I use Supermium now exclusively, but had this issue in "new" Opera before. I see now one way it differs from history. If I had visited X,Y,Z in the same tab, I can only see Z on the list. There is no way to recall X or Y without opening history.
-
Why is it that the Recently Closed Tabs feature under the down-arrow and the address bar don't show me the last addresses I visited? This is probably so in all Chrome variants and Google is employing some "wisdom". If I open Hamburger -> History -> History, the last entries are not the same as shown under Recently Closed Tabs. The way I see it, this recent exists to save me from using the Hamburger menu. Also, if I have visited example.com/a example.com/b example.com/c in this order, A may persistently show in the address bar auto-complete even though I haven't opened it for some time.

The problem with the new topic lasted for a really long time, and only fixed now. I remember being unable to post on the Microsoft Office forum months ago. The Like button was used by a group of people with a leader whose name begins with "D", but they don't seem to be kiddies. I only use the like button generally when I've read what was said to me and don't want to reply anymore. While everything works, I'm keeping Supermium 132. Don't fix what isn't broken.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
j7n replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I always thought this browser was for the tinkerer who expects it to break sometimes and then troubleshoot and revert. Are there any consumer level users for New Moon perhaps in China? I had a few extensions that I tried to transfer from Firefox 27 (looks the same as New Moon) and they gave me troubles. I don't remember what I did inside the files and after 3 out of 4 loaded. -
My system seems to be more stable with "Accelerated 2D canvas" set to disabled. I am not sure what it does exactly if anything in this version. I have an issue with the video driver weirdly glitching in Windows GUI on Server 2008 R2, such as scrollbars flashing, and I suspect this acceleration triggers similar problems. Acceleration seems to be completely superfluous and an opportunity for webmasters to cram even more bloat into sites. Not sure if I have completely disabled acceleration with this setting alone. New Moon's acceleration is already off for me under Advanced > General. I noticed a non-intuitive behavior with Delete Browsing Data -> Last hour. It does delete the history as expected. But if I have also visited other sites within the hour, their login cookies will get deleted too. They apparently get updated to the last visitation time, which falls into the period of deletion.

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.

Where do the SSL certificates in New Moon come from? I have never had to add missing certificates in this browser unlike other old browsers. -
I found the Open With extension by Geoff Lankow for Chrome, but it is now old and doesn't work in Supermium ("Specified native messaging host not found."). I tried to install it in Opera 93, but it says that it requires Python to work, which is too much. Without it, nothing launches when I add a preset. https://chrome-stats.com/d/cogjlncmljjnjpbgppagklanlcbchlno?hl=en I use the extension by this author in New Moon. There I can add any program I want. If such a customizable extension doesn't exist, then I will accept it. What is wrong with this website? https://forum.zdoom.org/ In Supermium it gives the error: ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. In New Moon it doesn't open with the error "the authenticity of the received data could not be verified". It does open in Opera 93. It is possible that I have disabled something related to HTTP/2, but nothing releated comes up. Have we moved on to new basic HTTP protocol that this site have embraced?

I have changed the user agent and get big Google again now. Another downside of the new lightweight Google is that I can't see the target URL where I am about to go in the status bar. All URLs go through Google for spying but they show the real url until one clicks on the link. I also found that I need the page zoom one notch down with the new big one. -

Google just switched to a simplified style for search results in New Moon. It likely is based on my user agent or perhaps other properties. The font is large, the page displays faster, but it lack navigation to a specific page of results with only a Next link showing. -
Dancing? I previously said: "I want to download YouTube with YouTube-DLP. The Open With preset has to be able to save various command-line parameters." So I want to run program: youtube-dl.exe With arguments: -f 299/137/298/136/22/bestvideo,140/bestaudio[language=en]/bestaudio --fixup never --restrict-filenames --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=default,-tv_simply" -o "t:\working\%(title)s- %(id)s .%(ext)s" What good is giving such specifics when tomorrow I may change the arguments.

Oh they have an extension for each individual program. With this philosophy you would soon drown in browser plugins. Open With in New Moon allows you to enter the name of any program you want in the same extension.
-
I am not an extension programmer. Hoping something already exists that is meant for Supermium and works in as similar way. The program I want to call is not that relevant. I also want a media player on the menu for the occasional direct link stream.
-
Give an exa,mple of a good extension I can install in Supermium. I want to download YouTube with YouTube-DLP. It is very sluggish with New Moon that I use normally. The Open With preset has to be able to save various command-line parameters.

Is there an equivalent of the "Open With" extension in Firefox, which allows to pass an URL to programs from a menu?
