FranceBB Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Chromium-based browsers use just a portion of the code and they might not be updated. For instance, k-meleon is based on Firefox, but doesn't support all the Firefox functions; in fact, I tried to install puglins meant for Firefox in k-meleon, with no luck with almost every plugin, except for a very few exceptions. I'll look more into this and I'll give chrome another shot. Edited May 14, 2016 by FranceBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP support will be dropped in Slimjet 12 Quote XP users can continue to download Slimjet 11 from the early version archive. If there is a critical security issue with Slimjet 11, we will update it into the Slimjet 11 branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yes, a great shame about Slimjet, as I had started to use it and really liked it. It even still supported NPAPI plugins like QuickTime up until version 10, based on Chromium 50, which I'm still using. The next version 11 (Chromium 51) will still work on XP but has dropped NPAPI plugin support, and as said the next version after that (12) will no longer run on XP. I actually wish they'd dropped both NPAPI plugins and XP at the same time, and kept the last version that supported both updated with security fixes but no new enhancements, and I've said that to them in their forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibya Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 hi , Any of you here behalf of me can suggest following thing to slimjet. *Custom Kernel32.dll can be made with Wine for linux soarce code *Import can be changed to ker32 or something else and also custom Kernel32.dll can be renamed to ker32 to provide missing api to xp ( And this can be used with every system dll) I hope they will continue XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippykip Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Might be waaay over-thinking here and might sound dumb, but what if it's possible to create a stub kernel32.dll in the chrome folder which inheritances everything from the regular windows kernel32.dll but has the GetThreadID function along with others chrome uses now? Or is it just simply not possible at all? Edited July 25, 2016 by Kippykip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 @Kippykip... or it will automatically change it back and then boot, depending on where you change it in the registry first. I tried that long time ago... P.s I'm gonna post FFMPEG and FFAStrans successfully backported to XP tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 And that would be an awesome thing! Unfortunately I've been pretty busy at work and I'll keep being busy, unfortunately.
