Understood, but @Tripredacus was consulted on this occasion, and agreed that no further action was needed in this case. That will not always be the case of course.

Once again, learning a lot! I don't use R3dFox to watch DRM comment, so I didn't even realize R3dfox had disabled DRM. As you say, shades of Pale Moon. All the niche browsers combined aren't going to force YouTube et al. to abandon it! And I agree that the correct way to deal with the issue is to leave the DRM supporting code in the browser, and just disable it with a pref, which can then be re-enabled by the user if desired. Finally, I do consider VMP evil, and understand that niche browsers like R3dFox will never support VMP. But as long as there are sites that impose DRM but don't require VMP, we should still be allowed to access those sites. All that said, though, I still appreciate having R3dFox on my "ancient" Win 7 PC and will keep using it for the ever-increasing number of Web sites that flummox Serpent.

This thread is about @roytam1's browsers targeting legacy OSes. And that means even browsers under Windows 7 and Windows 8 as they are also legacy in the meanwhile. But I think @Zorba the Geek is looking for a solution under Windows XP.

I can't imagine that pref. doing anything at all if multiprocess move is disabled, so I strongly suspect either it is your imagination, or else you do actually have multiprocess mode enabled. The pref. you cited is not the only way to enable it: You can check whether multiprocess mode is, in fact, enabled by clicking Help / Troubleshooting and scrolling down to "Multiprocess Windows." If the first number is anything but zero, it's enabled. Already done: https://github.com/JustOff/moon-tester-tool (by the author of the Classic Add-Ons Archive himself) and https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/serpent-tester-tool. But to be fair, these extensions are themselves several years old, so they probably need to be updated. ... Any volunteers? @AstroSkipper?

I COMPLETELY agree @VistaLover. By the way, you really did a complete job in your above assessment. I'm also grateful to what @K4sum1 gave us. But I also need to look after my needs. While I hate that we have a Google-fied web, I've stopped worrying about the implications of all of the privacy issues we face. It's not that I disagree with the level of concern, but it's that we REALLY can do nothing about it. I need to perform online banking, watch and help produce videos on YouTube, use WebRTC to voice traffic reports, and take part in Zoom meetings, Google Meet and Teams Meetings, and apply for work; all which basically NECESSITATES providing a good chunk of personal information to proceed. I don't agree with the corporate tactics, but I must continue to function. It was indeed K4Sum1's project, as Pale Moon was Moonchild's. What I feel these visionary types (who admittedly deserve a lot of credit for their work), fail to realize is that those that make up their user base are CONSUMERS or CUSTOMERS. Now Moonchild and his "moonie minions" VEHEMENTLY disagree with that. But customers are not just defined as those providing monetary exchange to a company or corporation for a product. They can be those who provide voluntary stake to a company, or mission. So in this way, those who co-develop alongside Moonchild, those who provide add-ons, those who beta test, and YES even those who simply (and regularly) USE Pale Moon, are indeed customers and stakeholders. When someone creates a project, and it attracts users to the resulting product, such as in K4Sum1's r3dFox, expectations begin to be developed. No matter if these expectations are right or wrong for the userbase to behold, they are real, and the developer needs to contend with them. Those are simply the facts. K4Sum1 provided a way for me to use Windows 8 on an extended basis, and you become reliant on that. When K4Sum1 understandably says, "I'm just not feeling it", it doesn't incite a favourable response among the userbase. Fair? Perhaps not, but it's a very real sentiment. @K4sum1, I genuinely hope you are OK.

The way that I do it, it does not matter if there is a portable version or not - *ALL* Chrome/Chromium-based browsers 'can be made' portable Just replace the "bin" folder with the Supermium files that you want to turn into a portable version. You can start with anything that is already portable (360Chrome, PortableApps, WinPenPack, the list is endless).

Yay! New release! Supermium 138 R7 official release (no more pre-release) has been posted.

Where are you reading that Windows 7 and Vista are not supported?

It does load *VERY* slowly. I would be okay with even taking a quality loss. Watching that image load in "chunks", wait a second, another "chunk" loads, is a bit of an eyesore. It is not my ISP, my download speed is 500 Mbps. Sure, there are faster plans available, but 500 works for everything else. Just not this Kyle of Lochalsh screenshot. My guess is that it is a server-side upload bottleneck.

