I just came to know about this guy's work. What a legend! Rest in peace. Some great work from this guy: ● AHCI CD DOS Driver ● AHCI for Windows 9x ● Full Disk encryption for Windows 9x ● PTCHCDFS - To correct displayed size of DVDs on Windows 9x ● Blu-Ray writing and reading support for Windows 9x ● >4GB file support for Windows 9x ● 48 bit LBA support for Windows 9x (HDD up to 2 TB) ● SATA support for Windows 9x ● >4GB RAM support for Windows 9x ● API Redirector for Windows 9x ● HDD Advanced Format support for Windows 9x ● SSD TRIM DOS program for DOS/Windows 9x on FAT32 file system ● 9x shell32 patch with newer functions ● Windows Driver Model (WDM) API Extender ● Update slipstreaming for Windows 9x ! Simply AMAZING! Thank you Rudolph Loew, you will not be forgotten.

Now I see a conflict of interest. While not entirely without provocation, as there were some instances of licensing/trademark misuse with the MailNews fork-off. Useragent sniffing is very distasteful, and in this case even misleading. I could sort of understand a BinaryOutcast-specific project doing something like this, MT is rather more rigid with rebuilds/redistribution of their projects (which is within rights). But barring access to a Pale Moon affiliated website strikes me as a pretty serious conflict of interest. Especially with the nature of the block. It didn't warn about your OS or user agent. It rather led one to believe there was a connectivity conflict. Even MyPal was reportedly affected, and they do everything by the book. Even created independent branding rather than adopting the generic 'New Moon' brand as requested from M.C. This was, if intentional, the biggest abuse of power I've seen from the project yet. I hope to see a reasonable explanation, because occurrences like this will not go unnoticed and potentially jeopardize the reputation of UXP. UXP during this time of chromification is needed more than ever. But on the other hand. Adopting a unique brand for NM seems in order imo. Serpent is similar in theme to Basillisk without grounds for confusion, I would think. Surely something lunar-themed or nocturnal for RT1's NM can be conjured up too

... Are you sure this is FULLY de-obfuscated? function displayContent() { if (X("0x3", "^Mn5") in navigator) { uaPrefix = navigator[X("0x10", "wOY$")] + "/5.0 (" + navigator[X("0x5", "&j9b")] + ";"; if (!navigator["userAgent"][X("0xf", "wkB!")](uaPrefix)) return; if (navigator[X("0x4", "G9*&")] && (navigator["oscpu"][X("0x8", "^Mn5")](X("0x9", "Puzb")) || navigator["oscpu"][X("0xe", "73(^")](X("0x11", "e6DU")) || navigator[X("0x0", "DLe0")][X("0x2", "fCh&")](X("0x6", "pseB")) || navigator["oscpu"][X("0xb", "k4n@")](X("0xc", "GBIt")))) return null } var ig = document["getElementById"](X("0x1", "6osW"))[X("0x7", "rMvY")][X("0x13", "czCY")](!![]); document[X("0x12", "&iPz")]["appendChild"](ig); document[X("0xa", "Y8yJ")]["id"] = X("0xd", "wOY$") } ... Though he doesn't acknowledge he had anything to do with their removal, Moonchild's account of things: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=198040#p198040 TL;DR 1. He pretty much (as expected) justifies M.A.T. because he was undeservedly banned from MSFN without notice, as being "a long-standing member with a good track record" () 2. Once again, fork users are being called "so selfish"... The whole affair boils down to two things, basically: 3. MONEY ; the addons infra is being maintained fiscally out of M.A.T.'s own pocket; supposedly, "freeloaders" such as the fork-users put a significant extra burden towards bandwidth consumption/server costs... Edit: Fork users, when using the default Search Engine, DDG, also contribute towards the official project by Moonchild, do they not? 4. Branding (and all related stuff discussed extensively elsewhere in these forums). NB: The term "out of spite" is never mentioned ... I must thank @siria for being the first person in these forums mentioning in the past this HIDDEN Firefox pref When SSUAOs for the add-on repos stopped working for me, but I could still access them in my sister's Win7 laptop inside the same WLAN, I became sure I smelled of fish ... I arrived to the conclusion he must be checking OS version by Javascript, so I remembered that pref and applied it independently on my own; I did not disclose this early on, fearing the involved person's unpredictability... general.oscpu.override changes the Javascript-detected OS version globally; you can read more about it here . However, I wanted something more elegant, that would only work on these two "affected" sites; since I have Greasemonkey for Pale Moon installed, I concocted the following userscript: // ==UserScript== // @name Fake 'navigator.oscpu' on PM & Bk add-on repos (25-08-2020) // @namespace VistaLover // @description Changes 'navigator.oscpu' on PM & Bk add-on repos // @include https://addons.palemoon.org/* // @include https://addons.basilisk-browser.org/* // @run-at document-start // @grant none // @version 1 // ==/UserScript== Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'oscpu', { value: 'Windows NT 6.3' }); Sharing it now for purely academic reasons, just in case... BTW, navigator.oscpu is a feature of only Firefox and friends, Chromium-based browsers don't (easily) divulge the OS version when queried by JS... So, one major crisis averted, I'm sure there'll be more coming...

