Thank you very much for the quickest reply ever! At that moment you posted your reply, the site was working again in New Moon 28. So it seems to have been a temporary problem. Thanks again! You brought me luck.

Can you please check the site https://postimages.org/ on Serpent 52 again? For me, it definitely stops working. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, but I can't confirm your observation. I use uBlock Origin too, but this makes no difference. I deleted all cookies in New Moon 68 (the latest build), and therefore I am unregistered too. Please delete your browser cache and try again! I think this site stops working in old browsers. Read the post above! I already reported it to @roytam1. Anyway, thanks for your quick reply! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hi, @roytam1 can you please check the site https://postimages.org/ in your browsers? In the morning, no problems, but now, all of your browser editions stop rendering this site properly, and the website is now useless. No upload of images is possible, and already uploaded images can't be viewed anymore. I tried New Moon 28, Iceape-UXP, K-Meleon 76.4.6-Goanna, Serpent 52. Furthermore, same issues in Firefox 52.9.0esr, 360Crome v11 and 360Crome v13. None of them is able to load this site as usual. Only in Mypal 68, this site works as it always does. Kindest regards, AstroSkipper

Thanks, @mina7601, that's what I meant. New Moon is able to load it, but totally useless. The rendering doesn't work since this morning. It's my main image hoster, and therefore I am more than shocked. The admins of this site must have changed code. In Mypal 68 or Opera mobile (Android), no issues.

Thanks for your reply! But first, I need a confirmation whether the site https://postimages.org/ works in roytam1's browsers or not. Maybe, it's only me having this problem.

Can anyone confirm that the website https://postimages.org/ doesn't work anymore? In the morning. no problems, but now, all roytam1's browser editions stop loading this site properly. I tried New Moon 28, Iceape-UXP, K-Meleon 76.4.6-Goanna, Serpent 52, and last but not least, Firefox 52.9.0esr. None of them could load this site as usual. In Mypal 68, this site works as it should be. Cheers, AstroSkipper

With regards to your hardware resources, I urgently recommend using uBlock Origin in combination with eMatrix. As already mentioned, your grocery online shop is full of ads and they will additionally slow down your browsing experience beside the tons of scripts and images. Generally, an ad blocker is the first extension when I configure a new browser, and uBlock Origin is the best choice in New Moon or Pale Moon. eMatrix provides an menu/navigation bar icon with a matrix for setting up each websites to the user's needs. Unlike NoScript, much more can be adjusted, and eMatrix loads additional filter lists. Viewing the matrix, you definitely know which sites are blocked and which are allowed. Here are the links to the most recent versions: uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/download/firefox-legacy-1.16.4.30/uBlock0_1.16.4.30.firefox-legacy.xpi eMatrix: https://addons.palemoon.org/?component=download&id=eMatrix@vannilla.org&version=5.0.2 And here is a wiki for uMatrix/eMatrix: https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki eMatrix is a fork of uMatrix for old legacy browsers like New Moon. The further development of uMatrix for legacy browsers was abandoned. uBlock Origin is a mighty instrument and actually much more than an ad blocker. You can use it in an advanced mode, but not recommanded for a first-time user. Truth be told, do not expect miracles on those crappy, cumbersome websites! Kind regards, AstroSkipper. PS: When installing eMatrix, you have to deactivate or uninstall NoScript first. You should backup your settings in NoScript first if you want to restore this extension eventually which I do not recommend.

Thanks for both hints! I changed my post in this thread, a bit. Now they are not identical, right? And first, I'll try to post my call in this forum only. Unfortunately, there isn't much hope, though. Kindest regards, AstroSkipper

Thanks for the hint! I only knew Moon Tester Tool but Serpent Tester Tool, I didn't have on my radar yet. Thanks again! Cheers, AstroSkipper

You're welcome! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Looking for a person with Python programming skills to implement TLS 1.3 functionality in ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e! We need a person with Python programming skills to implement TLS 1.3 and its ciphers to the latest version REV3e of ProxHTTPSProxy. Three ciphers associated with TLS 1.3 have to be added to the existing package of REV3e. Its OpenSSL version 1.1.1d already supports TLS 1.3. To assess whether such a project can be realized, the source code can be viewed first, of course. This is the download link of ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e's source code: https://www.mediafire.com/file/s9027bdxffodbna/cryptography-2.8-py3.4_openssl-1.1.1d.rar/file All information about ProxHTTPSProxy can be found in the first post of my thread: Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! If there is such a person, I'll be pleased to get your opinion whether such a project is possible or not. I personally cannot estimate the scope and the effort required for such a project, since I unfortunately do not have any knowledge in the Python programming language. That's the reason for this call. The goal is to get a proxy with the most recent protocol and its ciphers in Windows XP and to future-proof this OS. Thanks in advance! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

