I also had to ditch several Firefox extensions that I was accustomed to. I've never really been a fan of Chromium until 360Chrome came along.

Drifting a bit further off-topic, but he piqued my curiosity: I followed @VistaLover's instructions and the troublesome page now works on 360EE v13.0, along with the promised nag: So JS is clearly the problem (and NoScript is looking like the probable reason for @luweitest's success) but 360EE v13.0 is based on Chromium 86, which I'm quite sure is newer than the oldest version of that particular page, archived on Aug. 2017! So I tried the page again, in honest-to-goodness M$ Edge on honest-to-goodness Win 7, and it's broken there too! Well, at least it isn't specific to XP/Vista, but what the heck are they doing (or trying to do) anyway? I still suspect M$ sneaked some JS onto their pages that they knew would cause them to break on the Wayback Machine. (Gees, wouldn't it have been easier to have just used robots.txt?) Luckily only 19 scripts blocked on the oldest version, so time to start searching for the "bad" one.... ... and the winning uBO filter is: ||web.archive.org/web/*js_/https://support.microsoft.com/app/content/bundles/application$script,domain=web.archive.org (I changed the date stamp to an * so that - hopefully - this uBO filter will work on other M$ KB pages with this issue.)

I can only say my Basilisk also has network.dns.disablePrefetch user set to true and network.prefetch-next user set to false without me changing them explicitly. Prefs with "worker" in the name are all at default here. "Proper" might be subjective depending on how you want particular parts of the browser to behave or if certain by-default disabled functionalities work as they should. Some sites might make good uses of service workers, though I suppose judging by recent experiences they don't work as they should, at least compared to mainstream browsers.

Sorry to hear this bad news @VistaLover Yeah, this year is starting out rough, indeed.

OT: ...This isn't probably the right place to post this, but since I am/was most active in these threads, here comes my bad news: My cherished Toshiba laptop from 2009, that came with Vista OEM 32-bit originally, has died on me a little more than two hours ago... No previous signs of an impending doom, I was merely browsing (in 360EEv11) when the screen just started flickering on a frozen frame, just out of the blue, and I had to disconnect power to forcibly shut it down... After I put the power back in, the laptop simply won't start anymore, the screen remains permanently black, I can feel some disk activity by touching the laptop, but just that... Sadly, I'm completely clueless when it comes to H/W, can be anything from a dead integrated GPU, a dead CPU or something else (the HDD was in good condition, AFAIAA, replaced last in 2017... Of importance to me is 12 year-worth e-mails contained in Windows Mail, and a ton of other valuable things contained in the internal HDD (I don't have recent back-ups of...) This is me posting from sister's Win7 x64 laptop, via a portable Serpent 52 profile I carry on an external HDD... To add insult to injury, I painfully discovered that "portable" 360EE profiles do not carry with them saved cookies/account credentials for sites, unlike Mozilla browsers... Needless to say I feel very distressed now, this is still the Holidays period during an omicron exponential surge, PC repair shops are mostly closed/half-working... I'll probably have the laptop evaluated by a technician during the coming days, I don't hold high hopes for it to be brought back to life (and at what cost?), all I can hope for is that the HDD is OK and salvageable... This was just a "to let you know" post, 2022 apparently only brought havoc to me thus far... Yes, cr*p like this happens, but now that it has, I'm a total wreck inside... I wish all the best to you, despite...

I'm "mixed" on that, to be honest. I really don't "expect" XP to last 'forever' and I actually support developers that stop supporting XP. But I equally support developers that continue to support XP. I personally AGREE with "official" Pale Moon's decision to no longer support XP. I certainly do not support "official" Pale Moon trying to axe down any developer that does wish to continue support for XP.

Oh that is a shame, I've been using it on Firefox for years! I've actually just been testing it on Google Chrome 49, to see if it works there, but I'm not having any luck. I'll investigate alternatives, including the one you use. Thanks, Dave.

Floaters are normal. When asked by eye doctor in the past if I had them, the answer of yes that relates to the two quotes you put are not of a concern. Now there is a concern if they are impairing your vision or you can seem them all of the time. That is how it is explained to me the difference. I had first noticed them when I was a kid when I was sick a lot, laying on the couch or bed and staring at random things. You can have flashing of lights for various reasons also but again it is only a problem if it is happening constantly or for extended periods of time. But an eye doctor can tell what the dark spot is, something like that should not stay for more than 10 minutes or so. You could have a burn, the same thing that can happen if you look at the sun.

