    Conclusio: At the moment, MSFN is no longer listed on Google. Their index has been destroyed. Bye, bye Google!

    And here the same search string in Mojeek: Looks a little different, doesn't it?

    Have a look at my "results":

    I didn't refer to AI search results. Have a look at the standard search results. Try, for example, 'MSFN Windows XP'! Google officially began rolling out the May 2026 Core Update yesterday (21 May 2026). And that’s exactly where the problem lies! Maybe, in Europe or Germany first! The search results are simply crap.

    Did anyone try to search MSFN threads via Google Search since yesterday? Doesn't matter whether you do it in New Moon or Serpent or any other browsers. You’ll be really surprised. Just type in ‘MSFN’ as your search term! From now on, I won't use anymore Google Search in my browsers as the main search engine. I've had enough of Googling for now.

    @exogenesis Did you really read my last articles carefully? I don't think so. Here is my comment about the legacy custom buttons and what I am doing at the moment: Please note the underlined sentences! And BTW, here is no package of custom buttons or whatever it is you're on about. Since the beginning of 2025, I am a UC.JS script programmer. I develop scripts for use in Mypal 78, Serpent 52 and New Moon 28. And to say it again clearly, custom buttons and its extension is history for me. SuperStop is not a custom button but a webextension. You can get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/superstop/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search If you're still interested in the old custom buttons and you want to stop all GIF animations, then have a look at my article:

    The trick when it comes to using legacy browsers is actually to prevent such a situation from arising in the first place. I used to use extensions like that many, many years ago, but they didn’t really help. The hope that they’ll make a difference is usually far greater than their actual benefit. Many of these tools simply move the junk from the RAM to the pagefile.sys. BTW, I'm actually only familiar with version 7.4.1. Yours must be quite old. Where did you get it from?

    I can confirm that, and more than that. However, I can't confirm that. They are easy to handle and can be directly modified at any time. I additionally use a UC.JS/UC.XUL script manager to get full control of them and to activate or deactivate them if desired. You always see the starting order when it is of the utmost importance. At the moment, I am running 20 UC.JS/UC.XUL scripts in New Moon 28 as well in Serpent 52 without any errors. Most of them are ports from scripts I originally created for Mypal 68/74/78 and indeed self-created from scratch. You can use these scripts to retrofit almost anything with pinpoint accuracy. Retrofitting all of this with extensions is far more labour-intensive and would consume an much larger amount of resources. In any case, my browsers are in perfect condition, so to speak.

    Do we really want this? No. VPN in browsers is a slimmed-down and not really sensible solution. A system-wide VPN is the real deal. I personally avoid those VPN extensions. And Windscribe is unfortunately crap. But TBH, there are dedicated threads here in the Windows XP forum with all necessary information about VPN. Keep in mind that all such browser extensions are old and no longer maintained for legacy browsers! Although updated very regularly, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 are still very old browsers that are not really or not at all taken into account in the development of extensions. And in terms of VPN not at all. In any case, I would not install an extension in my perfectly adjusted and completely error-free browser that is obviously no longer compatible. Either you fix the extension yourself or it goes to the data graveyard.

    Any websites I can’t access on Windows XP Professional SP3 using New Moon, Serpent or Mypal are fair game for my Android tablet. It can gobble any modern rubbish.

    But let’s be honest. That’s the case everywhere on the web these days. Google Chrome is the preferred choice, and a fairly recent version at that. So it’s nothing we wouldn’t have expected. And users actually go along with this nonsense.
  13. AstroSkipper
    I love my uBlock Origin Legacy. You can use it to remove any nonsense in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52, for example, much too big and totally senseless pictures.

    This now appears permanently in the Browser Console because your HTML document is not configured correctly. Ok. No answer is an answer too. I think this here might be a fix for your site inside your header: <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> </head>

    Hello everyone! Today, I changed the title of this thread. My new focus in this thread is on UC.JS loaders and the associated UC.JS scripts. I stopped using custom buttons with the 'Custom Buttons’ extension quite some time ago. UC.JS scripts are far more powerful than the legacy custom buttons. You have full access to the browser’s native (Vanilla) JavaScript. Since the beginning of last year, I have converted all my beloved, self-written custom buttons into UC.JS scripts and written many new scripts myself, initially targeting Mypal 68. Since last month, I began porting them to the New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 browsers. In the meanwhile, I have completely removed the Custom Buttons extension, including all custom buttons, from these browsers. I have reduced the use of other extensions to an absolute minimum and started to replace all missing functionality by UC.JS scripts. What interests me personally here is whether you have installed any UC.JS loaders in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 or Pale Moon, and if so, which ones, as well as how extensively you use UC.JS scripts in general.

