... Freedom of expression? My... behind! (pardon my French ... Pun intended, as OPer is from France ). Loading the linked URI in latest Serpent 52.9.0 32-bit, I'm seeing the following: ShadowRoot is part of Google Chrome's WebComponents framework... Shaka Player is a Google-owned web player framework, in the posted screengrab it's looking for EME (Encrypted Media Extensions), i.e. DRM support (aka WidevineCDM, another Google "asset" ) in the browser... Finally, apart from the CORS issue spotted by @roytam1 , the site produces two more errors: To sum up, this is yet another site coded in a way to cater exclusively to latest Chrome and variants ; I wouldn't call this "freedom", would you? (at least where user freedom to choose a browser is concerned... ); in the same vein, citing that 360EE and (Chr)Edge can handle the site/web player fine is a redundant thing to say; the web of 2021 revolves solely around Chrome, period...

I assure you that I hate that as much as you do What is one to do -- "Mongo only pawn in game of life."

No problem! I just googled "detectportal.palemoon.org" (4 results). [Edit] I just noticed that network.captive-portal-service.enabled is already set to false by default in New Moon 28.

Hi no problem, the audio stream works very well...

I prefer not to use the host, or the firewall, when I can avoid it. Following your suggestions, I added to the following lines to user.js user_pref("captivedetect.canonicalURL","''"); user_pref("network.captive-portal-service.enabled", false); Thanks!

I'm hoping to have a rebuild of Build 1054 posted sometime over the next couple of days. I would be interested on Cisco Webex feedback once the rebuild is ready.

See: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=631 And: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/issues/18 Try what happens when you add: 0.0.0.0 detectportal.palemoon.org to your hosts file. Or delete the string value of captivedetect.canonicalURL in about:config. And/or set network.captive-portal-service.enabled to false.

Here You Go! THREE YouTube tabs on XP x86 SP2 VM with 2 GB RAM! Audio was a bit choppy (but come on, who listens to THREE videos simultaneously!) And that comes from a guy that DOES watch TWO televisions simultaneously! No crashes for a good five minutes of this "unrealistic scenario" - but I didn't let it run for 3hrs either. Did the test twice because the first screencap I forgot to have the v13 build version dialog open as proof.

I glad the OP solved the slowness problem. I came across a similar situation back in the XP era. A friend's laptop which had been working normally, slowed down to the point it became almost unusable. The specs were 2.0 GHz Celeron, 512 MB of DDR2, shared onboard graphics, XP Home. As it was still under warranty she took it back to the computer shop only to be told they can't find anything wrong with it hardware-wise. "Slowness" wasn't covered by warranty and they had no idea how to fix it. My friend thought the preinstalled crapware utilities may have been what caused the slowdown and she may have been right. I told her I would have a look at it. I upgraded the RAM to 2GB thinking that should fix it. NOPE! It ran a little faster but not by much. At the next boot up I decided to look into the BIOS to confirm the SO-DIMMS were recognized. They were. The only thing that stood out was the amount of memory allocated to the graphics chip was set to the lowest setting, 4MB. With the RAM upgrade I had done I set it to the highest setting, 32MB as I recall. I saved and exited. When XP loaded everything was as it should have been. The laptop was no speed demon but the molasses-like slowness was gone. It looks like the low MB setting in the BIOS for the graphics chip was a performance bottleneck that slowed the entire system, but how did it get that way? The crapware utilities? The laptop worked fine as it now was but I could not resist doing a clean install without all the crapware.

Yep, and again that could be connected to the Media Type. In these or similar cases you can still use a workaround. Format "quick". The new filesystem will have the minimal structures (FATs or $MFT, etc.) and will be (at filesystem level) "empty". Now create a new file (or a few of them if hitting the 4GB FAT32 limit) occupying all the free space, then 00 the file(s) and delete them. I think you cannot use fsutil as it will create a sort of sparse file, if I recall correctly fsz (part of the DSFOK toolkit) creates 00 filled files, the 2003 toolkit contains creatfil.exe but cannot remember if the generated files are 00 filled, otherwise you can use the dd for windows by John Newbigin. jaclaz

It is not a bug, let alone a bag , it is by design, (though poorly implemented in Win9x), some related info: https://techgenix.com/w98tcpip/ Surprisingly Microsoft has still a related troubleshoot guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/troubleshoot/how-to-use-automatic-tcpip-addressing-without-a-dh turning APIPA off may help, but the "right thing" to do is to use static IP addresses and using not DHCP (on the Win9x systems). jaclaz

Thanks for the feedback. What's an "IG account"?

I'm feeling: Relaxed

Updated build 2206 rebuild has been uploaded. Did not do any changes with Chinese Avatar (I don't use the Avatar but I'll visit that at some point). No resources changed as of yet, the discussed resource changes also exist in "vanilla" Chromium so I'm unsure as of yet on their removal. 360Loader.ini has been reverted to default format as far as cache and cookie management - but the settings to keep cache and cookies between sessions will require the end-user to visit the pertinent settings. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2pwk0551kbe4b8/360ChromePortable%20%20--%20%20Build%202206%20-%20MSFN%20rebuild%20v2.zip?dl=0

Would 360 have the right audio codecs to support Discord voice chat in-browser? I've tried every available browser, but none do, and I want to be sure ahead of time before I begin installation

if you need an adjective there, "Hongkongese" may be applicable, otherwise please omit it.

Guys I have to thank every one of you. I upgraded the ram to 4gb. Replaced old spinning hdd with 500gb ssd samsung 860 evo. Reinstalled windows 7 but remained at 64bit flavor. GUYS this laptop has never been so fast like it is now. It boots up under 20 seconds. Websites are snappy (well snappy considering this cpu) and for 2-3 tabs in browser it is more than enough. Before windows 7 I tried vista again on that ssd, but it kept bluescreening with dpc watchdog violation. Mom is happy with 7 though so it is not a problem at all. Again HUGE thanks to everyone that helped and suggested actually good things.

I like the web version too but the voice chat function doesnt work.It says "Upgrade to the latest chrome,opera,firefox 38+ or use the app"