Oh yeah! That! (weird how you forget that this is meant to target XP, once you leave it behind. I'm more of the mindset that says, "Can it at least run on Windows 7 or 8", as that's a challenge now)

Yes. Install it from the Mozilla Add-ons page! For example the British English Dictionary (the only real English ): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/ Here is a screenshot taken from my Mypal 74.1.4 installation:

Yes, I filed a complaint this morning (it was already "deleted"). Instead it's maybe better to use a PrivateBin instance. https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin

Apparently, pastebin moderation has approved nicolaasjan's yt-dlp log and yesterday's 403 error is now gone: ... Just something to keep in mind in the event of future pastebin uploads (i.e., they might not be immediately visible, for reasons only known to pastebin themselves ) ...

Returned again through an alternative server

Nice work

I was able to load forum.zdoom.org with User Agent Switcher in Supermium 132, but not in New Moon where it keeps cycling on "finished TLS handshake". The site is focused on an old video game. Having it require the latest software to work rubs me the wrong way, which is also consistent with their new versions require modern Windows. It is not essential for me to read this site. But I suspect how this may happen with more servers soon.

I guess things like Cloudflare captchas are more a defence against bots than anything else. A forum operator, for instance, wouldn't want a bot potentially harvesting all their members' e-mail addresses, so it is fundamentally privacy concerns. Something which works in some browsers and blocks the site in others doesn't make sense, though, and we're not talking about ancient browsers here.

Thanks ; that one works ...

Yet another case of site admins arbitrarily blocking less than current User Agent Strings... Yet the site loads when a SSUAO is used to impersonate latest FxESR-140 on Win10x64: general.useragent.override.zdoom.org;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0 Using an extension to impersonate latest Chrome DEV (v144) makes it open in Sm-126, too : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/144.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 PS: Sm-126 by default reports itself as being Cr-132 ...

Doesn't it need the `node_modules` directory? [Edit] Apparently not: Verbose log.

It is portable. Extract the zip file to e.g. `C:\Bin\Node` and add that folder to the PATH.

You need to download chrome.packed-vista.7z and run it with the --no-sandbox parameter. Everything is written there. If this is done, then some updates may be missing, especially the Platform Update.

New release Mypal68 74.1.3 "BUGS IN THIS VERSION 1. xiaoxiaoflood broken 2. DOH is broken, if enable it crashes the browser Pay attention avif format is not added yet, if you get pictures not showed which was fine, then set the version to 91 for the specific site, this is like aliexpress. Added experimental setting "media.ffmpeg.skip_loop_filter" for low end machines, affects h264 and vp8 ffmpeg decoders" https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases

The redfox-old GitHub repo was (also) archived today, but this was probably to be expected; no clue as to why its successor suffered the same fate today ... As for the Eclipse Board , they mention "Temporary maintenance" (stress on "temporary" is mine ) ... That ; and those "proposals" did materialise into a Librewolf-ification of r3dfox that many, myself included, never asked for ... As @Jody Thornton put it, ... and I'll add Vista SP2 to the OS mix above ; yes, close to "stock" Firefox but with the ability to launch on older WinOSes! This is what most site admins expect, this is what most extension authors expect and target... I was never part of the "extreme web privacy" crowd to demand a change of route towards Librewolf (or similar forks); I understand a small portion of the LW code was needed to address a specific r3dfox technical issue, but that is different to incorporating large chunks of LW code "while we're at it" ... As if it wasn't enough to deal with Mozilla "breaking" things (and locking down the browser) with each major version update, an "average" r3dfox user has to deal with "r3dfox-specific" changes, too (ones that not always meet with said user's "approval") ... And my own words on DRM/EME: I found r3dfox maintainer's "obsession" about DRM simply "blown out of proportion"; he goes to extreme lengths to disable EME at buildtime, but the browser itself provides an easy way to disable EME at runtime, if one objects to it for whatever ideological reason... Let's face it; with Google practically owning the Web, they have leveraged the use of their own CDM (Widevine) in most media services, even the most obscure, but still free, ones... Yes, I totally understand the argument about "black-boxed code" etc., but DRM has become a necessary evil in the web era of 2025 and beyond... A lot of focus has been put on the VMP (Verified Media Path) requirement associated with the majority of the prominent/commercial DRM'ed Video+Audio services (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, etc.) as a reason NOT to implement DRM on r3dfox (because VMP entails a very large sum of money, paid to Google, for certifying the browser for VMP purposes), but what about the rest of the lesser known services that don't impose VMP with DRM? Jody's example of https://www.cp24.com/now/ is such a case, there are many others... The whole thing kind of reminds me, in some twisted way, of Moonchild and his own browser, Pale Moon, where he vehemently refused to implement DRM of any kind; but while Basilisk was still his, he allowed the DRM functionality inherited from his FxESR-52 forkpoint to stay enabled; that is, until the point he could no longer shoehorn-in upstream (Mozilla) DRM patches and, one day, DRM in Basilisk was declared such a big Evil that had to be completely excised! (NB: Latest Widevine CDM (a .dll) needs Win8+ to properly function; on Vista/Win7, some wrapper DLLs (e.g. borrowed from the Supermium project ) are actually needed to make it work there (and only on non-VMP services)). I believe so; he probably had a "hissy fit" and decided to "now I'll show you all", or I could be totally wrong and the GitHub repo archival was an inadvertent mishap ... ... You can count me as one (though I did not post in that thread...). Personally, I'll stick to older r3dfox-140.0.4; it will become my new "KafanMiniBrowser" for GitHub; I'm not that concerned about security patches, as long as GH works there (and it'll continue to work until 140esr becomes deprecated), I'll keep using it... In closing, I'm not being entitled or ungrateful towards the r3dfox author; huge thanks from my side for what he has offered to me over the last two years or so ...

