NM27 is based on firefox(gecko) 38, while NM28 is based on firefox(gecko) 52. it is hard to tell which is "better" since results may vary when you have different point of view to review both of them. NM28 supports more newer features so it can survive in current internet environment but it is more laggy when comparing with NM27.

Yeah, Windows 10 is so bad that I cannot describe my experience in sufficient number of words. I actually wonder what Vista haters think of Windows 10. People called Vista bloated when Windows 10 is 1000x more bloated than any Windows version People called Vista unstable and slow when in reality, Windows 10 runs S L U G G I S H L Y even on systems as powerful as yours, just like Windows ME (Memory Eater) and when those people actually ran Vista on slow XP systems with only 256-512 megs of RAM! True, Vista had its issues such as an improper WGA, but yeah, everything was fixed by April 2009 when SP2 came out. What will M$ do to fix Windows 10? Update: Revisited Windows ME and found out that on a proper system with decent specs and all correct drivers installed, it ran buttery smooth (more like Vista on capable enough hardware). Most of the issues in WinME seemed to be hardware related (again like Vista RTM).

issues in front-end side of AF is more buggy than NM27 builds, since it is just for testing back-end code for me while upstream (i.e. rmottola) is actively porting mozilla code changes into AF.

Same thing happens with official Pale Moon. Any Ideas on that ? PS. It involves lists that I already had imported without any problems, then removed them, plus a couple of new ones. @Tangy : If the issue you're experiencing happens on the very popular https://filterlists.com/ site, then that site had a recent revamp/redesign (default dark theme), which might have contributed to the issue... I conducted some short tests with New Moon 28 + uBO-legacy 1.16.4.26, here's what I found: When loading a selected list's own page, e.g. https://filterlists.com/lists/1hosts-mini then, when clicking the "Subscribe" blue button/bar in the right sidebar, try to avoid clicking directly on the literal word, rather aim at an empty spot within that button; then, hopefully, the "add-to-custom-filterlists" dialog will pop-up: Take care...

So you can't even mention you're using a custom OS? Looks like I'm going to be banned for using my own custom copies of Windows then

Removed from Forums as well removed from here too.

It may seem harsh, but upon reading the rules, it does actually seem to break rule #1.d: "warez" would seem to qualify as an illegally obtained, illegally hacked copy of Windows XP, and as such, would constitute usage in a manner that violates the license agreement. In other words, I understand where the mods/admins are coming from here. c

Malwarebytes Free has no real-time protection, but was probably the world’s best PUP removal tool. IDK if that’s still true, since my brain (with a little help from VirusTotal) became very effective against PUPs years ago. I never paid for MB Premium, which has real-time but does not score very high in independent testing (and 3.5.1 isn’t very current).

You really have to answer this one yourself. You ask 50 people, you'll get 50 different answers. You ask 5000 people, you'll get 4999 different answers and two people that give the same answer. I personally use v27 because I have ran benchmark tests and v27 is faster - "mileage may vary" and you should really run your own benchmark tests.

This AF build is directly build with minimal changes for working in windows. you should post an issue on rmottola/Arctic-Fox instead.

what's your discord server?

It may also happen that the list to be imported into Custom is not in the Filterlist and the subscribe button is not available. https://github.com/Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist/blob/master/EU_US_most_common_trackers In this case you need to press the Raw button. copy the URL and import it into UBO. This general method also works in Filterlist. Of course you know it, but since it has been talked about I am posting it for the benefit of other MSFN members.

@VistaLover You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Worked like a charm. Καλε μου άνθρωπε σέ ευχαριστώ. I hope it is right.

... Actually, he was banned for a completely different reason :

new ArcticFox win32 test build is uploaded: http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/arcticfox-27.11.0.win32-git-20201121.7z too many commits to be listed, even github can't show all of them. https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox/compare/a2adb9c100d462fcda892f112be278f82df36b11...112f75dbc913ad1052931b17df0617bcad06d5c6

> the name must be of equal or lesser length Even-lengthed names can often be extended by three. Only one zero byte is needed to terminate, not the up to four including WORD padding byte and following zeroed WORD hint. And odd-lengthed names by two (no padding byte). Some linkers have already zeroed following hints and used them for termination. In this case and when there is no following hint, evens only get one extra char. When no following, odds get none. Some other exceptions also exist, so always test carefully and thoroughly!

You mean specifically for YouTube? I use YouTube Lazy Load . Work well here. [Edit] I see: Warning! Only old YouTube design is supported at the moment. I have protected the "PREF" cookie (which also stores the autoplay toggle) from deletion when the browser closes, with the help of the CookieKeeper extension. (from the classic Add-Ons Archive; caa:addon/cookiekeeper)

j7n said: > Is there a way, via extension or filter, to stop loading any videos at all? > I want to browse and see comments, but watch > exclusively with SMPlayer Try if that old global blocking pref works for you, for html5 audio+video? permissions.default.media = 1/2/3 (1=allow, 2=block, 3=only same domain) Must be created manually on aboutconfig. And may not work in all browsers, perhaps abolished in youngest engines, but not sure. Site-exceptions are possible, same handling as for images, internally stored in permissions.sqlite (except if changed meanwhile, no idea) There exist a bunch more global blocking prefs "permissions.default.xxxx prefs" since old times (incl. very handy "subdocument" for iframes), but Mozilla kept hiding those, and it's hard to find anything on the web about it. In the past the "object" pref was also handy to block globally all Flash-videos, but not just this, it also blocks (or blocked?) plugin-stuff of all other sorts too, incl pdf etc: permissions.default.object= 1/2/3 But overall media/video/plugin prefs have grown into a vast jungle, and all influencing each other too, it's rather a lottery now. .

