About the xiaoxiaoflood script loading method in Mypal 68.14.8b
With Mypal 68.14.8b, @feodor2 has unfortunately retired the best script loader forever. The Nuchi-Sporif script loading method as well as all other Nuchi based script loading methods no longer work in this Mypal 68 browser and logically in upcoming releases. This means that the first three script loading methods from my ranking list are no longer available in Mypal 68.14.8b and up. @feodor2 recommends the xiaoxiaoflood script loader from the seventh and last place of my ranking list for users of xiaoxiaoflood's stuff. I have therefore taken another look at this method in Mypal 68.14.8b. As already mentioned, I am currently using the Alice0775 script loading method in this browser, which I put together, fixed and modified myself. It has a good compatibility with existing scripts comparable to the Nuchi-Sporif script loading method. Of course, I first adapted my scripts to the JavaScript changes made in Mypal 68.14.8b. I now have all my important scripts, 24 in total at the moment, running successfully with this script loader. Due to a further, small modification I made to the Alice0775 script loader, all my scripts are again located in a chrome subfolder called Scripts. BTW, more than half of these scripts were created by myself and written to be as compatible and universal as possible.
Now to xiaoxiaoflood. I downloaded the version of this script loader @feodor2 recommends on this GitHub site: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases/tag/68.14.8b. After setting up the xiaoxiaoflood script loader in a fresh installation of Mypal 68.14.8b with a brand new profile, I copied all my 24 scripts into the chrome folder. Unfortunately, only less than half of them were ready to use after starting the browser. The xiaoxiaoflood script loader can't do anything with my most important scripts , which in contrast work perfectly with every other script loading method . Besides the already mentioned Alice0775 script loading method, also with the Aris-t2/Ardiman-Endor8 or pure Endor8 script loading method. Furthermore, it reports in the Browser Console that certain variables such as gClipboard are not defined and does not understand some JavaScript commands such as style.backgroundSize and so on at all. In addition, problems with scripts that cannot be loaded are not logged in the Browser Console. No information! Nasty! All in all, the xiaoxiaoflood script loader failed my test once again and cannot be recommended by me for general use. All other script loading methods are much better. To be unbiased and fair , I also tested this method with xiaoxiaoflood's own scripts. These special but very few scripts basically seem to work fine. But when using external scripts with this method, the xiaoxiaoflood version of the rebuild_userchrome.uc.js script, for example, is not able to handle them correctly. It is able to disable non-xiaoxiaoflood scripts but can't enable them again. Spoken for me only, I do not consider most of the very few xiaoxiaoflood scripts on offer to be particularly useful. The xiaoxiaoflood version of the extensionOptionsMenu.uc.js script, for example, which is actually a great one, is far behind the version I use which provides much more functionality. One thing is clear. There are much better scripts available outside the xiaoxiaoflood world. In general, the following should apply to a good script loader: It should be able to successfully load as many scripts as possible, taken from different sources. Needless to say, these scripts have to be compatible with the JavaScript engine of the browser used.
Conclusion: The xiaoxiaoflood script loading method has very poor script compatibility for scripts that have not been written specifically for this method, does not understand some standard variables, also does not recognise some JavaScript commands and does not log successful respectively unsuccessful loading of scripts in the Browser Console. The latter is particularly annoying when scripts cause problems and the cause needs to be investigated. An error message would be desirable and helpful. This script loading method can therefore not be recommended for Mypal 68 as a general script loading method. Especially not when much better script loading methods are available. However, for those who only want to use xiaoxiaoflood's stuff, it is ok. For all others, the xiaoxiaoflood script loading method is definitely not to be recommended.
