    Best soluction for me seems to be using older less updated versions like debian 9 or other works well. Maybe you could try oldstable builds instead of rolling releases like manjaro unless your mainboard or some of your utilities or other need newer linux kernel.

    i mostly meant if can use AMDGPU driver it works great for most part, but AMDGPU only works with new ones for most parts. I was diagnosing one pc with ATI Radeon HD 6800 I think and my way test any system I got is fire up linux on it since got full desktop from pendrive. I had black screen on after grub and loading text and though gpu was broken until did swap to console mode and had warnings. So AMD only partially fixed it recently, but unless got RX series GPU you are SOL. ATI Windows drivers were trash. Omega drivers were half decent to them since they fixed most ATI shortcomings. that compatibility with graphics card and other hw is why I cannot go linux full time. Many claims linux will magically work on older hw which is in reality is not true. I have had issues with older Broadcam wifi cards, intel wifi card flashed led like crazy by default, many times gpu lacks hw accerlation that works on Windows no issues. Maybe if all did is using office programs and browsing web can replace, but I still cannot get my hardware or software run under linux properly.

    Amd drivers are better on linux than Nvidia. Even though they are not perfect. I was never able to make AMD hd cards work proper under Linux. I had laptop with AMD R8 and AMD driver caused any desktop to hang since power management error that spammed console. Interesting enough same error did not appear on legacy mode only uefi. Only error free is Intel igpu but those cannot run games or other 3d intensive things properly

    palemoon goal was also remove many of antifeatures firefox had and that os why it runs better on many hardware. It wont focus bloat, rather to do what web browser is designed to, view HTML documents. Only thing I would consider "bloat" is sync feature but atleast it wont push it to my face all the time. Mozilla turned bloat at one point and palemoon kept is optimised code instead of adding useless featues. Many say Palemoon render engine is bad because it is slow and cannot play DRM videos . It is slower and wont work on some new site not because it is bad and old rather since Chromium optimised technologies. It was like back in day peoples said Netscape and Opera did not support latest web standard that ie did while IE standards were broken to begin with. Also Palemoon devs did not bother with EME since it is antifeature And I think gansangriff meant their decision artificially block XP and being hostile torward anyone even thinking it. Well Tobin was hostile torwards openbsd devs too. Feels like they do not want anyone use their browser. They should update their slogan to "Your browser your way (UNLESS you want use legacy firefox extensions, since I want artificially block them, want run it on anything expect teh latest and greatest windows since we artificially block older versions I mean they cannot run and roytam1 never did make it work on xp or anything or want make your custom build which case we will hunt you down like did to openbsd version and Mypal.)

    Bit off topic but your desktop looks bit funny to me. Like Windows XP and 7 mix. First looks win7 with classic theme then when look closer it is xp. Is that some sort of mod or tweaked fonts?

    q35 chipset had it. It was called AMT back then. Dell had it way before others though.

    well mpl licence can technically allow limit access to source code while give access to it for some. Things like that kinda ruin whole idea of having open source project. I always though open source meant anyone can modify and access it freely but was wrong. Impression was mostly given since iceweasel was not killed by mozilla for licence violation, none of system d free distros were not killed by mainstrem distro etc. I really hope current moonchild production owners would leave the project and someone with sense would come instead. I said mozilla will sink first but seems Palemoon will before it. Atleast mozilla wont attack against librewolf or ff45 sse. Mozilla is funded by google so palemoon was only indepent project (custom engine and was able work without mozilla), but developers will kill it themself

    Well palemoon developers hates tor and other anonymisers. Peoples who block tor does not realise some peoples have genuine need to use it. Maybe I could start recommending against palemoon since they hide source code from public and may have something to hide on code and recommend use it forks instead. That is not lie, if they do not let everyone access source code and could maybe make developers come back to senses when get bad image

    I have not donated any project for long time since all I did went undesirable path. They discourage peoples from donating to actually good projects since fear from wrong path. It is because supporting legacy os kills "professional look" for some reason. It is some twisted image on many peoples head that professional only run latest and (not) greatest operating systems and softwares and other only stupid diehard peoples run anything older. And many peoples try to be like that. I remember one place how they spoke how some stupid peoples without knowledge want still run XP when support ended and how companies think their benefit when dropping sw support and how professional uses Windows 8.1. Well I am professional and work with servers and run XP and 98lite on my personal machines for most part and can say running XP requires much more knowledge than buying laptop with win10 preinstalled, downloading chrome to watch cat videos on facebook. I got knowledge and experience run OS I want as daily driver. And running old hw and os does not mean all software must be old. I am also running linux dualboot on many of my machines where new Windows wont even boot and works great. And if professionals do not use old OS why many CNC machines I seen on production runs Windows 98, 95, 2000 etc? Because software been many times designed for those and system and upgrade would break them. Those are used do very precise PROFESSIONAL work. I have seen lab equipment running Windows 3.1 on 486 since it used ISA card and seen water quality analyser lab computer running Windows 95 and those two are not professional systems? I got nothing against running latest os just want peoples realise "Professional" image is made by companies to increase sales