Updating the embedded root certificates of Mypal 68 is of course a very good idea and important for using this browser in the future.

You know what, you're absoluteness right! Despite being on Millennium for a long time, I paid very little attention to the primitive operating systems before Vista, those were designed for office slaves to serve as a calculator. Son, we have different priorities in life, it's very obvious. For me, life is all about fun and entertainment, so I chose the only one really high quality media capable OS - Vista. Windows 7/8 took a huge step back in the quality, and Windows 11 is the icon of primitivism.

Unlike in your country Armenia, in France sellers are under certain obligations before the customers, for example: they can't refuse to serve basic needs items like soap, condoms, cosmetics, refrigerators, etc. As for the Chanel bags I was going to buy, unfortunately, they can because they belong to the luxury segment. So no, he can't put deadbolts because he registered as a seller and owns a website that he must maintain in accordance with the French laws. And if we speak about that site in particular, the laws of Quebec, which aren't that different because they are an off-spring from France.

It all went downhill with the fisher price XP, I can't forget the terrible quality of everything in XP, it resampled all audio to the miserable 48Khz! Oh, and take the OS sound for example, LOUD bangs of system notifications made for deaf people. XP had acid icons and the UI made for BLIND people. Windows 11 reminds me of the acid XP colours,

This is of course true, but it is not the only positive effect. Password protection prevents MediaFire's virus scanner from being able to scan these files and therefore from reporting any further nonsense. My uploaded files should only be downloaded by people who trust me and my information. It works according to the principle Take it or leave it! Nobody is forced to download anything from me. And if after downloading my files a locally installed antimalware programme reports files as malicious, they should then be excluded from scanning as usual.

Only 2 of 62 scanners flag the cacert_Updater_Fixed_Recreated.7z file as malicious. That's a perfect result. One of these two scanners is Kaspersky. So again, forget about Kaspersky! It's trash just like Jiangmin.

In April of 2022, I already recreated the cacert_Updater.exe due to false positives generated by some scanners. Read more about it here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183352-proxhttpsproxy-and-httpsproxy-in-windows-xp-for-future-use/?do=findComment&comment=1217288 Strangely, the archive in this post has not been flagged as malicious by MediaFire although it contains the same cacert_Updater.exe file.

Why should I test things I hate and which are already reported elsewhere to be working? So, there is no contradiction at all and nothing is misleading. This thread is not about modern Firefox browsers. So, I fear you are somehow confused and misled as you didn't really follow this thread and my thread about Mypal 68 in its entirety. And BTW, you did nothing meaningful here. One doesn't have to put his two cents in everywhere. Especially if one doesn't need Mypal 68 at all. And as you already stated, you are a Windows 10 user at home. This browser is not meant to be used under this OS. And you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. So, you have no real use for this browser.

