You're right! Same here! 360Chrome is originally a Chinese browser. There is no multilanguage support. It lacks of localization and can't show the correct local time if there is DST in the time zone. Of course, one could change the system's time zone. But, why should one do that? The correct time zone in Windows itself is much more important. I would recommend to leave the system time zone as it is for the real location. There are other browsers which can do that correctly. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Yep! They did new changes. From now on, 360Chrome v11 don't work with Virustotal's new interface anymore, either.

Thanks for your hints! I do not have important settings in uBlock Origin which are worth to be saved. Therefore, I cleaned my profile deeply before reinstalling uBlock Origin. I use eCleaner to delete all settings in terms of uBlock's entries in abour:config and I delete manually ublock0.sqlite in the subfolder extension-data of my profile folder. But, you are right. All users who have important, individual settings or rules should backup them before cleaning their profile folder. On the dashboard page, there is an item called "Back up to file"" to save settings via uBlock itself. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I've made new modified versions of uBlock Origin Legacy. All is described here: These versions are tested by me and work as they should. Cheers, AstroSkipper

uBlock Origin Legacy modified by @AstroSkipper - Part 2 (obsolete) In the first part about uBlock Origin, I fixed the issue of the incorrect dashboard's display. After that, a member of this forum came up with the idea to replace the file with the available filter lists in my modded version of uBlock Origin due to loading problems that could be observed lately with these lists. A good idea, in my opinion. He replaced the file assets.json in the folder \assets with the one from the current web extension uBlock0_1.44.5b0.firefox.signed.xpi in my corrected version uBlock0_1.16.4.30.firefox-legacy-mod-by-@AstroSkipper.xpi. Thanks for that to @nicolaasjan! I had a closer look and came to the conclusion that in case of such a modification not only this one file but also all related filter lists should be replaced in the folders \assets\thirdparties and \assets\ublock, for consistency reasons. Freely according to the motto "Who says A, must also say B" (German saying! ). Furthermore, @VistaLover drew my attention to an unofficial, more recent version of uBlock Origin Legacy with the version number 1.16.4.31b2: This xpi file has already been updated with regards to its filter lists and is now the basis of my new, modified version of uBlock Origin Legacy. Here is the complete changelog of what I have modified: The file dashboard.css fixed as described in my post "uBlock Origin Legacy modified by @AstroSkipper - Part 1". The file assets.json replaced by the most recent one. Missing filter lists in the folders thirdparties and ublock added. Existing filter lists in the folders thirdparties and ublock updated. This is a screenshot of the location inside the xpi file where all filter lists related files can be found: And, here is the download link to my new, fixed version of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2, credits to @nicolaasjan and @VistaLover: https://www.mediafire.com/file/rv4cdfsm9ddqq30/uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy-enhanced-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file I compared this new modded version to the old one, and it works really great. The updating of the filter lists are now much faster than before, meaning flawlessly. No eternal waiting for update end! But that's not all! And again it was @VistaLover, who pointed me to another solution for fixing the glitch in the dashboard page. Thanks for that again, @VistaLover! In the Pale Moon Forum, a solution is described how to fix this glitch using the advanced settings of uBlock Origin: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28882 Open the dashboard page, under the item Settings, enable the option "I am an advanced user", click on the icon at the end of this option, and change the value for uiStyles from unset to font-family: sans-serif. That's all! From now on, the dashboard page works as it should. And, here is the next download link of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2, only modified in terms of the filter lists, credits to @nicolaasjan and @VistaLover: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zy1dpmtv2py9tws/uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy-filter-lists-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file Furthermore, two posts with all deeper information provided by @VistaLover: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=1226700 and https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=1226717 Additionally, a link to the wiki of uBlock Origin's advanced settings: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-settings It seems to be the case that in the next releases of roytam1's UXP browsers the glitch issue in the dashboard page will be presumably fixed. If that is the case, all modifications due to the glitch issue won't be necessary anymore. But, I think they won't harm, either. And finally, an important recommendation to get a new installation of uBlock Origin Legacy working properly and flawlessly. After uninstalling the previous version (yes, the old version should be uninstalled), delete all remnants via about:config and in your profile folder! The remnants of uBlock Origin which can be viewed via about:config can be easily removed by the extension eCleaner. And in your profile folder, there is a file in the subfolder extension-data called ublock0.sqlite which has to be removed manually. Delete the browser cache, too! If doing so, the updating of the filter lists will work like a charme after installing one of my modified versions. All users who have important, individual settings or rules should backup them before cleaning their profile folder. On the dashboard page, there is an item called "Back up to file"" to save the user's settings via uBlock itself. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Very good find! Thanks for your deeper insight and information about the latest developments! You are definitely the expert of repos and commits. I've just tested this setting of uiStyles and it works perfectly. Now, I understand why you didn't observe this issue in your browsers. When I was thinking about a solution for this glitch some weeks ago, I also looked in the advanced settings of uBlock Origin. Unfortunately, I didn't pursue this further because I didn't look at the individual options more closely due to the fact that I didn't know their syntax, either. A look at this page would have greatly simplified my search for a solution: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-settings Anyway, we have now different solutions to solve this glitch of uBlock Origin's dashboard page, and I have extended my knowledge about CSS.

You're welcome!

That should not be a problem at all. If you do not understand what I have written, use an online translation service like DeepL! DeepL Translator In any case, it would be desirable not to spread information that does not correspond to the facts. This only confuses others and is in no way helpful.

Update notification! The article "Mypal 68 on low performance systems with an amount less than 2 GB of RAM" has been updated with regard to a new recommended setting of the variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Did you read my short clarification? There isn't or hasn't been any automatical reset or forced reset of these dummy certificates. Resetting these certificates in the folder Certs always means to delete all of them manually. It doesn't matter which version of ProxHTTPSProxy.

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.

@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

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

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

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. Cheers, AstroSkipper

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