To make sure that as many as possible can read this call, I will create a separate thread for it. Cheers, AstroSkipper

The following information is still missing: your OS, including the state of updating, your main browser and the exact specification of your CPU. I assume you have a CPU limited to the instruction set SSE. Is that correct? And is that the link to your grocery shop: https://www.asda.com/ ? Cheers, AstroSkipper In the most recent version of New Moon (palemoon-28.10.6a1.win32-git-20220618-d849524bd-uxp-43cfc69b2-xpmod) I can open the site mentioned above and search for products. When adding a product to the shopping cart, the browser redirects me to the login page. This is the end of my test due to the fact that I am not a registered customer and don't want to become one. Generally I can say the site works although it is crappy and heavy on loading. I use the extensions uBlock Origin and eMatrix to adjust the loaded content. For me, it is the best combination in New Moon and in roytam1's other browser editions. With eMatrix you can adjust exactly which content needs to be loaded or not, in contrast to NoScript. While searching for milk on ASDA, for example, uBlock Origin shows a count of 33 blocked requests. Without this AD blocker, it would be certainly awful or stressful to search for products using an old computer with less hardware resources. My testing system is a very old computer with 1.5 GB SD-RAM and a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Northwood single core CPU. The OS is Windows XP Professional SP3, fully updated, and all POSReady updates are included, Kind regards, AstroSkipper

JustOff offers a few extensions for multiple browsers, but most of his extensions are for Pale Moon only. Unfortunately, Greedy Cache is one of these extensions. If it was compatible with Firefox or Serpent, he'd have added most probably suitable compatibility strings to the file install.rdf. But you can add these strings by editing install.rdf, install your mod afterwards and do your own test. It's totally easy, and you have nothing to lose. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@genieautravail Now, you can see there are a lot of choices to implement a custom button in one of our beloved legacy browsers, unlike in the case of Mypal 68. The script aboutabout is the only way to do that in modern Firefox/Mypal browsers. There are no such extensions, and all old custom buttons don't work anymore. That's one of the reasons I created this thread. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hi @genieautravail, in New Moon 28, you can either use the extension Custom Buttons 0.0.5.8.9.6 if you have a working script for such a button, or much easier the extension More About 3.0.0 or Addons Memory Usage 12.9 in combination with Addons Memory Usage Button 1.2. Scripts for the extension Custom Buttons made by users can be downloaded here: http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 And here is the link to a working button called About: Menus Mod which does the same: http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=367&p=1945&hilit=aboutabout#p1945 Cheers, AstroSkipper

aboutbutton The script aboutbutton.uc.js adds a button with a context menu to the navigation bar and to the main context menu a new submenu that allows opening different about pages in a new tab. All about pages with one click as it was possible by the old legacy add-on More About! A similar web extension exists but doesn't work, i.e., it is just crap. Anyway, I love it and I hope you love it too! The original version is a German one. I've translated it for you and provide an English version either. Tested and working. Requirements: Download package MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z in the first post of this thread. Download link of English version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/gprvnhf3bng8g8w/aboutbutton.uc.js/file Download link of German version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/59d1vtc5ghlcu1d/aboutbutton.uc.js/file

Some weeks ago, @mina7601 reported an issue on GitHub relating to DevianArt. Its website was refusing to load in Mypal 68. And greyrat116 posted a solution to solve this problem. The variable layout.css.resizeobserver.enabled has to be set to true. Thank you, greyrat116 = @grey_rat ?, for posting this solution! The issue is closed now. Why do I mention this here? When posting an article or a comment in this forum, or an issue on GitHub, I love to use some animated gifs. The last time when I reported an issue on GitHub, I used one of these gifs. Here is the link to this issue: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/96 In New Moon 28, I had no problem to load this site and the animated gif was loading correctly either. But in Mypal 68, this site was loaded without showing that gif. Try it! Setting layout.css.resizeobserver.enabled to boolean value true solves this problem. Background: The ResizeObserver interface reports changes to the dimensions of an Element's content or border box, or the bounding box of an SVGElement. Anyway, thanks again to @mina7601 and presumably @grey_rat ( if my identification is correct, I'm not a Sherlock Holmes!) for posting and solving this issue! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Yeah, that's presumably the truth. It's a question of time either. No one can be everywhere. But @feodor2 reads the issues and ,in a lot of cases, replies to them. Or other "experts" try to help.

I don't think @feodor2 reads this thread. It was opened by a member. Therefore this thread is not an official one. If you have a request or whatever, you have to do that on GitHub. Here is a link to the issues: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues BTW, thanks for responding to my instructions for using CustomCSSforFx: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/?do=findComment&comment=1220562 Cheers, AstroSkipper