I don't think that 99% users won't bother with "editor path" and consider it as broken. The popup clearly tells the user to set a path to their favoured editor via a preference called view_source.editor.path in about:config for editing CSS files by this script. As it is totally self-explanatory, I have not mentioned this. If a path to your favoured file manager was set in line 46 of this script and a path to your favoured editor via view_source.editor.path, then all menu items will definitely work. And you doesn't seem to have understood what the "Import styles" entry is intended for. When clicking this entry, then all CSS styles will be loaded again on the fly. In the case that all styles have already been loaded, then clicking onto it will logically do nothing. But you can check very easily whether this feature is working or not. Copy a new style in the form of a CSS file into the CSS folder while the browser is running. It is not yet loaded. Now click on "Import styles", and the stylesheet is loaded immediately, i.e. without restarting the browser.

Great! Mypal 68.14.6a again with browser.xul. But who or what is xioxui? Maybe, you meant xiaoxiaoflood? Anyway! Development must go on but keeping compatibility as far as possible would be really great. That's why I don't like Mozilla's way of development. New releases, and compatibility breaks without end.

I'm glad to hear it. 1. What search are you talking about? 2. Sorry but that is not true. The UserCSSLoader script is fully working in Mypal 68.14.4b. Here is a short demo: The "Import styles"is only necessary if new styles are added or some styles have been edited. When starting the browser, all styles are automatically loaded by this script. And what do you want to open? The CSS folder? A stylesheet in an editor? The userchrome.css file? Please describe it a bit more detailed! I can't do anything with statements like that. In any case, if all is configured as I described in my instructions very detailed inside the uploaded archive, then all features of the UserCSSLoader script are definitely working. The reported issue was its CSS stylesheet which does not work in Mypal 68.14.5b only. 3. Sorry but that is not true, either. The Custom Buttons extension works fine in Mypal 68.14.4b. At the moment, I have installed 11 custom buttons in this browser. Here is a short demo: For installing a custom button, you click the "Open file" dialogue from the browser main menu, go to the Restart & Purge v2.0 10-12-24 003806.htm file I uploaded for you and click onto it. Everything else goes without saying. If you want to see my most recent Process Mode Toggler custom button in action in Mypal 68.14.4b, then have a look at here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183495-mypal-68/?do=findComment&comment=1275154

Here is a short demo of the Extension Options Menu script: This script is no longer working in Mypal 68.14.5b due to the recent changes. You won't find anything comparable. This is an Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button. Webextensions can't do that due to their restrictions. That's why you can't find any working Add-ons Manager extensions on Mozilla Firefox extensions page. P.S.: At this point, I should mention that this script works in more recent, official Firefox releases but no longer in Mypal 68.14.5b. And I totally forgot to show in the clip that a left-click onto an extension opens its Options. Even uninstalling extensions can be done via this script. In short, a fast Add-ons Manager in the form of a toolbar button.

Hi @feodor2! Thanks for your new release and all your efforts to improve Mypal 68! Unfortunately, I have to report that my beloved Custom Buttons extension is no longer working due to the changes you made in Mypal 68.14.5b. Furthermore, some UC.JS scripts have stopped working. Same applies to some CSS stylesheets. All of them have been working fine in Mypal 68.14.4b but in your new release, they do not work anymore. Although the Custom Buttons extension can be installed, the extension options is missing and when installing some custom buttons, they do not appear. Neither they are listed under the entry Custom Buttons in the Add-ons Manager nor their tool bar icons are shown in the Customize window. The CB menu in the toolbar to create buttons is also missing. The Browser Console shows errors when reading the boostrap.js file of this extension. Try it yourself as you already have the Custom Buttons extension! At the moment, I will stay with Mypal 68.14.4b. Too much is not working in Mypal 68.14.5b.

The last months, I have deepened my knowledge about JavaScript and CSS. In the case of the Process Mode Toggler custom button, one might think that it only toggles the browser.tabs.remote.autostart preference. However, this is not the case. Besides toggling this preference, my custom button displays the current process mode via toolbar icon and tooltip. It doesn't matter whether the button was used for toggling the process mode or not. It always recognises the correct mode. The process mode change is linked to a restart of the browser which is of course necessary for running the browser in the new mode. Additionally, it also adjusts two other prefs that are related to the respective process mode: dom.ipc.processCount and dom.ipc.processCount.webLargeAllocation. Their values can be preset for the respective process mode in the first lines of the button code. So, this custom button is very special and rather unique. In any case, one thing is clear. Webextensions are much more restricted and not allowed to control such features what in contrast UC.JS scripts and legacy custom buttons can easily do, though.

