Hello, where did you go?
-
I had written about user agent hacks ages ago' all can be found at my account, people just don't listen, hopefully they will listen to @AstroSkipper. Another important hack is OS bitness in user agent, always choose 32 bit OS. esp. if you're on XP 32 bit! Youtube (and the such) will serve less scripts for 32 bit OS.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
Dixel replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Yes, I recently also started to encounter weird website behaviour, I reported here. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186000-posting-test-string-boot-ini-causes-http-403-forbidden-error/?do=findComment&comment=1264723 Interesting, I have no "forbidden", but the posting sometimes takes long time to pass through. Living in Holland, I have a very fast internet connection. -
OK! Thank you for your time.

That's not applicable to this precise case when @AstroSkipper is going to download that WHQL driver directly from Microsoft website to check if it helps with the browser, and it had been written and explained in the previous replies. Are you trying to imply it can be tampered on by the evil hackers on-the-fly, during the download?
-
And what I meant is, if a driver is WHQL, it can't be unofficial, esp. since Microsoft gives that stamp. With WHQL you can be sure it wasn't tampered. I don't know how much it will help with browser acceleration on that old card though.

A bit "laxed" requirements for mobile users. "For older Chrome or on Mobile, you need to toggle TLS 1.3 hybridized Kyber support (enable-tls13-kyber) in chrome://flags." I don't see such flag in "older" Chrome 113.

They bumped up to the minimum demand to Chrome/Edge/Firefox 124, lol. Basically, update your browser every two weeks now. Supermium and Thorium are obsolete. https://pq.cloudflareresearch.com/

They don't like your IP. -
Updated MX vs ATV Legends v3.04 (Season 3 Update) now requires Windows 10 But they say there's still a Windows 7 Fix available, not sure how good.

Seeing pure white 255 means your brightness is at max. You need to look at other colours, like you successfully did with grey. Compare black levels.

Yes. and some people are sensitive to LED lights, thus using LED back-lit monitors isn't recommended. I still use an old CCFL, and full RGB looks good.

No, everything is fine with your eyes! Starting somewhere in 2012-2013 all Nvidia cards are terribly bright and contrast by default. There is a lot of information comparing them to old AMD (in favour of AMD's default colours).

@AstroSkipper, respectfully, drivers from Microsoft can't be unofficial. Example of waht people think in terms of minor update going from .xx to .90. Microsft labs extensively tested that drivers, especially during that era, with browsers being on one of the first places in the test. Example 347.88 vs 347.90 (Microsoft). "I tried them out, and I definitely prefer them to the 347.88 WHQLs. Seem to be smoother to me." "All good to my experience" https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/347-90-version-on-windows-update.397826/page-3

There's a documented difference with grey colour and its shades at github and by you here (thanks!). For me, the problem is with colours being too light, like on that first screenshot. I run Vista without exkernel.

What do you think about the use of AI in web search engines?
Dixel replied to a topic in Web Browsers
Sucks because you need to "register". -
Not from my experience, I agree with Klemper, I once had Win7 updated itself, even with the update service unchecked via the system configuration! The only way is to prevent it from starting via services. (choose disabled at startup). Startup type = disabled.