    @roytam1 Whatever changes you make with regard to the of threads or CPU cores, I sincerely hope that your SSE2 XPmod releases will continue to work on systems with a single-core CPU. And another little reminder: This now appears permanently in the Browser Console because your HTML document is not configured correctly.

    Since 6/Oct/2025 use native mode and override for google and all ok. ps. Override for google recaptcha, otherwise Ok, that works too. Thanks! But switching to Firefox Compatibility is working too. So I think I am right in terms of my statement in my previous post. If Google discovers discrepancies between the engine used and the Firefox version, including the operating system version, then it will strike.
  18. AstroSkipper
    @roytam1 Google seems to have tightened its algorithms and heuristics. If compatibility mode is set to "Native", New Moon 28 is now classified as a bot and blocked. I could reproduce this behaviour in my installations. However, the captcha to remove this blockage can't be solved in this browser. Luckily, switching to "Firefox compatibility" mode resolves this issue. I therefore suggest to default it to this value from now on. Apart from that, you should now set a SSUAO for Google without any reference to Goanna or Pale Moon, to avoid being immediately flagged as a bot. Google is likely detecting a conflict between Goanna/Pale Moon and a more recent version of Firefox (version 128), possibly in combination with a very old operating system such as Windows XP, concluding this must be a bot.

    Hello everyone! Today, I changed the title of this thread. My new focus in this thread is on UC.JS loaders and the associated UC.JS scripts. I stopped using custom buttons with the special legacy 'Custom Buttons’ extension quite some time ago. UC.JS scripts are far more powerful than the legacy custom buttons. You have full access to the browser’s native (Vanilla) JavaScript and don’t have to contend with constant compatibility issues when new updates from Mypal 78 are released. Since the beginning of last year, I have converted all my beloved, self-written custom buttons into UC.JS scripts and written many new scripts myself. I have completely removed the Custom Buttons extension, including all custom buttons, from Mypal.

    Ok. I have just updated to the New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 releases from 20260502, and I can confirm that Palefill 1.30 can again be installed without any modifications.
  21. AstroSkipper
    ... That question means that you have actually missed my previous post here ; latest NM28 gladly accepts palefill-1.30.xpi as a compatible extension (and doesn't disable it permanently, if already installed) ... Yes, that's right. I definitely missed your post. Thanks for the info! In all honesty, I didn't test on latest St52, as I left that as an exercise for you ; the observed bug with palefill (and other extensions that have strictCompatibility=true inside their instal.rdfs) was caused by ae7c40d, which first appeared in the 20260418 UXP releases (actual buildID dates may be slightly different inside individual apps); that commit was reverted in 12e7d14, which first appears in this weekend's (20260502) UXP releases; since these are platform-wide commits, I have no reason to think that St52 hasn't been "fixed", while NM28 has; if you find otherwise, please let us know ,,, Best regards. I'll soon install the most recent updates and test them.

    I should mention at this point that I started creating own UC.JS scripts for userChrome.js loaders in January 2025. I deepened my knowledge of JavaScript, CSS and a little HTML/XML/XUL and wrote a lot of scripts. My initial target was Mypal 68/74/78. This is all very time-consuming and is one of the reasons why I have made myself very scarce on MSFN since then. All of my beloved custom buttons for the CB extension have been converted to UC.JS scripts. In all three browsers, Mypal 78, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, only a few extensions are still installed. Most additional functions or buttons are generated by these scripts.

    I have ported my UC.JS script "Favicon In Url And Tab Bar", which I originally created for Mypal 78, to New Moon 28 and modified it to show the native brand icon on https://o.rthost.win/ in New Moon 28. It is of course also working in the bookmarks toolbar.
  24. AstroSkipper
    @roytam1 First of all, thanks for all your releases and for trying to fix the favicon issue on your server! Today, I have noticed that you again changed your favicon. But this doesn't work properly. Your favicon is shown in the tab and in the url bar, but not inside the bookmark in the personal toolbar. With your changes on your server o.rthost.win, I now get the following error message: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol. o.rthost.win While connecting to your server o.rthost.win, I was additionally blocked by Google due to allegedly unusual activities. The captcha that you then have to solve is not displayed in New Moon 28. And of course, error messages without end. If looking for good favicons, you have a nice globe inside your source code of New Moon 28: chrome://mozapps/skin/places/defaultFavicon.png. Or maybe, your New Moon icon: chrome://branding/content/icon32.png?
  25. AstroSkipper
    Have you already tested it with the most recent releases of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52? 🤔
