I guess it's fine, but only if you visit sites you 100% trust. Thank you for the response. I already changes DisableVirtualAlloc and running with --no-sandbox flag but it doesn't work. Doesn't even start. Any other ideas ?

I didn't try myself on Win 8, but I kind of gussed it will not be finished with just replacing virtualalloc. In Windows 8.1, the missing imports in DWrite.dll can be replaced with kernel32.dll Edited October 10, 20232 yr by mjd79

The fonts look smudged, is it the usaul case with 8/8.1, the same ugly/blurry fonts, like in Windows 7?

October 13, 20232 yr Can anyone check which version of Cool Reader 3 works on Windows Vista/7/8.1? I tried running it on my Windows 8.1, but it only crashed. https://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/

I don't get any crashes.