The addon sites of both Pale Moon and Basilisk are accessible again for XP and Vista! The evil scripts have been removed. [Edit] He used obfuscated javascript, like malware writers often do. De-obfuscated: palemoon.js

The block was originally implemented (no doubt by M.A.T. ) in the afternoon (my timezone, i.e. UTC+0300) of August 14th, 2020; it denies access to forum.palemoon.org by UAs containing the PaleMoon/28.10.1a1 slice ; that one was relevant to recent New Moon 28 builds prior to the latest one (which, at last, has 28.10.2a1 as appversion) : What is noteworthy is the nature of the error generated, which would have the uninitiated believe it was related to a genuine TLS connection/certificate issue ... On that day, @roytam1 "dared" to post in The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread : https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=197174#p197174 which presumably tripped M.A.T. over: But the official forums do not only contain M.A.T.'s "board", who granted this individual God-like rights to ban online community content at a whim? <OT rant> I'm not a young person anymore, sadly, but I swear to all of you I hadn't come across, both in my whole real life and in my "digital" one (since ca. 2005...), such a mean-spirited, vindictive and petty individual, and this is also taking into account the latest unethical shenanigans... The great Albert Einstein might have said : ... but I must add a third one: human evilness Note to admins: As you all probably know by now, I have shown exemplary conduct in these forums; but this time I had to vent ; I apologise profusely and can only swear this won't happen again... </OT rant>

I don't quite understand the necessity for connecting to a site such as Wikipedia securely at all, this is just a free online encyclopedia, not a bank or a shop, these people have lost their mind completely...

The first beta 13 version, based on 86 Chrome, periodically crashes, but in general it is more stable than the first beta 12 versions.

I've updated my Opera 12.02 Certificate Authorities by collating certificates from the current Microsoft Roots Update CA, Mozilla NSS root certificate store and Azul JDK 8 keystore. Microsoft is the largest source of certificates and only one certificate from Mozilla and a handful from the JDK aren't already in Microsoft's Roots Update. Microsoft's Roots Update installs 51 expired certificates which I discarded leaving me with a total of 368 unique valid certificates. Of these, another 51 failed to install in Opera, 42 of which because they are elliptic curve certificates and the remainder 9 for unknown reason (they are RSA like the rest). In total 317 certificates have been installed but of course not all are new. You can grab the updated "keystore" file (cleaned from my personal certificates, Burp, ZAP, etc...) at the following link if you want: https://filebin.net/k3x0x97yygo19ylh To install, close Opera and overwrite the original opcacrt6.dat which should located at C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Opera\OPERA by default. You'll need to reinstall your Burp certificate and other similar certificates if you use any after that. Tools I used: OpenSSL executable (format conversion), KeyStore Explorer (viewing certificates and extracting some) and Clone Spy (pruning duplicates).

I was fed up with Burp systematically corrupting the registry lately so I'm now blocking the PortSwigger site by adding the following lines (not all might be necessary) to the Windows HOSTS file: 127.0.0.1 54.246.133.196 127.0.0.1 portswigger.net 127.0.0.1 www.portswigger.net The only downside is that the PortSwigger site can't be accessed anymore by any software (unless using a web proxy with a browser I guess). All the free extender entries in the Burp registry key can be deleted (saving about 1MB of registry space) and won't come back and neither will corruption. Burp help is embedded in the jar at Burp.jar\resources\Documentation\ and can be extracted for offline viewing. And something I forgot to mention about Burp is that you can make the jar file much smaller by deleting the x64 folders in the burpbrowser-binaries folder inside the jar, saves some significant disk space.

I use Extreme Explorer 360, and it works well. Chromium based browsers seems to work better with Discord than Firefox based ones. Run it as an app: Add this line at the end of the shortcut: --app=https://www.discord.com/channels/@me

Discord voice calls work on Yandex Browser (Chrome 57 engine, IIRC) without any modification.
