Yes , I think so too , very informative topic and the member @Dixel is friendly . I hope we shall have a similar tool for our favourite 360 Explorer (version 13.5.1030 or 13.5.1060) some day ! https://msfn.org/board/topic/183169-an-ex-dj-from-holland-hacked-mozillafirefox-code-and-wrote-a-tool-to-mock-this-pitiful-browser/

I have none , on several different computers.

Anyways , I think he just found an excuse to avoid creating something similar , because it's very difficult and I totally understand that ! He doesn't owe us anything , he is not in our debt or anything like that. Though, I think he could've just answered with a simple 'no' and not play mind games .

Strangely enough it worked today ! I was able to give a like to your post . Perhaps they just limit the amount of likes to one person per day. I'm not sure .

Hi and welcome , the same to you ! Could I ask what HDDs have the lowest failure rate this year ? I'm gonna purchase a 6TB drive and don't know what to choose . WD60EFAX , is it any good ? Thanks.

Yes , chrome 86 released in 2020 and we shall soon be in 2022 . So I guess it's time to look for alternatives , it doesn't matter if this browser was good for a certain amount of time. It's in the past . I used it too and was satisfied and I 'm grateful , but now it eats up my RAM like crazy . One twitter page and 2,2GB is not normal.

I opened a page on Twitter , it's not even fully loaded , but the memory usage for this browser is already over 2.2gb , if I press "Speedup", it says "can release" 1.33GB !!! What's going on with the internet ? Is it normal ? The same with MSFN , just like the others said . MSFN is very heavy for me too . Proof :

Try to increase the RAM size.

Did I miss something ? Anyways , I understand people can have different level of skills . Thanks for pointing that out.

Seriously ? 1/2tb drives , it's almost 2022 ! Well , if you collect 360p then I guess it's fine. I have 6TB additional drive on my main PC and I can't squeese my own videos from the camera onto it . I wouldn't purchase anything smaller than 8-10TB these days. I need a new drive ASAP.

I've been meaning to ask , are there any alternatives to YT . Preferably without the need to log in , as I heard some rumours , yotube will soon force everyone to be logged-in , like they did with instagram, thank you .

I just did that and it blocks certain functions , for example I can't put likes to your posts anymore . It says something like "sorry , this function is not availalble at the moment".

Strange , it works for me. What about the others ? @UCyborg, @Humming Owl, @XPerceniol, does it work for you ?

I think he did it , did you read the article shown above your comment ?

Hi , if you're going to do it , could you create a similar tool and add it to your version ? Thanks . https://msfn.org/board/topic/183169-an-ex-dj-from-holland-hacked-mozillafirefox-code-and-wrote-a-tool-to-mock-this-pitiful-browser/

@IXOYE is right , I have the same problem . It reverts back to the russian or chinese squares . Dixel's method works , but it can revert back again sometimes . @NotHereToPlayGames , any way to hardcode it into the browser ?

When they tell you something, it's actually not what they name it . Here, let me help you with translation : Epic Privacy Browser = Epic Privacy Failure Browser. Besides , it can't use extensions , so a hard pass for me. How am I supposed to use a browser that doen't allow extensions , it's just nonsense . What about no-script and the such ?

I was on Firefox for some time and I still sometimes use ver. 78 , but it's a total nightmare , it's not only not private , it's terribly inconvenient !

@Vistapocalypse Yes, it was an update that updated the kernel to 6003 , you're right ! It was yet another version of that bloody "supposed-to-fix" hasswell fake news nonsense. There are several of them. I was experimenting , even though it was a non-haswell machine. If you want to know the name , here goes . Stack update , there was no need for it . It installed just fine without it and didn't ask for it . May 14, 2019—KB4499149 (Monthly Rollup)

No , they don't . Please , try yourself. First off , they will whine about "locale not found" , but even if you'll able to install , they will pretend they work when the actually don't. Also , most are auto-switched OFF after you restart your browser. Let's say you try any well-known ad-blocker .

Tripredacus, the file is there , in the location you named , and not only there , it's scattered across all of the system , including winsxs and filerepository folder (several of them) . I'm guessing from different updates I installed before this bloody one. I don't care about this testing system at all , there's nothing important there , but I'm just curious what could cause this , since I didn't use any third party tools , I just rebooted , like Windows told me. I myself use Vista without updates on my main PC, in this case , I just wanted to try out several updates advertised by some members. Just out of curiosity . Speed tests , etc.

I dunno , ask your friends who upvote your OT posts just for saying something against me , like this one . This topic became all about WU, net 4.6.2 and other updates , but no one seems to care . I write ON-topic discoveries , like the KB I mentioned earlier , which allows to install the EX-kernel without the terabytes of additional garbage , and you said I write OT posts. Are you OK ?! About "friends" , I think we all should be friends here , at least friends of Vista. Yes , he was the one who said "fake news" , since there's no proof about hasswell , so let this term belong to the OP Dixel , make something up yourself and don't forget to oppose me with yet another OT to get more upvotes. In the meantime , I want to ask @win32 , are there any plans to add support for chrome extensions , thanks ! Because if no , I'll just join the 360 team.

It won't let me pass this warning . Safe mode also doesn't allow me to boot the OS . It constantly says , no HAL.dll found . It won't let me choose repair or restore the system from the original media. I'm guessing HAL.dll is a very important file . It was included inside this bloody update. But there's just no way to install it again . And even if it would be possible , it makes no sense , like I said , the update gave me troubles. Thank you for the advice.

Says who ? Did you try to do it yourself ? I tried , it works , because all needed files are already inside , ask win32 to open it and check. I shall tell you more , I tried to install Nvidia HD driver from 2021 and Vista said it is not signed , but right after I installed the aforementioned update , it let me proceed with the installation ! So it includes SHA2 too ?! (I'm not sure , I'm just guessing here). So don't go attacking me again , please . I only write about my personal experiences , and I don't understand why some new member is allowed to post whatever he wants and you don't have anything against it , but with me you call it "fake news" ? Also , I'm sorry, I forgot to incude quotes in some previous post , will you forgive me please , OK ?

Hello , I have a damaged OS with this issue , just like you described ! I uninstalled a terrible update that gave me troubles , rebooted ... and now windows says "hal.dll is missing" , which is not true , because I have lots of them in the right locations (I compared with another Vista) , the only difference is the name of the folders where this file located (in winsxs folder, others are OK). It's not my main OS , it's for testing only , is this OS lost ? I'm just curios , thank you ! I tried to repair with the original disk , but it won't start the repair , it only suggests me to install Vista again in "emergency enabled" ?! mode or smth like that , I don't remember the exact name . The most important , it doesn't let me choose the repair option.
