    To be honest the only way to not get your data filtered to anything is to not use digital technology at all. There will be always something that can be extracted from us as long as we use a computer. That being said, when I first started modding this browser I was very scared of my data being sent to china and all that stuff. At the end I losed that fear because it is useless (and also maybe because I have nothing to hide). I reduced all the outgoing traffic of the browser to the internet I could see in the extended amouth of period I was testing the browser. AFAIK, the only thing that matters is the outgoing traffic as it is the data that can be sent to the internet, requested by servers out of the computer. With this I am not saying that you should not be afraid of your data being filtered but to address that being extremely fearful about data being filtered its not correct (its bad for health as well), we all have a level of comprehension with which we can tell if something is dangerous or not. Also, IMO malware/virus detection software is as paranoid as a person that is afraid of black cats because they are bad luck entities. In Linux OSes there are not such things (and if they are, they are very unpopular) because it is the OS itself that should be able to protect himself from external stuff. Regarding the loader of the browser of this thread, I believe it can be written in a BATCH file completely, if it loads the browser with arguments and deletes several folders at the end of execution then that can be acomplished with a BATCH file. I don't know about registry edits in BATCH but I know BATCH allows registry editing. Cheers. PD: Sorry for my english, I have not practiced in a while.

    I felt I had to share this here.

    Do all these settings make the browser execute/perform faster/stable? Those are a ton of files .

    The file involved with the new tab was completely removed. The browser just assumes it is just an empty website and unfortunately I can't change that default behavior. Cheers.

    try replacing the "resources.pak" file of DC Browser with this one --> https://www.mediafire.com/file/j8bdaayxqfde63j/resources.pak/file Cheers.

    Sorry that I've been lost recently, very occupied . I want to say that when the last v13.5 version of 360EE comes up I will make an edited version of it. I already forgot what was the stuff I did but thankfully I wrote my notes so I can eventually remember. As for the other browsers (just to clarify): - DC Browser needs no more edits, I did the edits I could do (I literally just edited a few binary strings and it turned out I could modify some stuff on the browser and then I decided to release these browsers on MSFN after a few edits to see if people could benefit/like my work) and I don't have anything else I can add to it (the same applies with the 360EE versions on this thread). Maybe someone can expand its functionalities with Assembly knowlegde or something of low level of that kind but I unfortunately don't know anything at all of that area. - The same from DC Browser applies to Mini Browser. Cheers and thanks for using the stuff I published!

    The value "宋体" you say I got it before. Test this font to see if it changes something --> https://www.mediafire.com/file/4aqksrm525jhsnj/SegoeUIEmoji_fakeSimSun.ttf/file This will replace the "SimSun" fonts on your system so be sure to backup them before installing this. Sorry for the all the testing.
  8. Humming Owl
    The only thing I can think right know is for you to install these fonts --> https://www.mediafire.com/file/s5pho1827w1ey8h/calibri_w7.zip/file They are the Calibri fonts of my Windows 7 installation. I compared them to the ones you have and the sizes differ (the Win7 ones are bigger than the ones you show). Try them to see if anything changes.

    Some backups exist already --> https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome_extensions/comments/xn4ypi/we_need_to_backup_all_the_mv2_extensions/ Hopefully they can be accessed without problems at the time Google makes its moves. I hope everything is going well for you. You are the first person that I see that has that FontFamily value. Can look at your installed fonts to see which fonts have in their name "Calibri" and share them? Cheers.

    Back when I tested this issue I assumed it was an older timezone issue. The reason was that the timezone used for my country changed a few years ago but was then changed again to its original value in more recent years. Windows XP assumed the first timezone update for my country but not the second. And the browser reflected that on the history tab. On Windows 7 the time is displayed correctly on the history tab because the OS has the right timezone for my country (the second update). The same I believe could be applied to other timezones (specially the ones with daylight savings and similars). Is the timezone selected in your XP OS the one that is used by your country in the present?

    I don't really know about that, but I know that the custom download engine is the same version in all browsers. I guess you can add the respective files and see what happens. You may want to try these extensions or an equivalent one. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/memory-saver/dhnagkedjknpmhmdoaggchdefbmbeabk https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-tab-discard/jhnleheckmknfcgijgkadoemagpecfol Cheers.

    Some issues with persistent storage with extensions tend to appear with 360EE. Try using an equivalent adblock extension if you want to test if the same happens. It is exactly the same just with a XP theme, some custom flags (configurations) when starting the browser and the capacity of installing extensions directly from the google webstore removed. All of which can be added to what I share. Cheers.

