I recently updated my user style for MSFN to undo @InterLinked's black background of code sections as well. .ipsQuote, .ipsCode { background: unset !important; }

thats the thing I want to do, by backporting their changes to my not-rearranged tree.

Thanks, just found that as well, it wasn't there when I had checked before. I'm surprised it all lasted as long as it did. It always felt like it was a day away from falling apart.

What a jerk he is! Good riddance!! Anyway, to echo the various messages here, I hope that @feodor2 is alive and safe while he helps save his country! Слава україні! c

Hmm, I think you forgot to attach the screenshots?

I do not use Windows 2000 but afaik MU can be restored there too. Go some pages back and read the conversation between @maile3241 and @WULover.

Yes, but that is a bit more complex. You have to run ProxhttpsProxy on another PC.

The mirror of latest BNavigator, Firefox 45ESR, IceApe, IceDove, K-Meleon 1.5.x/74/76, MailNews 52, New Moon 26.5/27/28 and Serpent 52/55 builds by @roytam1 has been updated -> soggi.org - tools. changelog: - added latest K-Meleon 76 20220319 build - added latest New Moon 27 20220319 builds kind regards soggi

I hope he is alive and somehow surviving.

Hi @maile3241! You know my installation of XP is a very old one. So in the past there was no need to install XP freshly or to reinstall and therefore no chance for me to confirm your solution relating to automatic ActiveX download. But that's what I usually do before posting. Anyway I have updated my guide and linked your solution with reference to you. As we have seen some posts above it works and that's what matters.

Doesn't mean a dang thing! Or very limited at best. GitHub has a section to show green squares for how "active" the author is. Feodor2's projects have always been sparse and have historically gone several weeks between "contributions".

No, thanks a lot. I'm just thinking about your connections coloured green in ProxHTTPSProxy's log window. I assume it is caused by running XP in a VM but I need a confirmation of someone using VMs too. And the winner is @maile3241

I had that too, and @NotHereToPlayGames told me how to fix it here. HTH.

We shall not assume the worst , their multiple timeline in universe , he might be a Civilian not a Army guy [ My heart is a civilian] , he might have said it as Ukraine not letting male between 18 to 60 to leave. Pray for him

Yes, doesn't look like there's a lot of webcompat related changes yet. I hardly need benchmarks to tell it leans towards the slower side. But these browsers are more about the ability to support specific extensions to me. I'm lost without Tab Mix Plus and ColorfulTabs in other browsers. Slim and light browser cannot possibly handle the complexities of modern web. Assume the worst. I hate to break it to you folks, but this is war and he could be dead already. Or he comes back disabled, with a PTSD and so on.

I put the code of the problematic file of the problematic web app at work in https://babeljs.io/repl and got the modified code, which I saved on the server side and sure enough after reloading it in the browser, it was suddenly compatible once again! If I remove ", not ie 11, not ie_mob 11" from the TARGETS field, then I get the code that also works in Internet Explorer 11. You'd need to have something like that locally which would process the code before it was handed to browser's JS interpreter.

Thanks, I'm trying it out locally, and yeah, I think the ?? and ?. stuff is really getting me, StackOverflow is still broken, but otherwise seems to be working at least as well as before. About those last two things that "can't" be polyfilled.... they CAN be transpiled! Take a look: https://javascript.info/polyfills Transpilers A transpiler is a special piece of software that translates source code to another source code. It can parse (“read and understand”) modern code and rewrite it using older syntax constructs, so that it’ll also work in outdated engines. E.g. JavaScript before year 2020 didn’t have the “nullish coalescing operator” ??. So, if a visitor uses an outdated browser, it may fail to understand the code like height = height ?? 100. A transpiler would analyze our code and rewrite height ?? 100 into (height !== undefined && height !== null) ? height : 100. So I think what we really need to do is have this extension auto-transpile this bleeding edge JS into "vanilla JS" that "any" normal browser can run. This, in theory, should solve not just the issue but probably a large number. My understanding is that transpiling something is something the *web developers* are supposed to do before packing their JS into the actual website source, so unlike a polyfill which runs in the browser itself. That said, I'm sure it's possible, but not sure how slow it would be if feasible. Thoughts, anyone?

So MCP pushed GRE (Goanna5/PM30) to their repo, with crazy huge directory structure rearrangements. tracking is still ongoing in roytam1/palemoon-source-tracking/commits/tracking-gre but for now I'm exhausted while trying to figure out how files are moved.

Not even that - but only the *latest* versions of those browsers! (Technically, I'm using "Chrome", but a 3 year old version). Maybe this will be a wakeup call to the WWW: stop using useless JS libraries you don't need and write all your damn code yourself. If you can't understand it, and you don't know what it does, and you don't know why you need, then don't use it!!! This has never failed to serve me well as a webmaster. And of course, none of my websites randomly break. jquery is pretty much the only JS library I ever use, and even then, only on pages that actually "need" JS. Everything else on top of that, I write if I need it. And if I don't need JS, I don't use it. It's not "simplistic", it's called "resilient progressive web development".

As long as their sites work in the latest versions of Edge and Google Chrome (and Safari for Macs), that's all the authors of a lot of sites care about now.

File complaints with all these websites. They need to know that blindly using breakage-causing JS code is NOT okay! I complained to GitHub and they reverted enough breakage that it now works in Chromium 70 again though New Moon 28 is still broken. Though it's a losing battle for sure... as of a few days ago, GitHub file uploads are now once again broken... it's like whack-a-mole, you polyfill a "bug" in their JS, and soon enough, a new one crops up again that breaks the whole damn site again. What we really need is some of extension to replace all the JS on websites with the JavaScript they used two years ago, pulling from the Internet Archive or something. That might actually work - scrape the JS for sites that are broken now, using old JS, and see if they start working again... Maybe we can get a list of changes going and replace the diffs we see.

A guide to install Microsoft Update manually Here is a complete guide to install Microsoft Update in Xp: First you need to download these files: http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/mucltui.cab http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/mucltui_en.cab http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/muweb.cab Replace at mucltui_en.cab with your language. For example: mucltui_de.cab for German. Open the archives. Copy muweb.dll from the archive muweb.cab to system32. Copy mucltui.dll from the archive mucltui.cab to system32. Copy mucltui.dll.mui_? from the archive mucltui_? to system32. Register only the 2 files muweb.dll and mucltui.dll with regsvr32. Configure IE: Add the pages http://update.microsoft.com http://www.update.microsoft.com and https://www.update.microsoft.com to the Trusted Sites and set the security level to high. If it is not available, click Reset first. Call up this page now and follow the instructions: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en If the Check for Updates button doesn´t work, close IE and click on Microsoft Update in the start menu. Don´t forget! You need httpsproxy or ProxhttpsProxy otherwise you will get error 0x80072EFF! Only tested under XP! Have fun trying.