Happy New Year all! Hi @Bruninho, me too, 7-Zip v9.20, magic. Hi @UCyborg. I stopped reading 'how many computers' when someone mentioned something like 40+. Here six are used, probably typical for a modern household that likes computing (office, hobby, graphics, media centre, kitchen/portable). I don't travel much anymore but for me that would be the most beneficial use of a smartphone (maps, restaraunts, gas stations). Before smartphones some were using dedicated map devices, not sure these exist anymore, probably need to subscribe too. Hi @NotHereToPlayGames. Agreed desktops are usually superior but laptops are, well, portable. In my younger years many sportbikes (Ninja, GSXR) were used for a speed fix. Now that it's apparent we're all suffering in this polluted fishtank my travels and consumption are minimal. Here same, take advantage of cash-back/point systems, pay in full every month. When SHTF though, cash-back won't matter much. If you don't mind, i'll push one of your turbos out of the way and park my van on your driveway for a few years (good movie). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3722070/ QEX2 v1.10 (full function shareware, donations, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP) was recently installed to convert text documents into *.pdb (Palm Database files) for reading articles in my Palm Tungsten (PDFs converted to text via GNU/Linux 'pdftotext' command). http://qland.de/software/qex2/index.html

... The breakage is due to JS scripts that are not palatable to the web engines that can be used on Windows XP/Vista... If, like me, you have uBlock Origin installed in your browser, just blanket-forbid all javascript on "web.archive.org" via the pop-up: and then reload the culprit WA page: Of course, WA will nag that JS is disabled, but you'll be able to load the bulk of that M$ KB content, in an easy and reproducible manner... I feel very lazy now , especially after a "full" dinner (in my timezone), but the masochist among you can determine which one (or more) of the 26 scripts uBO blocks is responsible for the breakage under "legacy" browsers... FWIW, my screengrab is from 360EEv11 (Chromium 69 based...). Best regards y'all

Yes; that's even better. That link works without having to time hitting "Stop," and even the links within the page are active! M$ probably added some JavaScript and/or CSS to the "new" KB articles that (intentionally?) blocks them on the Wayback Machine, and the latter never adapted. As it happens, I already had the files that this update supposedly installs, and from what I read, it looks like if I hadn't had them, I would've had problems installing updates long ago. So I'm good. But for some reason the update doesn't show up in my update history, so I wasn't sure until I could read the KB page and see what files were involved. Only thing I'm still curious about is how @luweitest was able to view the (new) KB page well enough both to quote it and include a link, apparently unaware that the link wouldn't work for the rest of us! Maybe using NoScript?

I've been seeing this Wayback problem for at least 4 years now. It seems to affect many (most/all?) MS KB pages that were crawled from 2016 onward. I never had much luck with this method, since for me the page load takes several seconds after clicking Stop to take effect. So I must stop it before the page is shown and it was very hard to get the timing right on something I can't see yet and am not sure exactly how long it will take on any given attempt. What I did notice is that over the years MS has changed the format of URLs for their KB pages, and usually the older version of the URLs was from a time before this wayback problem. So fortunately for this particular update there is actually an older crawl with the different format of URL that works, even from SeaMonkey 2.49.2 on XP: http://web.archive.org/web/20150602151315/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/898461 (notice the /en-us/kb/ part, these are usually the better formatted crawls) Sadly for other updates there isn't always an older crawl that will work, and sometimes I am stuck with having to view page source and poke through the HTML tags to find the unformatted content (which is generally still present although not rendered correctly/at all).

They're all at default. Let me know if any relevant pref is missing from those screens. It's something to do with my config or addons. Need to investigate when the time permits. Edit: found the culprit, a left-over from the time when I had dom.serviceworkers.enabled. There was serviceworker.txt file with the following content in the profile folder: 4 https://msfn.org/board/ https://msfn.org/board/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=serviceworker&v=2a962fc5181638719336&type=front {dbf85245-ef53-4136-ba23-fca6bf5b581b} # Deleted it and now navigation on MSFN works correctly.

It's really weird that yewtu.be acts like that. The site with instances says it currently has a version from 2022, but it's been acting like that with older versions as well. But those versions act OK on the other instances. It's supposed to be the same software after all. I've tried that video on yewtu.be on current versions of Firefox and Vivaldi and it works fine there out-of-the-box as well.

For you - but what about other potential users, who would like to use it?