Yeah at first I installed Windows 10 and oh boy. I absolutely HATE when operating system is doing something I did not asked it to do (like forcing Windows defender down my throat..) Windows defender consumed 2-3gb of my ram, constantly crashed vmware, because it was checking the virtual machine harddrive. Then I disabled it, but next windows update enabled it again. I disabled Windows update via the service. Windows somehow enabled the service again. I downloaded winaero tweaker and finally diabled it. windows then worked for like a month. Then nvidia told me that drivers are no longer compatible with this build of windows 10. I updated to then newest 1709 and windows ENABLED DEFENDER AGAIN!!!! IT did corrupt my work vm and that was the point I decided to install Windows 8.1. Since december 2017 my Windows 8.1 copy is running reliable, fast and nothing has gone wild. Windows update has toggle for manual search and install, window defender can be turned on/off and the UI looks way better than Windows 10 crap. I never fully understood why users agreed with such bul*****. Windows 8.1 was hated for metro, but Windows 10 is 900% worse and nobody cares

Not on play store but Youtube Vanced is worth trying for a better Youtube experience.It's good, free and no ads at all

Hello, this is one of my first topics in MSFN, one of the things i've considered posting is about Windows 95 onboard AC97 audio drivers and inf mods which were needed in some drivers (had to do for some systems). Also to recopilate them as well The inf modded versions are made due to some AC97 driver packages for Windows 95 (notably Realtek and C-Media), deliberated cut support for many chipset AC97 controllers in the Windows 95 version, but supported in the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP versions even if the driver version is the same as the later one, the mod puts the HW support in the Windows 95 version on par with the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP version Warning: Keep in mind some of the chipsets like Intel ICH6/7, nForce4 variants, SiS 965/966 and ATI IXP4x0/SB4x0/600 support both AC97 and HDA codecs, so make sure your board uses an AC97 codec for audio. High Definition Audio (HDA) codecs are NOT supported Advance Logic/Realtek AC97: Supported codecs: ALC100, ALC100P, ALC101, ALC200, ALC201, ALC201A, ALC202, ALC202A, ALC203, ALC650, ALC653, ALC655, ALC658, ALC850 Supported chipset/southbridges: Intel ICH0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7, VIA VT82C686A/B, VIA VT8231/VT8233/VT8235/VT8237, SiS 630/730, SiS 961/962/962/964/965/966, nVidia nForce 1/2/3/4, ATI IXP/SB up to SB600 Tested working on Asrock Conroe865PE (i865PE+ICH5, Realtek ALC850) v4.06 Win95 inf edited to add Intel ICH5/6/7 AC97, ATI AC97, AMD AC97, ALi/ULi AC97 and nForce 1/2/3/4 AC97 ids, original infs only supported Intel ICH up to ICH4, VIA and SiS DL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GMaDH8vQu1Tma7U-I59SQ-pTjjxKmkxz/view?usp=sharing C-Media AC97: Supported codecs: CMI9738?, CMI9739?, CMI9761, CMI9780 Supported chipset/southbridges: Intel ICH0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7, VIA VT82C686A/B, VIA VT8231/VT8233/VT8235/VT8237, SiS 630/730, SiS 961/962/962/964/965/966, nVidia nForce 1/2/3/4, ATI IXP/SB up to SB600 Used infs from AsRock's site, inf edited to add Intel ICH4/5/6/7 AC97, ATI AC97, AMD AC97, VIA AC97, SiS AC97, ALi/ULi AC97 and nForce 1/2/3/4 AC97 ids, original infs only supported older ICH, found in boards like Asrock P4I65G and 775I65G Needs testing, will probably test it against my Asrock P4I65G/775I65G, Gigabyte GA-8S648FX-RZ and DFI K8T800-Pro-Alf DL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16aPsM99XdVGh8X4AK5U8c1TiVm3i52Rs/view?usp=sharing VIA AC97: VIA Vinyl 7.00b claims to support Windows 95, but can't find anything related to it on the folder, may check earlier releases later.

I disregard all the tinfoil hat experts. I have aeroglass installed, and a mean theme. I love it. It is getting better every day.

Picking up where we left off, I'm quoting here from @NoelC: Holy mother of Postulate a couple of ridiculous "givens" like the above, then work into an expose of how Windows is just going to be the world's most successful adware. The givens MUST be true, then, eh? This is unhealthy for the people of the world. -Noel That IS pretty sad. Regarding the description of Win10 as "beautiful," I can't fathom why anybody would think that flat buttons and gray/white blandness all over the UI is somehow beautiful. There's no accounting for taste, but it makes me wonder what sort of plain-vanilla, generic existence they prefer to lead. But by far the worst part of it is that they seem to be OK with foisting that blandness on every Windows user out there. Now that is a significant break from what Windows was like historically. --JorgeA
