I think I know the reason: the setting you shared (dom.moduleScripts.enabled false) breaks uBlock Origin. It also crashes the browser eventually (I think it's because of uBO as well). Without that setting set to false, I can use uBlock Origin without any problems (But the version is 1.42.4, while it's 1.44.4 in my main PC's browser Firefox 105). Addition: Oh wait, it's because Mypal doesn't support auto-updating of extensions and I installed it before the update. If I reinstall it, then it should work fine too. Unfortunately, you are on the wrong way. It's more hardware related. As I already said, I will post about these problems very soon. @SC7601! I have to correct my statement. You are right! I have retested uBlock Origin 1.44.4 in Mypal 68 and can confirm your observation. Setting the variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled to false breaks the most recent version of uBlock Origin 1.44.4 in Mypal 68.12.5b. This setting was helpful in getting the new interface of VirusTotal to work in previous versions of Mypal 68. But in the latest version, Mypal 68.12.5b, it has no positive effect anymore and has become useless. Therefore, I recommend to set the variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled back to its default value of true. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

But, as I posted above, ImTranslator is an interesting extension for translating and offers many features. Each to their own! I love the good and simple ones, and that means in my case Simple Translate.

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
@SC7601! Using ProxHTTPSProxy with browsers that already support TLS 1.2 or 1.3 is not the purpose of it. Generally, these TLS proxies are needed to access Windows Update or Microsoft Update, for example. Or, for updating programs that require the old Internet Explorer. Or, for email programs that cannot set up such connections themselves, e.g. eM Client or Eudora, and so on. But, all this has nothing to do with the fact that you actually just wanted to test my software package on a time-period correct system. Didn't it? BTW, you can test it with browsers already supporting TLS 1.2 and 1.3, too. Anyway, it was your suggestion! Cheers, AstroSkipper- 922 replies

You're welcome! OT: BTW, what about your offer weeks ago? uBlock Origin is my favourite ad blocker extension. Unfortunately, there is a real problem with its compatibility, Therefore, I can't use the more recent ones in Mypal 68 on my old system. I'll post about these problems very soon. The extension Simple Translate is easy to use and works perfectly. Of course, I know the extension ImTranslator as well. I use it in the New Moon 28. The quality of the translations is better in Simple Translate, though, and ImTranslator is much too bloated for my taste. Basically, ImTranslator is an interesting extension for translating and offers many features. Anyway, to each their own! I recommend Simple Translate: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/?do=findComment&comment=1225646 The advantage of Adblocker Ultimate is that it works like a charme in Mypal 68 from the very first, and its most recent version is compatible with my system. BTW, most of the ad blocker use the same filters like Adguard's lists, Easylist, Fanboy's lists, and so on. uBlock Origin does it, too. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

@ward201185! Such comments without any indication of which operating system you are referring to are useless to other readers. Only the initiated can see that you actually mean Windows 2000. On the subject of dummy certificates in ProxHTTPSProxy's Certs subfolder, a brief clarification: Cheers, AstroSkipper

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Just a reminder! Any changes to an installation of ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy, especially the installation of a new CA certificate, or severe crashes of the system while one of the proxies was running in the background, always requires a reset of all dummy certificates in the Certs subfolder. The word "reset" at this point means deleting all certificates manually that have been created in the Certs folder. The next time the proxy is started correctly, all necessary certificates will be created again when the corresponding websites are accessed. Renaming or saving the Certs folder is completely unnecessary. Cheers, AstroSkipper- 922 replies

This is an old, well-known error! For more information: BTW, it doesn't matter whether XP or Vista. Getting the error code 0x80072f8f while accessing the WU/MU website using ProxHTTPSProxy always means to install its CA certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authority under the account local computer.

