    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.

    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

    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

    Hello @XPerceniol! I already noticed that you haven't been around here for nearly a week. Hope all is well with you and wish you the very best! Friendly greetings from Germany! AstroSkipper

    @Anbima! This thread is dedicated to the 360Chrome browsers. Here you'll find the answer to your request about Mypal 68: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @Anbima! Here is the answer to your request about the position of the tab bar: Greetings, 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.

    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.

    Read my article! BTW, MSFN is an English-speaking forum only! Therefore unfortunately, no!

    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!
  14. AstroSkipper
    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?
  15. AstroSkipper
    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.
  16. AstroSkipper
    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.

    Toggle Restartless Add-ons The custom button Toggle Restartless Add-ons provides a drop-down menu to toggle both restartless add-ons and installed plug-ins. It was created by Infocatcher, and its version is 0.1.2.3 of 2016-08-02. Here is a screenshot of its drop-down menu: Here are additional mouse click action for convenient usage of its toolbar button: Clicking onto the toolbar button: Left-click – open drop-down menu Middle-click or left-click with any modifier – open Add-ons Manager Clicking onto the items of the drop-down menu: Left-click – toggle enabled/disabled Shift+left-click – toggle enabled/disabled and don't close menu Middle-click or left-click with any modifier (except Shift) – open add-on page Right-click – open add-on options (if any) The custom button Toggle Restartless Add-ons allows to activate or deactivate restartless extensions and plugins faster without opening the Add-ons Manager. For its installation, the extension Custom Buttons is required.