    I am using MCP based ports (newmoon and mypal and webbrowser on linux) since are last browsers without all antifeatures, sensible classic UI, classic addon support. Antifeatures like webrtc, eme, invisible recapta, telemetry etc

    all same thing that did not work on win10 plus task bar being locked wrong way on my tests. Most can be still forced with group policies though if pro
  12. Nokiamies
    funny that it offers left and middle only and they all are forced to centre until activation of Windows. I guess OS begging, nagging and showing watermark did not make peoples activate Windows so now they force taskbar to wrong place by default to force peoples pick buying licence or losing productivity
  13. Nokiamies
    i had link to it too on my post. Underlined text means link but most wont notice them so good you posted those. I confirm that is one I use and runs no issue under w2k

    Since nobody seems have mentioned Boingo wireless is one I use. That works with my Intel 2200bg wifi card on my Pentium M notebook running vanilla Windows 2000 professional SP4. It worked with every win2000 compatible card that can do wpa2 and has no issue connect any network on my experience. I have also used that utility with same WIFI card as you do many years ago so as long you got latest win2000 driver wpa2 will work just fine

    Atleast caps did not cause fire like on one dell. Electrolyte ignited at bootup ruining board. That is not too bad price. I got ok soldering skills but would not touch mainboard that I do not want to lose either. And I usually let one of my relative do it since he is way more skilled than me and is happy do it free as long as I got caps for him. Lucky it lacks since some systems had it since 2006 (amt). I could say same from my Pentium 4 system (asus p4p800, 2.80ghz Pentium 4 socket 478, Gainward 6800gt) . Pretty powerful and all it needs it more RAM. Now got 1gb and consider getting 4gb to it whenever find decent deal nearby. It has been sitting on closet for too much because had no space for it earlier before moved to new place. Now can put it back in order. Gpu needed fan replacement since worn bearings. Swapped 60mm noctuas to it. It does ok for factory OC gpu (80c max) since 6800 run hot. I got plan to hook into my DiamondView CRT and buy few large hard drives and also install DVR card to it too for watching SD quality TV programs and reading teletext. Just bit worried from burnin risk caused by TV channel logo on top. Otherwise it is solid and powerful machine with right software and funny enough I will likely use it more and invest more money to it than main system but well my money I do what I please with it

    mean that and audacity. They were bought out and new company added telemetry to it. First version of their privacy policy before was polished after storm from users caused me lose trust on them . Adding Mypal vs Palemoon just made it worse year. Also could add Signal mobilecoin intergration and failing publish server source code to list of bad thing happening open source.

    that is very good question. I do not like idea of needing extension to every search engine since one can add other nastiness to browser. Also makes it harder to add custom search engines

    I had similar issue on my test system with debian 11 and KDE, but also had mouse glitching out on compositor enabled (black box where mouse was sometimes). On me problem ended after switching off from proprietary NVIDIA driver to free one, but then lost most of 3d features and had lower performance on anything using hardware accerlation. Gpu I used was 1050 2gb. It is not distro specific issue rather driver. Does free driver make different? Manjaro has device manager that allows toggle between free and non free driver, so reverting is easy

    I got NM28 on 478 socket 2.80ghz Pentium 4 and have no issues with it unless go to soyware sites without blocking JS. Well dunno if it is different on Pentium 3 but for me Pentium 3 is win95-2000 and Pentium 4 to 98 or XP because had no XP until I got new hw long ago

    well good thing is there is no fast cryptomining exploit baked into browsers on Windows 7 and 8 or even worse ways compromise system. What next? WebHDD that allows transfer files directly to hdd or wipe it like activeX could. Webbrowser insanity started since 1997 had not stopped. Web browsers are not meant to this Well to answer original question google said in begin of 2020 that they will support atleast for one year on windows 7 so it is possible to kill it. Wonder if someday I wont be able access webpages since Chromium only technology, sites needing webgpu and webassembly enabled and others since refuse use them
  21. Nokiamies
    That is pretty much right on stock android. On android 10 atleast if allows it only trough android own framework that is limited to certain folders only and recovery needs root access. Only way do it is from sdcard good, then there is hope. Like UCyborg said you may need root it and do this. Sadly rooting usually wipes the device memory

    those wont work to download. But like @Skorpios mentioned earlier it "offical" site (https://www.mypal-browser.org/release/) is all but sourcecode luckily, but wonder how long until tobin and other ddos or contact vps to shut it down so backup while can. I downloaded copy with WGET to my system. Likely wont host mirror of them online to avoid DDOS/Being hacked or ending to other trobles but got backup of ALL files to personal use. Tobin need come take my cd disks to get rid of them. Never though would need see this much effort to preserve FOSS project. This year been horrible to open source community and showed it bad side

    would be nice to see "secure" sites like bank and cc sites to do same as proper darkweb sites. Blocking access if js is enabled telling you disable it and requiring no js to work. That would increase security of them a lot and courage others drop js too. Js is not as bad as Webassembly or activex but it is still security risk and has no place on any secure site. And claim js blocks bots is false. New bots can read js only sites too.
  24. Nokiamies
    I second this. Noscript for clickjacking and XSS protection and Umatrix (nmatrix on me) for rest. Umatrix is also good way learn how web works. My bank needs only main site and subsite js to be enabled. Rest like google stuff is useless. And I wonder why in world does bank use third party provider scripts that can cause major security issue if vendor gets compromised. If js is not blocked malicious script can steal password or even do transactions in theory

    Well child part on their name defines developers mental age very well. That is very low
