I Recommend running it in a Sandboxie box whether you trust it or not. Research its many uses and the best ways to use it. Try to run all browsers (or at least the less trustworthy ones, like Google Chrome °) in a Sanboxie box, but note that some browsers won't function properly in a Sanboxie box without a fair amount of extra tweaking Having a wide variety of browsers at your disposal increases the chances of being able to display any page and view any web media.
#NOVABENCH .NET 4 PORTABLE#
Portable Browsers I recommend making a folder containing every trustworthy (or semi-trustworthy) stand-alone/portable web browser you can get your hands on (official or unofficial). Random Agent Spoofer (useful but not for everyone) Some extensions, like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger can actually potentially improve performance.
#NOVABENCH .NET 4 INSTALL#
If your comp is quite old, you'll need to monitor the performance effects of every extension you install to determine if they're worth keeping.
#NOVABENCH .NET 4 UPDATE#
Version 4.0.0.44 appears to be the last release under Tall Emu but I haven't found an installer for that version yet.Īt a later date, I'll create another thread dedicated just to browsers, and I'll update this post as well.įirefox King of the browsers Here's a few useful extensions ( as of the date this was posted). Version 4.0.0.15 is the version that worked best for me.
#NOVABENCH .NET 4 .EXE#
exe file to make sure the company shown is Tall Emu. Newer versions, after it was sold to Emsi Software, are bloated crap, so, after you download it, hover your mouse cursor over the installer.

Tall Emu Online Armor Personal Firewall ° I didn't get a chance to use this one much because it was conflicting with a piece of obscure software I had installed, but it was one of the most recommended firewalls for Windows XP. I usually only use version 6.5.737 or prior. I still trust it more than Windows Firewall. Zone Labs eventually made a statement about it but it was cryptic. Only problem is that it was caught sending small encrypted packets to an Israel IP even after setting it to ask for user approval before phoning home. Zone Labs ZoneAlarm Good and lightweight.
Later versions are bloated & dumbed-down and make it clear the author began to prioritize profit over security/efficacy. Makes no attempt to install any garbage.Ĭomodo Free Firewall I usually only use version 3.0.14 or prior. Privacyware Privatefirewall ° My current favorite by far. The ability to monitor and block/allow both incoming and outgoing connections is usually critical for true security & privacy. Media Player Classic Very good, lightweight, open source and potentially stand-alone.ĭisabling & replacing Windows Firewall is usually a must. Regardless of what settings you use, both players will always try to phone home to some extent so you'll want to permanently block their Internet access via your firewall. For both of these players, you'll need to pay close attention to the install options to make sure no unwanted items are installed, and, after install, you'll likely need to change some settings to disable updating and other Internet-accessing features.
I actually use these more than VLC because of their intuitive default behavior and ability to play essentially anything without any fiddling.
PotPlayer or KMPlayer Both players are pretty similar but PotPlayer is arguably better. Does have some bugs and unintuitive default behavior though. Enormous capability, ethical behavior and open source. Whichever one you install last will likely be your default player (because of file associations). I recommend uninstalling Windows Media Player and installing one (or all three) of these. Just provide your recommended alternative instead. Try not to turn this into a thread of criticizing other people's recommendations. My intention is to only list free software. I've since realized that this leaves them with no starting point and no examples of software a person might want/need to have installed, so I'm posting a small number of recommendations or examples that come to mind and I encourage others to do the same. I've been answering by saying that there's an XP version of virtually all Windows software, and that you can find an XP program to accomplish just abut anything you'd ever want to accomplish on a PC. I've had multiple people (mostly new XP users) on this sub ask me what software is available for XP.
