  1. they tried hard to make me laugh :) "unable to cherry-pick"? actually not, unless they never release any new source. since they're still releasing source with every new versions, I can still make a diff and figure out which part of changes should be in same part. yeah they did that do throw me back to pre-VCS "stone age", but it is NOT the end.

  2. Whatever happens from here on out, I will continue to support @roytam1 in whatever he decides to do with his browsers going forward. MCP seems hell-bent on destroying anyone and anything that tries to get in the way of their 'vision' for their browsers. The way I see it, they're on a road to self-destruction...their browsers are going to fade further into irrelevance, while people will continue to follow Roy and many others and support their hard work. MCP and their browsers are going to become more and more the reflection of everything they were once fighting against, everything they had tried so hard not to have their browsers be or to themselves become. It is a shame that they could be so arrogant not only to XP users but users of the 'regular' Pale Moon and Basilisk, so greedy about the source code, and so selfish in not allowing people to take their work and build upon it. And yet, without Mozilla they would have had nothing to build from, no starting point to begin with. They were (and are) nothing without Mozilla, much as Atlas in Teen Titans was nothing without the mechanic who did maintenance (see the episode "Only Human"). When the mechanic abandoned Atlas he was battered into spare parts...and as people abandon MCP and/or if Mozilla themselves should see fit to abandon them, they too will be battered & broken. Thank you, Roy, for all of your hard work--I appreciate you and your efforts VERY much. It ain't over 'til it's over!

  3. I'm not sure whether @roytam1 or other members here became aware, BUT: The story thus far: 1. MCP, effectively spearheaded by M.A.T.'s actions/decisions, forced the Centaury & MyPal forks into brutal extinction (sudden death I'd call it in sports terms...) 2. "Some person" (perhaps one supporter of those killed projects?) "flagged" M.A.T.'s GitHub account: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=220044#p220044 The story from now on: Chapter: Revenge of the enraged beast(s) 1. The UXP platform in its current form shall be NO MORE; the GitHub mirror of UXP (infrequently updated by M.A.T. after major Pale Moon releases) https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP has been hidden/removed... 2. The main UXP development repo, hosted on Moonchild's own Gitea instance, has been archived and moved to https://repo.palemoon.org/mcp-graveyard/UXP 3. Development repos of applications Pale Moon and Basilisk have also been archived in https://repo.palemoon.org/mcp-graveyard/Pale-Moon https://repo.palemoon.org/mcp-graveyard/Basilisk 4. The development of the "new" Platform (tentatively named "Platform Codebase"), as well as that of the "new" Browser application pushed out by MCP (rebrandings are to be announced) WILL FOLLOW THE PATTERN OF BINARY OUTCAST APPLICATIONS, i.e. all code repositories SHALL BE PRIVATE (like the Interlink and Borealis Navigator ones are currently ), Source Code will only accompany the releases of executable forms (i.e. binaries). https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=220136#p220136 (I don't want to publicly voice my opinion here, as, most probably, forum filters will censor it... ) The above effectively puts the New Moon 28/UXP and Serpent 52/UXP forks out of commission, and with 0 hopes of a new fork based on future MCP iterations... A most sad day, indeed...

  4. Updated v9, v11, v12 and v13: - Updated the New Tab (Added JavaScript). You can change the values of the shortcuts while being in the browser now. It was my first time using JavaScript, hope it works well! - Fixed a bug related to the password saving and autofill options. Some modifications to the "chrome.dll" file related to the ".cn" entries and the Search Engines made the mentioned options to break the Gmail login page. Cheers.

  5. Yes, it would be enlightening for him to witness a real terrorist attack... Also, in my opinion, he has a narcissistic personality disorder. If the Pale Moon team allows him to go on like this, I fear that even the few people that still use this browser will leave.

  8. I just wanted to make a point, not exactly about this specific case but in general. IN the MPL v2 you have: The question is with the definition of the source code To me it is clear that as soon as a git or svn exists it is by far the preferred form of the code for modification, so by definition of MPL, the source code. Simple tarballs are clearly stripped from useful commit information and are thus still usable but less preferred for modification and are not the full source. It was not a concern back in the days where people were not using subversion system. At this point of info stripping why not obfuscate the code in the tarballs? I used to consider that binary were source releases that were just a little difficult to work with. I think if a GIT exists, then a tarball is not the form of the work preferred for making modifications.

  10. To each their own, of course, but I personally have ZERO use for a "dark theme" for my web browser when my computer has five widescreen monitors and a web browser isn't the "only" software I use. I personally find it UGLY to have one monitor with a dark-themed web browser while other programs on other monitors look NORMAL. All five of my monitors do have their contrast/brightness at only 40% so it's not like the neighbors are calling, "Hey, turn off your computer! I can't sleep with all that brightness!". I have considered a "toggle" switch that would switch between two XP themes, one for you "vampires" and the other for us "normal" folks. But I haven't dug deep enough to see if that is possible, some form of "toggle" that would sit down in the lower right corner of the status bar.

  11. I don't know why the slider isn't being shown, but you should still be able to use it even though you can't see it. Click on the volume control icon, keep the mouse on top of it, and use up/down arrow keys on the keyboard to control the volume. Works for me, at least. Maybe I'll investigate this further if I have time, but no promises since the workaround is easy enough. Also, to this latest Moonchild nonsense. I would really like to hope that this is just a knee-jerk reaction and they'll eventually come to their senses, but at this point that hope is pretty slim...

