  1. In NM the redirect link appears only after clicking on the link (or copying). Of course the HTML is different coming from the server, the anchor element contains different parameters. I am sending a Firefox/140 agent to get the full page from Google instead of a simplified version. It was a surprise to me that the page still isn't completely full doing this. I don't think is needed to jump in and "defend" either browser.
  2. Where are these OpenSSL DLLs usable in apart from a YouTube downloader? Legacy applications that I have all depend on libeay32 and ssleay32. And do they support new algorithms to justify their much bigger size?
  3. There might be a "JavaScript hook" that sneakily overwrites the link after it is clicked. Initially the true link is displayed on the status bar in New Moon. In New Moon the link anchor has the parameters: href (true link), data-ved, data-sb (google's redirect) In Supermium the parameters are: href (true link), data-ved, ping (google's redirect) It seems that Chromium is able to do something with "ping" that older browsers are not, perhaps connect to Google in parallel with the target. I didn't even know you could write such custom values into HTML.
  4. I just noticed that when I copy a link from Google search using Supermium, I actually get the target link. But if I copy with an old browser, such as New Moon, I get the redicted link managed by Google. Why is it that Supermium has access to the true obfuscated link?
  5. The latest update to yt-dlp works out of the box again with an "ios downgraded" method. And there no sleep. They recommend it now, but there isn't. I didn't know you could use those conditionals [height<=1080][ext=mp4] which would help with changing format numbers. Can you point me to instructions about how to use a "JS runtime" with yt-dlp on Win Seven? Is this an exe I drop or is there more to it?
  6. It stopped working as of today with 403 Forbidden after receiving a little bit of data. From the post above I can use this. It gives me a VP9 video. Is VP9 the only option? --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=default,ios,-android_sdkless;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native]+ba[protocol=m3u8_native]/b[protocol=m3u8_native]" The format codes I previously used with HLS don't work anymore.
  7. There is a program called "DVD Audio Extractor" that can rip only sound from video DVDs in a user-friendly way. Of course a number of DVD video rippers exist too, and you can demux the output to get only audio if you want. It is possible that the disk drive was worn and stops reading weaker disks first, or that the DVD part of it had failed specifically.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Is there an equivalent of the "Open With" extension in Firefox, which allows to pass an URL to programs from a menu?
  23. The hate for the Ribbon toolbar died quickly. I remember how initially there was even a paid add-on to put a normal toolbar into Office. I don't even have Office 2010; it is fairly chunky. My operating system is Windows 2008 R2, so those updates are not applicable. Well, I hope it can at least recover some text that I can reformat if needed. My only other alternative is Office on a Xiaomi smartphone, which can open X and save to another format. I don't even get how that program could be used productively.
  24. I had a compatibility pack v4 from 2009 and was unable to open this example file. Registering ole32.dll didn't resolve the problem. The event log has a report saying that Wordconv.exe had crashed every time I try to open a DOCX. Unfortunately on my system crashes are silent like that. Installing this older compatibility pack v2 from 2006 was sucessful. I can now open the files I have on hand including this test file with my avatar. I do remember this pack v4 actually working because it is the only one I have. But that was on 32-bit WinXP. I was not able to open a new thread in this forum, which I initially wanted to do. I remember that was discussed some months ago. The error from the forum was "something went wrong".
  25. I have installed Office 2000 SP-3 and the XML format compatibility pack for opening DOCX and XLSX files. The operating system is 2008 R2 x64. Lately this setup cannot open anything. I remember it worked in the past, but I used it very rarely. "There was an error opening file." from Microsoft Word. Has the DOCX format changed recently or is my installation broken? What is the talk of updates here? Can I get a new version that works?