Which two buttons? The clip is about one button, my recently created custom button called Process Mode Toggler. You won't find it anywhere. However, I have recently posted some new custom buttons for UXP browsers and compatibles in my thread "Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations". Given the lack of response and interest, I doubt that the Custom Buttons extension is used very much in general by our members or readers for whatever reasons which I do not really have to understand, though. And with a probability bordering on certainty even much less in Mypal 68 if at all. TBH, I am beginning to think I am the only one using the legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68. Anyway! I developed the Process Mode Toggler custom button actually for personal use in Mypal 68 to test UC.JS scripts, CSS stylesheets, extensions and legacy custom buttons conveniently and quickly in multiprocess mode as well in single-process mode. Especially to test my self-created ones. If there was genuine interest in my custom buttons and it was communicated in this way, then things would be different. But I can't see that so far. The clip I have posted should simply give you an impression of what I do with custom buttons and what can be done at all. No more, no less.

I think it is well known by now that I am a fan of custom buttons. The last months, I created a couple of them for the UXP browsers as well for Mypal 68. Here is one of my latest creations:

Long story short. eBay websites (at least here in Germany) which worked fine some weeks or months ago must have recently changed, and their new layout is not pleasing. The page I quoted runs on my computer at 100% CPU utilisation in New Moon 28, Mypal 68 and even in Thorium. A short time ago, it was almost 0% after loading completely. That's a fact. I opened the same link I bookmarked weeks ago.

Correct! I was not logged in at the time. The eBay link is in the format that you are offered as a simple guest. It actually only contains one real tracking component starting with _trksid, the other two are purely item related starting with itmprp (followed by a checksum) and itmmeta and are not normally filtered by tracking filters. The current URL tracking filter list inside uBO does not even clean _trksid, although it is included but not activated.

Then try, for example, this link in New Moon 28 and have fun : https://www.ebay.de/itm/186679189985?_trksid=p4247815.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1866791899851d87f28e6f894355904105bfee689f19|enc%3AAQAJAAABgEnLatTXWXNAKPRnYtxVTXN2rJD11TMrqd%2Bc4NcqE%2BNGk6ejyqiKoKTZm%2BWiG7rLUKnmQT96yLmgza78VpCainYj%2Fcd7BbF%2F3JO7HSXt2n3iFYDbns8rSMT0idXbcmlMHWKniLK2o5tYYPmM8KWpVo95tWt2nTiQXMqmKRIMl5gAplMB1Ggx6kVqfXRetLAgGAr8tj3qIQFVusM3w2%2FTbqJcbms5AWlMLjBh33IT1VukCGrNibKsT%2F0qkwEeKrJ%2BqRhZKo%2F7BwNoK%2FJG9Di5oc8nbRdyqLnSmvEepcz27hw1plzGYkK3M%2FLS204Xl8d%2B%2BtIjQvpPKMqk7tOaYfRxOxqTc3Phjio2VBw5s0TdzIIxxR%2BteWen1ewuCZGgHTJtZr6usyBSJzML5fV2jMBQPa7DWTgyDixtoE50pm%2FEDlHegBefzvpwr4gPu1TxWSReqif%2BmyZ7w1jSjGESSDRCREZYTF84m9YVByxPQYOWWIrye4jSHSDhla3R%2B%2FoekGKQpA%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4247815&itmmeta=01J7YM3GS0ANMV3XSRX87J8ZNZ

uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by AstroSkipper As I already wrote in my article uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper, uBlock Origin is presumably one of the most important extensions if not the most important one for users of Firefox and Chrome based browsers. Unfortunately, this extension is now only developed and maintained as a webextension. The extension uBlock Origin for our old Firefox-based browsers like Pale Moon, New Moon, Basilisk, Serpent and so on was only maintained and updated separately for a certain period of time. There have been no new updates since version 1.16.4.30, officially released by gorhill in 2021. I am maintaining here the last beta version 1.16.4.31b2 from April 2022, which unfortunately has not been further developed since then. Source: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/pull/330#issue-1206437114. Credits to JustOff and hawkeye116477. This beta worked great in the past , and I therefore think the time has come to end its beta state. I made a couple of changes to this version and created the final release uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31. I have fixed issues, added filter lists, changed and added some compatibility strings, updated all filter lists and so on. Furthermore, I solved the annoyance with the timestamp of some filter lists. Now, the timestamps are shown correctly. And it is very important to mention once again at this point that due to compatibility reasons, I removed the self-update function of the internal list of the default filter lists which are directly available after installation of uBlock Origin. This internal list is no longer maintained or updated by the developers and is unfortunately obsolete. If this outdated list is loaded by uBlock Origin as a supposed update, you are back to the status of that time, and all new filter list implementations would then have disappeared again. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31: As you can see, all filter lists are loaded correctly. The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added or corrected. And here are further screenshots for documentation purpose of some changes: Only the variable %timestamp% instead of the real timestamp was shown in some filter lists. Now, the real timestamp is back. I added release information to the About page. When clicking onto the item "Information", this article here is automatically called up. Changelog from uBlock Origin Legacy version 1.16.4.31b2 to 1.16.4.31: Auto-update of the internal list of all preselected filter lists removed to prevent updating of this internal list by uBlock Origin itself.. The internal list of all preselected filter lists modified to get the real timestamps of filter lists again. The loading issue of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" fixed. Filter list "filters-2023.txt" added. New filter list "filters-2024.txt" added. Filter list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" added, requested by @nicolaasjan. Filter list "EasyList (Optimized)" added, recommended by @VistaLover. Filter list "EasyPrivacy (Optimized)" added, recommended by @VistaLover. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated. For Pale Moon and New Moon, minVersion in install.rdf lowered from 28.0 to 27.0. Thanks to @roytam1. For Pale Moon and New Moon, maxVersion increased from 29.0 to 32.*. Thanks to @Ascii2. Compatibility strings for BNavigator added to the install.rdf file. Thanks to @Ascii2. The updateURL inside the install.rdf file removed as it has no function anymore. Contributors added to the install.rdf file. Old backup files removed from the xpi file. Version number changed to 1.16.4.31. End of beta state. Now, it is a final version. Release information added to the About page. 28-01-2024: I have updated my special mod uBlock Origin from version 1.16.4.31 to version 1.16.4.32. I have made many changes in different areas. Among other things, I took a close look at all language-specific filter lists and replaced or added some of them. Additionally, I added to these lists their flags that are known from the webextension. Furthermore, I have removed abandoned filter lists and, if possible, replaced them with others. In particular, I implemented a brand new, rather unknown, filter list called "Dandelion Sprout’s Anti-Malware List". It has a good resonance and worked great for me. Since my previous release was unintentionally updated to the latest for this browser current webextension in Serpent 55, I have made my special mod by changing the ID so unique that this no longer happens. And so that my mod of the legacy extension is not confused with the official webextension, I changed the name from "uBlock Origin" to "uBlock Origin Legacy". Please note that starting with the version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32, my mod has a completely new ID and a clean install is therefore mandatory. More details about a clean install can be found further below. Here are some screenshots taken from uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32 in the currently most recent version of New Moon 28: As you can see, all filter lists are loaded correctly. The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added or replaced. These are the revised country-specific filter lists with their corresponding flags. I transferred all flags from the uBlock Origin webextension. The About page correctly shows the new name, version and provides a link to its website for information. And now, after revising the way of name change, even the popup correctly shows the new name uBlock Origin Legacy.