  12. @NoBuggingPlz - Please try my v12 and v13. This v12 should keep cache and cookies between sessions, I don't recall if this v13 clears cache on exit or not. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gimydyfv57rr2fp/360ChromePortable_12.0.1247_rebuild_4.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fk69d5jhc2vwyg/360ChromePortable_13.0.2206_rebuild_4.zip

  13. Sticking to Password and security topic - back when I finished university and went to my first full-time job, in an outsourcing company doing stinky stuff for the very big IT company we love to hate here for dropping support for older applications, messy documentation, dying domains etc... with a lot of other newcommers like me... needless to say, the sense of humour in the office was between high-school hoolies and conscript barracks, so we were so below the floor we could scare people knocking at it from below. And rotation was so high, that having a year-long experience in this company was considered long experience. But that's the reality of neo-colonial slave meant to make money for his overseas masters. Anyway, you get that the atmosphere was highly 'professional'. But, still, the thing we were working on was highly confidential - which makes me laugh right now, but back then, we could not bring mobile phones to the room, the windows were without knobs, so we could not throw out a device with unpublished code and transfer it via the window, and all of that in the office with full access to unrestricted internet, unblocked USB ports and so on. The internet was THAT secure, we were being trafficked via clients proxy and going via his AD domain, so our IT supervisors could not even track us, as we were seen in reports as only going through client domain, so when the request came to reduce usage of Facebook and Youtube in local network, we were secure. Did I say every newcommer had admin rights from the start (remember, mainly people with zero-to-none professional experience XD), because we had to run 60-lines-long Powershell script and signing it or walking any other way around was too much for our supervisors XD Then, as said, we had domains in client account.... ehem... and some further repositories and systems were locked with extra smartcard verification, so at peak point we had 80 people on project with only three people having access to crucial tracker due to authorization bug, who could not upgrade their PCs as any change would have broke it. Did i mention, that Smartcard were flying from client's HQ, so when we finally received them... they were malfunctional and we had to wait one month more. With all this security, we had a problem on a client's side-project, that, surprisingly, required to take as much people as possible for a weekend overtime job, mainly because our main progress-tracker was an excel file overloaded with VBA macros, which was located on a shared drive with +-5 second ping and took 5 minutes to save. If you still didn't grasp what the company I was working for, a hint - major competitor in cloud applications and office suites, both now and then. And, a surprise, around 90% of people hired, or rather, caught for this side-project either had no account in clients Account Directory or were waiting for having access granted, but oops, client's office is closed during weekend. And we ended up with our team lead posting his login and password on whiteboard. And y'all had it right, I had the moral high ground, having proper, accessfull AD account from the start and sharing it with noone at all.

  14. When my battery died in the past, i was using for some time this program to save/restore CMOS settings. I made a batch file to compare with a previous backup and restore if there is a difference. CMOS.zip

  15. They don't think too highly of Tobin :--). I had to laugh at some of his posts, he bullies constantly then someone said something nasty back and he acted like an innocent victim. There must be a psychological term for that. Whatever his skills in coding he would drag any organization down as a pr nightmare just as he's doing to pale moon.

  17. The post-it notes would be dated on when I added the company to my "watch list". The IT Manager was convinced that it was a hidden code for basically only three passwords required for various network applications. He thought that if I put all of the pink post-it notes in chronological order, that was one password. Put all of the yellow post-it notes in chronological order, using only those with one text string, that was another password. For the next couple of weeks, all 20 or so of us that were in that meeting put random post-it notes anywhere and everywhere. The receptionist always brown-bagged her lunch and always used a post-it note whenever she left something in the refigerator. She wasn't in the meeting but it got to the point where she would no longer put her NAME and DATE on her refrigerator items (a prerequisite by the cleaning crew), but was putting things like "The password is 'pAsswOrd' ".

  20. So I am not only who prefer to have slower system for main Windows 98 setup. My 800mhz Pentium 3 EB with tnt2 is my main choice to 98 over Pentium 4 system that I use to xp for most of times. Maybe I just like Pentium 3 one more. I also got presario 5000 with 820mhz celeron cpu as backup. only time I got virus on Windows 98 was from old infected cd with cih aka spacefiller virus. Luckily 815 chipset is not compatible with it bios erasure payload so only had to recover hdd. Now I scan files with Clamwin before copying anything off my old cd disks. Also few years ago I did go and indeed test claim if you use Windows 98 today you will get infected easily. To test I downloaded lot of malware, adware, worm and spyware samples starting around 2006-2018 or so. I did test on real hardware too. Most of them did not even execute under Windows 98, some had illegal process, some crashed virtual memory manager and funniest were that said "This program requires newer version of Windows" so obsolence can be security too. Some did run but all were removable using clamwin or spybot s&d and consider I had to SEARCH to find samples of newer malware that run under Windows 98 for long time. If I cannot find them intentionally lot wont likely get them in to their machines either

  21. I currently use my v12 build 1247 rebuild #3 as my default web browser - a rebuild #4 is due out within the next day or two due to two missing no-harm-done closing-parentheses found while working on a v11 rebuild. I am in-process of releasing a v11 build 2031 rebuild #1 but it is still "beta" at this stage but will also be uploaded within the next day or two. Unsure which of the two will become my overall preference (https://www.diffchecker.com/ does not seem to work in v11 but I have not debugged as of yet).