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Modding to the user's needs, when official support weakens, is great! Isn't it? -
You can adjust that by editing the CSS code. Have a look into the CSS reference! At the moment, there is no other way. No extension like Classic Theme Restorer for the legacy browsers Serpent 52 or Firefox 52! Frankly, I do not need that. My tab bar will stay above the address bar. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Anbima! Two posts above I provided a solution how to move the tab bar below the bookmarks bar, more or less only for you. What about that? Do you think it is much fun to post solutions without any feedback? Instead of responding to such solutions in any way, I can only read one of your next questions. Maybe, you should just rethink about it! Cheers, AstroSkipper

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Hello @VistaLover! I've tested this beta version 1.16.4.31b2 of uBlock Origin in a fresh, clean profile, and unfortunately, it causes the same issue as the official version 1.16.4.30. When clearing the browser's cache and opening the dashboard, you should see the issue in the top of the page. Tested in New Moon 28 (2022-09-09). Kind regards, AstroSkipper -

Move the tab bar below the bookmarks bar After some changes in the past, the tab bar was moved above the address bar as its new default position. To revert this change in Mypal 68, you have to modify the file userChrome.css. Requirements: Download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z in the first post of this thread. Read carefully what I wrote about Custom Buttons requirements in Mypal 68! After closing Mypal 68, add the following code to the file userChrome.css at its end: #TabsToolbar { position: absolute; display: block; bottom: 0; width: 100vw; background-clip: padding-box; color: var(--toolbar-color); } #tabbrowser-tabs { width: 100vw; } #navigator-toolbox { position: relative; padding-bottom: calc( var(--tab-min-height) + 8px ); } #main-window[tabsintitlebar][sizemode="maximized"]:not([inDOMFullscreen="true"]) #titlebar { height: 36px; } .titlebar-buttonbox-container { position: fixed; right: 0; visibility: visible; display: block; } #TabsToolbar .titlebar-buttonbox-container, #TabsToolbar #window-controls { display: none; } Start the browser again, and you should notice the tab bar is located below the address and bookmarks bar from now on.

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I used github-wc-polyfill for a longer time. Unfortunately, there wasn't any activity since April. Therefore, I changed completely to palefill a few months ago. And, I am totally happy with that. -

Of course! I can write PMs in any language I want to use. But, that wasn't the intention of my statement! PM is meant for personal or private communication, and that isn't the case here. I generally do not answer questions on the topic of a thread via PM. I did that once, and I will never do it again. Any requests and their answers or solutions to technical problems should be posted in the appropriate threads so that others can participate and benefit from them.- 2,340 replies

360 Extreme Explorer Modified Version
AstroSkipper replied to Humming Owl's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
You can't have used Mypal 68 for that long, it's only been around for a few months. Please, don't forget it is still under development and in a beta state! And, I can't confirm your assessment at all. Mypal 68 is faster and more resource-efficient than the 360Chrome browsers. BTW, we are of course talking about Mypal 68 in single process mode. Anyway, sorry , but the truth has to be told!- 2,340 replies

360 Extreme Explorer Modified Version
AstroSkipper replied to Humming Owl's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Both, the abandoned Mypal 29 and the current Mypal 68, were and are great projects. The sources they were ported from can be trusted. BTW, Mypal 68 is based on Firefox 68. And moreover, @feodor2 can be trusted in the same way as @roytam1. 360Chrome browsers are basically Chinese browsers, modified Chrome browsers, full of telemetric implementations, spyware and ads. It doesn't matter where the developer comes from. It's more a question of sources and trust. I wrote programs for our TLS proxies, and I am German. And now?- 2,340 replies

Mine doesn't, either. I use 360ChromePortable 13.0.2206 rebuild 9. When I open the Google website, for example, a click (left or right-click) onto the lock (left of https) does not show any encryption information, either. It does simply nothing. Maybe, you checked this in a previous version like 13.0.2107, but in the last version 13.0.2206 of 360Chrome v13, the lock is inaccessible for me. And, I didn't alter anything in this browser with regard to the skin or whatever.

360 Extreme Explorer Modified Version
AstroSkipper replied to Humming Owl's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
You may be right. Nevertheless, it is always a question of trust. And if you have the choice between a Chinese browser that was modified by Russians, and then not fully translated into the English language, and on the other hand a browser that was ported from the Mozilla community, the choice is not really difficult in terms of security and privacy. Right? I use the 360Chrome browsers, too, but only rarely. I would neither enter any passwords, secret information, nor any payment related data into one of these 360Chrome browsers. I do not trust them at all! And, today even less than before! And to be honest, it would not matter to me whatever the outcome of any safety tests. My main browsers are New Moon 28, Serpent 52, and Mypal 68. 360Chrome browsers are only fed by me with Google-infested rubbish, where security and privacy don't matter anyway. But, as paradoxical as it may sound, I am still glad that these Chrome browsers exist in Windows XP.- 2,340 replies