See also here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1766 Filter list "MVPS HOSTS" removed as it is obsolete (last updated: 06-03-2021). See also here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2032 Filter list "Phishing URL Blocklist" added to the group "Malware domains", requested by @Amigafever. New filter list "Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List" added to the group "Malware domains". All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. For Pale Moon and New Moon, maxVersion increased from 32.0 to 33.*, tested and confirmed by @Amigafever. Extension's name changed to uBlock Origin Legacy to prevent any confusions with the webextension of uBO. Extension's ID changed to prevent updating this extension by some browsers (for example Serpent 55). Version number changed to 1.16.4.32. 23.02.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.32 to version 1.16.4.33. I fixed the loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" which only occur from time to time. Furthermore, I found some further strings which I edited according to the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. And I added new filter lists to different groups. The "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists are very strong and restrictive. So in some cases, you have to set exclusions when using them. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.33 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. Changelog from uBlock Origin Legacy version 1.16.4.32 to 1.16.4.33: Sporadic loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" fixed. Further minor code editing of strings regarding the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. New filter list "StevenBlack/hosts" added to the group "Multipurpose". New filter list "StevenBlack/hosts extension social" added to the group "Multipurpose". New filter list "Scam Blocklist by DurableNapkin" added to the group "Malware domains". Language-specific filter list "AdGuard German Specific" added. A minor spelling mistake on the About page corrected. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. 12.04.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34. Starting with this version, installing over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher) is completely working again. The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" or "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! From now on, the user will get the internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) automatically. And I added new filter lists to different groups. More details can be found in the changelog further below. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.34 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. Changelog from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34: Auto-update of my internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) newly established. Updating the extension by installing the xpi file over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher) fixed. Sporadic loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" fixed again (hopefully for the last time). Further, alternative links for the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" added. New filter list "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter" added to the group "Annoyances". New filter list "GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter" added to the group "Ads". All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. The update to version 1.16.4.34 should be done as already described, but this time for the very last time. The easiest way is the alternative method: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. 16.04.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. Changelog from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35: Download link for the filter list "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter" changed to get finally again the most recent version of it. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. Download link for uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35: https://www.mediafire.com/file/dfdu6uq0aaua2ty/uBlock-Origin-Legacy-1.16.4.35-special-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file From now on, I won't merge legacy extension and webextension any longer in terms of uBlock Origin. The webextensions of uBlock Origin are moving further and further away from the code base of the legacy extensions. Too much incompatibilities. Starting with the release uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31, I will use the uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 version as a guide for further releases. As the auto-update function for the internal list of all preselected filter lists has already been removed by me for compatibility reasons, I will maintain particularly this list myself, only if necessary, and add compatible and important filter lists or remove abandoned ones. Furthermore, I will implement some little features or filter lists from the webextension of uBlock Origin, only if they are still compatible with the legacy extension, of course.

Finally, an important recommendation to get the new installation of uBlock Origin Legacy working properly and flawlessly. Do not update your existing installation of uBlock Origin by installing on top if you have installed version 1.16.4.33 or lower! This will not work correctly. After uninstalling the previous version (yes, the old version has to be uninstalled ), delete all remnants via about:config and in your profile folder! The remnants of previous versions of uBlock Origin can either be easily removed by the extension eCleaner or of course manually. And in your profile folder, there is a file in the subfolder extension-data called ublock0.sqlite which has to be removed manually in any case. Delete the browser cache, too! If doing so, the updating of the filter lists will work like a charm after installing the new version. All users who have important, individual settings or rules should backup them before uninstalling the extension and cleaning their profile folder. On the dashboard page, there is an item called "Back up to file"" to save all user's settings via uBlock itself. If you only want to backup your custom filters, custom rules or trusted sites, go to the tabs "My filters", "My rules" or "Trusted sites" and export them respectively to a file! And if someone likes it even simpler,, here is the shortest way to update the installation of uBlock Origin Legacy properly: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Uninstall uBlock Origin Legacy and delete the ublock0.sqlite file in your profile subfolder extension-data. Restart the browser and install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy. Restore all settings from your backup file. Furthermore, I found an alternative way to update uBlock Origin Legacy when the user still decides to install over an existing installation: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. This alternative method can only be used for updates with the same extension ID, i.e. from version 1.16.4.32 and higher or from version 1.16.4.31 and lower. The reason for this is the change of the extension ID in version 1.16.4.32 I have performed. From version 1.16.4.34 and higher and only in this version range, installing over an already existing installation is possible again. See further above! But one thing is clear. A clean install is the best method that causes the fewest problems. In any case, we have from now on another uBlock Origin extension for our beloved legacy browsers with the most recent filter lists. Please, test this special version and report here! Any feedback is of course welcome, too! Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

wmic.exe is a WMI command-line program. Maybe you have to set a path to where it is located in your system (path command). I have it twice in c:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\ and c:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\. Usually these paths already exist.

Hello, thanks for reply. I've already added these sites to Trusted Zone of IE and set security level to high. No chance. When you set security level to high Active scripting is disabled and Microsoft Update site can't install plugins meaning MU can't go on. Here a screenshot: https://imgur.com/o4P8B95

Thanks for clarifying! You're right I have to test official binaries on a Windows 7 or 10 PC first to decide whether it is an official ffmeg issue or a problem of your mods. Thanks so far!

Sorry, I thought you are the creator of these new xpmod-sse binaries on https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M;O=D. Do you know who the author of these binaries is? By the way there are a lot of free German VPN or German proxy servers but anyway I need new binaries only for Windows XP. So your link https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows does not help and I think there is something going wrong by building these specific new xpmod-sse binaries so the original coder of FFmpeg can't help. Help of the creator of these specific new xpmod-sse binaries is needed! Thanks so far