    I use uget, I believe it still works for XP (if not an older version will). I believe it is ok. I don't use antivirus programs but I know they tend to classify malware for their origin/name. For example, if I name on Win7 a file "patch.exe" (I believe that is the name) then Windows won't allow you to execute the mentioned file just because of the name it has, I assume the same applies for an anti-virus program. In case you want to do something you can remove the "components/download" folder as the warning might be because of the "special" download engine the browser uses to download files. Eliminating that folder won't cause any issue in downloading files in the future. Cheers.

    Hello. If you refer to v13.0.2310.0, the lastest update for it was on 04/25/22. The lastest updates for v9, v11, v12 and v13.0.2250.0 were done after v13.0.2310.0, that is why the dates are different. They are all in Internet Archive. Cheers.
  15. Humming Owl
    I believe versions above 4 don't work on XP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94b4qXWZHCo Cheers.

    As another probable solution you can use @heinoganda's certificate updater for XP. I used it on Win 7 and worked to solve some certificate issues I got a while ago. It is a manual process but some people would prefer it over an automatic update. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1110568 Cheers.

    - Updated v9, v11, v12 and v13.0.2250.0 EN and CN versions with lastest minor edits I mentioned before. If I don't find anything else to edit, this will be the final update for all those versions (including v13.0.2310.0 EN and CN). Cheers.

    If you are referring to the webstore shortcut on the new tab page, you can delete it by hovering the mouse over it and clicking the 3 dots icon at the top-right corner of the hover area. In case its the button to install extensions from the Google webstore I really don't know how. There should be a "Customize" button at the bottom-right corner of the new tab page. Click it, and go to the "Shortcuts" section. In there should be an option for disabling the shortcuts on the new tab page. The computer I have is at least 19 years old. Cheers.

    In case someone want some fonts on XP, in this folder I will be posting some fonts I was messing around with. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1hf8d38zg8seq/Fonts The ones that matter are: - SegoeUIEmoji_edited.ttf (Segoe UI Emoji font, version 1.35, with proper flag support from the Twitter Emoji Font) - Twemoji_13.1.ttf (Improved B/W Twitter Emoji font, name is "Twitter Color Emoji Thick") - Twemoji_13.1_fakedSegoeUIEmoji.ttf (the same font as above but with the ID of the Segoe UI Emoji font to make it load the emojis on the browser) The original project for the Twitter Emoji Font is here --> https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font The other ones are for testing purposes. Cheers.

    No. You will have to look for the User Data folder on some folder or you can try using these flags to set another location for your user data --> https://superuser.com/questions/1130368/chrome-user-data-dir-not-working-properly I don't know what do you mean with that. Try using DNSQuerySniffer to get the actual URL. Maybe it is a regional thing only, because I don't get that connection. This browser had its interface modified by its developers so it wont work as a normal Chromium interface.

    Nice to read that. I know that you said that the emoji support for the browser interface was getting a little complicated but I think I managed to get the font to work. The font I previously shared had "Microsoft Sans Serif" as the name but in your 360EE registry it said "MS Sans Serif". Well, the font that is requested by the browser in your case is indeed different than the one I shared. I realized that when looking at this thread --> https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/ms-sans-serif-font.122939/ I've added an Impact font with the ID of the real MS Sans Serif if you want to test in this folder (named "Impact_fakedMSSansSerif.ttf"). I included as well the Original "MS Sans Serif" font (named "sserifee.fon"). Cheers.
  23. Humming Owl
    @Dave-H Try this font --> https://www.mediafire.com/file/op0i6rdpd0mkou1/SegoeUIEmoji_edited.ttf/file Cheers.

    I really didn't experience any crashes (I've only used lower versions of the browser for XP). I believe crashes might happen frecuently on newer hardware because Chrome tries to use those resources but they are unreachable just because the OS can't allow the browser for using them (but it is just a guess maybe is the same for older computers). Either way, glad you liked MiniBrowser. I think I can add flag support directly to the Segoe UI Emoji with FontForge. I can link the flags to substitute the letters, but it will take a while because there are a few of them. In that way you can conserve the Segoe UI Emoji and the flags from Twitter Color Emoji. --- Added lastest 13.0 version of the browser (13.0.2310.0) in English and Chinese. I will update all v9, v11, v12 and v13.0.2250.0 with some small changes that I noticed when editing 13.0.2310.0 Cheers.
  25. Humming Owl
    Can you send some screenshots using both Segoe UI Emoji original and the Twitter Emoji font to compare? Twitter emojis are SVG images loaded within the text, this font is a way to have those SVG images as a font to use in websites or for personal use.
