thought was also about SSE2. BTW @VistaLover it doesn't matter if it's a single core or whatever P4 - all Intel Pentium 4 CPUs since the first incarnation "Willamette" support SSE2. The Willamette introduced SSE2 into the market in ~2000, AMD got it licensed and introduced it with there first Opteron/Athlon 64 CPUs (codename Hammer) in 2003. So I guess @Reino has an Intel Pentium III / AMD Athlon XP or earlier!? BTW2 the site https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/20033 doesn't show anything except the top and left menu with latest NM28. BTW3 I really appreciate VLC media player for having a simple GUI, being OSS and for being very backward compatible for years. The latest versions for Windows 95/98/98SE/ME (VLC 0.8.6i), Windows NT 4.0 (VLC 1.0.5) and Windows 2000 SP4 (VLC 1.1.11) are available for download from my website -> soggi.org - tools. Maybe I should add VLC 2.2.8 for non-SSE2 CPUs running WinXP!? kind regards soggi -

Yes, I can confirm this for the latest New Moon 28 build (20220625). I wanted to download the latest WinSCP version and was wondering that nothing happened after clicking "Save File" -> "OK" within the download dialogue. Then I tried my own page (soggi.org) to download a file - again nothing happened. So I switched back to NM28 (20220618) and everything works fine with downloading files. @roytam1 please have a look at this! kind regards soggi -

Thx for the suggestion for these versions - I'll have a look at it!

My Browser Builds (Part 3)

Oh yes, I know about this "time bomb" thing. After that I deinstalled Adobe Flash Player finally with the hope I'll never need it again but yes I knew some day I'll have to install this crapware again...just because of these outrageous Flash only websites from the late 90s and the 2000s. Based on your comment I started the search for version 32.0.0.371 and came to the Archived Flash Player versions (via archive.org) (edit: also available from the archive.org - Adobe Flash Player Complete Collection) where a lot of old versions are available. Version 9.0.289.0 is already in my archive as it was the last release for Win98SE when I still used it very much. The latest version for Win2k should be 10.3.183.90 (ESR) which was released over 1 1/2 year after 11.1.102.55. My question had the background that I thought there is a project (or some projects) which removed the "time bomb" - but maybe it's this "china thing" (which I wouldn't use either). edit: Found it -> GitHub - FlashPatch! With this someone can remove the "time bomb" / "kill-switch" from the latest version 32.0.0.465. BTW this "chinese thing" is an official version maintained by Adobe - "but contains a non-closable process, known as the >Flash Helper Service<, that collects private information and pops up advertisement window contents.". There are cleaned versions available. /edit Maybe...I'll consider to put some versions on my website...let me know if this is requested. --------------------------------- OMG...didn't had the time to have an eye on this topic back then. Now I came across it through PM's English Wikipedia article and also found the following statement by Moonchild -> Pale Moon forum - Outage post-mortem, and apologies. Good news that mad M.A.T. has departed from the PM project. Despite everything - best wishes for him and especially for his mental health. Hopefully(ish) this will be a new start and a reincarnation and no nullishing of the PM project, keep fingers crossed. kind regards soggi -

Did you read the "Alert" message? RZ can't connect to pagead.googlesyndication.com, this is just advertising BS - just block it with NoScript/AdBlock or something like this. The *.googlesyndication.com domain should be blocked in general as it doesn't serve any valuable content. BTW: Anyone knows a good Adobe Flash Player solution for NM27/28 these days? I need it to visit (old) snapshots of Flash based websites on web.archive.org. kind regards soggi -

Hopefullingly extremelyish!!! BTW as not being a native English speaker and also not being a programmer (not worth mentioning my experiences with BASIC, Turbo Pascal and Delphi over 20 years ago or very little C, PHP and JS more recently - and HTML [where I'm relatively good at] is a markup language but not a programming language) I always asked myself what's this "nullish" stuff. kind regards soggi -

I have to add this to my previous post... The whole thing arose from the circumstance that Pale Moon for XP wasn't tolerated anymore in the Moonchild / Matt A. Tobin universe and has been banned therefor. This was a very wrong decision, in my opinion. Why to work against fellows in this small OSS browser niche of Pale Moon? I still don't get it... There are chances of benefit for both sides, untapped potential. I understand that WinXP and prior are EOS long since, but Pale Moon XP / New Moon (with a *unsupported* mark, for my sake) could be released with latest Pale Moon under one umbrella. This would be a win-win situation. I hate people... head -> table, head -> table, head -> table... kind regards soggi -

Of course, like support for WinXP ended with Pale Moon 26.5 back then. But I have to say, that I installed latest Pale Moon on a Win7 machine some days / couple of weeks ago and really was surprised again (like years ago when I switched from FF52 to PM25/26) - I really like this handy and fast classic UI, which can't be fully restored with latest FF ESR. kind regards soggi -

For offline purposes WinXP will always be fine, there's no reason to stop it's use. The advantage of older systems is that you always have the power of decision what you want to do with them - even if connection to the Internet has been cut. Just one prominent example: I keep a .mp3 collection (mostly ripped from CDs I own) to hear music while using the PC f.e. and I also copied some albums to my iPhones. So I'm independent of the availability of a streaming service or internet connection in general when I want to listen to some music I like. A bad example: in 1997 we got our gas heating which is dependent on gas and electricity supply. If one of the two fails we can't heat up the water and our rooms. Unfortunately we knocked down all the tiled stoves in our house back then... kind regards soggi -