    Custom Buttons - The extension for installing custom buttons The extension Custom Buttons gives a possibility to create or install custom toolbar buttons to enhance the browser's functionality or get easily access to features difficult to be reached. Here is a screenshot of Custom Buttons which is integrated in the Add-ons Manager after installation: There are different ways to install a custom button. If you have written an own custom button, you can add this code via the button 'Add new button'. Here is a screenshot of its configuration window: If you want to install an already provided one, the installation depends on the format of this button. In case it is offered as an XML file, you can install it via the browser's file menu item 'Open file' and click onto the button 'Install', or you do it via 'drag and drop' into an empty browser window. Here is an example what you'll see when you do that: In the internet and especially in the Custom Buttons forum http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/index.php, you can install custom buttons via a provided link. You see, a lot of possibilities to get and install custom buttons. The last version, you can download via the Classic Add-ons Archive, is Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9. The version, which I use and can recommend, is Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9.6-fixed8, a more recent and compatible one. It works flawlessly in New Moon 28, Serpent 52, and also in other browsers. I uploaded this version for you. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wpf38lupdi4fo0s/custom_buttons-0.0.5.8.9-fixed8-signed.xpi/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Serpent Tester Tool The extension Serpent Tester Tool allows to install any extension in Basilisk or Serpent, regardless of target application and versions specified in its manifest. Here is a quotation from the homepage of its developer Nebula-Mechanica, who forked Serpent Tester Tool from JustOff's Moon Tester Tool: @VistaLover brought this fork of Moon Tester Tool to my attention. Until then, I was only aware of the Moon Tester Tool extension. I tested it with a few extensions, and it works as expected. Here is the link to the first version 1.0.0 of Serpent Tester Tool: https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/serpent-tester-tool/releases/tag/1.0.0 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Moon Tester Tool The extension Moon Tester Tool allows to install any extension in Pale Moon or New Moon, regardless of target application and versions specified in its manifest. Here is a quotation from the homepage of its developer JustOff: Every extension that I have made compatible with Moon Tester Tool works flawlessly. Here is the link to the latest version 2.1.4 of Moon Tester Tool: https://github.com/JustOff/moon-tester-tool/releases/tag/2.1.4 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    GeoFlag customized by @AstroSkipper I used the extension FlagFox for a very long time in Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, Pale Moon, New Moon, and Serpent 52. Although this extension was abandoned for the legacy UXP browsers due to the change to the modern web extensions years ago, it could be updated by inserting its most recent database manually. I did that for a very long time. But, since I realized that there is a new extension called GeoFlag, I replaced the old extension FlagFox by this new one in my installation of New Moon 28. As described in my post about the Pale Moon extensions from Realtriple Software https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226249, the GeoFlag extension has to be modified to work in New Moon 28. It can be made compatible with Serpent 52, too. Here is the modified code of GeoFlag's install.rdf for Serpent 52: <?xml version="1.0"?> <RDF xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:em="http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#"> <Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest"> <em:name>GeoFlag</em:name> <em:id>{76843B06-C8C5-5088-90C5-679EA2F00123}</em:id> <em:version>31.0</em:version> <em:type>2</em:type> <!-- Pale Moon --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>28.10.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> <!-- Basilisk / Iceweasel-UXP / Serpent --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>52.9.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>52.9.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> <em:description>Displays a flag depicting the location of the current server</em:description> <em:optionsURL>chrome://geoflag/content/options.xul</em:optionsURL> <em:homepageURL>https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/</em:homepageURL> <em:updateURL>https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/update.rdf</em:updateURL> <em:iconURL>chrome://geoflag/skin/logo.png</em:iconURL> <em:icon64URL>chrome://geoflag/skin/logo64.png</em:icon64URL> <em:creator>RealityRipple</em:creator> <em:developer>David Garrett</em:developer> <em:developer>Joseph Birr-Pixton</em:developer> </Description> </RDF> Or, you can use the extension Serpent Tester Tool https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226306 to make GeoFlag compatible with Serpent. Anyway, this extension is absolutely great and much better than FlagFox. There are many additional features and all of them are working perfectly. Here is a screenshot of its context menu: There was only one feature I unfortunately missed. The menu item My info to get information about the user's external IP and their location. For that reason, I added this item by myself. And, what can I say? It works exactly as expected. Here is a screenshot with my customized settings: Download link of GeoFlag: https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/GeoFlag/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Frankly, I use Chrome browsers in Windows XP very rarely, only for Googlized websites or comparisons with roytam1's browsers. More recent versions don't mean to be better. 360Chrome v11 is just about bearable in terms of its performance and resource consumption, 360Chrome v13 on the other hand is beyond good and evil in my low-resource system. And yes, the installed version of v13 is 360ChromePortable 13.0.2206 rebuild 9. This is the recommended version (actually 13.0.2107) by @NotHereToPlayGames as far as I know. Supposedly, you won't gain any benefits if upgrading to version v13.5. Yes, I trust build 2107 more. It's been more stable for my use. Mileage may vary. It's NOT a "downgrade". The build numbers seem to confuse far to many people. Halfway through v13, the original creator went to Chromium v86.4240.198. Some of the earlier v13's stem from Chromium v86.4240.112. Even v13.5 and v13.6 use the same exact v86.4240.198 - YOU GAIN NOTHING. I *distrust* v13.5 and v13.6 - I WILL NOT BE UPGRADING THEM (so don't even ask, wink wink).

    Hello @Dave-H! I have installed ArcticFoxie's not 'un-Googled' 360Chrome v11 and v13., both of them in their latest versions. I opened the Google website and had a look in my history. I can't see any problems here, though. Here are two screenshots: History of 360Chrome v11: History of 360Chrome v13: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    RealityRipple Software - Pale Moon Extensions All Pale Moon extensions, created by RealityRipple Software, can be installed in New Moon 28, although their website claims that the extensions are only compatible with Pale Moon 31.*. You just have to modify an entry in the file install.rdf inside each of their xpi files. Here is an example of their original code: <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>31.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion> And here is the modification: <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id> <em:minVersion>28.10.0</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion> BTW, these extensions can also be made compatible with Serpent by using the extension Serpent Tester Tool, for example. Here is a link: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226306. My recommended extensions from RealityRipple are Grabit, ExtExp, BIZARRE, uTube, MTube, GeoFlag, qrThis, and Open Registry Key. All of them can be installed in New Moon 28 with the modification above without any problems, and they are working fine as expected. Here is the link to the site with all available Pale Moon extensions by RealityRipple once again: https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/ Cheers, AstroSkipper
