    This is interesting, please elaborate how to select the value? The drawback is about this too, more memory hungry and then crash even if you have it free left Rebasing is not a panacea. But I have had great experiences with rebasing the chrome.dll file in the 360Chrome browser. On my hardware, I was able to solve a BSOD problem caused by another programme and reduce the RAM memory consumption by more than half. Whether rebasing is necessary or useful depends on how the corresponding DLL files are compiled. Keyword: ASLR. If a browser such as Mypal 68 consumes too much RAM, I always experiment with rebasing the main DLL file, in this case the xul.dll file. However, the base address of 0x6af00000 is a default address selected by the tool libase if this is not changed in its INI config file by the user. Here is the command line command for rebasing with the tool libase: libase xul.dll And here is the content of my libase.ini file: [Generated bases] 62a00000=CHROME.DLL 6da00000=CHROME_CHILD.DLL 6af00000=XUL.DLL 63e00000=ICU63.DLL For a DLL file in Windows, the default base address is 0x10000000 for 32-bit images. After a research in the internet, the most suitable address range for DLLs is from 0x60000000 through 0x6f000000. Microsoft proposes to reduce the range further to 0x60000000 through 0x68000000 in order to accommodate with MIPS processors, too. Another tool for rebasing is Microsoft's Rebase which is part of the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4. Here is the command line command for rebasing with the tool Rebase:: rebase -b 0x6af00000 xul.dll However, it is a game of trial and error to check, whether rebasing has an effect, and to find a suitable base address. Experience to date has shown that Mypal 68 is stable and uses slightly less RAM when the xul.dll file has been rebased. No crashes here. At least, on my hardware when using Mypal 68 in multiprocess mode. I remember something was done already in extension, the question is the minimize memory thing useful at all. I already mentioned that I use a legacy custom button for this purpose which can be seen in the top right of my posted screenshot. I marked it with a red arrow. In multiprocess mode, a not inconsiderable amount of wasted RAM memory can thus be reclaimed on a regular basis. This has already been tested by me. Therefore, I would like to see such a feature natively implemented in Mypal 68, as I described in my previous posts.

    What kind of drawback is it? @feodor2 Any information on that? @feodor2 Actually, this was a feature request. Any opinion on this?

    And they all ended up using the Ancient Greek language. Telegramma consists of two Greek words tele = τῆλε = far, distant and gramma = γράμμα = letter, type. As you put it so aptly, it's all just stolen ...

    If the people in charge of Telegram, such as the founder and CEO Pavel Durov, tolerate their service being used for serious crimes such as mass murder, illegal arms and drug trafficking, child pornography, formation of organised crime, organised fraud, war mongering, worst propaganda combined with fake news and so on (the list is almost endless) and do nothing about it, then such subjects must be held accountable. And Pavel Durov is still lucky. He was arrested and charged in the EU (France). Conversely, if such a person from the EU were to be arrested and charged in Pavel Durov's original home country, the usual death sentence would not be long in coming.

    Yes. As you can see in the screenshots, the menu bar has already been enabled. The File, Edit etc. menu is located at the top left of the window. The background colour is blue, the font colour is white. That's why it is only difficult to see in my screenshots. I only unchecked the bookmarks bar. In any case, all is working. The CSS code #tabbrowser-tabs { visibility: collapse !important; } only hides the tab bar and nothing else. When you assign to the ID tabbrowser-tabs, which determines the tab bar, a property in CSS, then only this ID will be modified and nothing else. The last two screenshots show how Mypal 68 can be retrofitted to still get access to all open tabs when hiding the tab bar. I removed the CSS code .tabs-newtab-button { display: none !important; } to get back the New Tab button, which is the class tabs-newtab-button in CSS. I then manually moved it to the position shown in the screenshots. BTW, may I remind you what I already wrote: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @Cixert Good job! Summarising all our findings is a good idea. However, I noticed that you didn't mention any exclusions. Did you end up without any additional exclusions in the corresponding ExcludeList-xxx.txt files? Especially when downloading .NET Framework updates for Windows XP? In the latter case, for example, I had to set additional exclusions to avoid the download of incompatible, unnecessary updates.

    Hiding the tab bar with still full access to all open tabs via the sidebar in Mypal 68

    Hiding the tab bar with still full access to all open tabs via a toolbar button in Mypal 68

    Personally, I prefer the tab bar visible to manage tabs and jump to the one I need, just the way it has always been. I only made the CSS code above on request and to show that the corresponding code can be easily created for hiding the complete tab bar, even including the New tab button. For all who need as much free screen as possible while surfing, but do not want to do without tabs completely, there will be soon a modified version of "Make the tab bar invisible in Mypal 68" in the next posts.

    What kind of drawback is it? The last weeks, I had been using Mypal 68.14.3b, and all in all, I couldn't observe any serious problems. Today, I have updated to Mypal 68.14.4b. I should mention at this point that I use all your releases with an xul.dll file rebased on the base address of 0x6af00000 to try to improve the terrible memory hunger of Mypal 68. As a further and quite effective measure, especially in multiprocess mode, I automatically perform every 10 minutes a memory minimization by a legacy custom button. In this way, I free Mypal 68 from occupied RAM memory (and that's not even that little) that it does not want to release on its own, even though it no longer needs it. I wonder if such a feature could be optionally implemented in Mypal 68 under the Options → Performance tab, i.e. a checkbox with an input field to minimize memory every x min where x is set by the user. In the end, this would automatically call up the already existing minimize memory function, which all Firefox browsers natively have, periodically. In any case, Mypal 68 (and thus Firefox) must be restricted as far as RAM consumption is concerned. Especially on old, weak computers that are only equipped with a small amount of RAM.

    Disable hardware acceleration as a test to see if eBay tabs still crash or not! Check all relevant settings regarding hardware acceleration in about:config! Especially media and codecs related ones. Tab crashes are very often related to the hardware acceleration as reported by users. Of course, there may also be other reasons. Check also your graphics card drivers and all related settings! Furthermore, try to block on eBay as much as possible by uBlock Origin! And provide your hardware specs regarding CPU, RAM and graphics card, and the used OS! PS: All test should be done in a brand new and clean profile to ensure that the used profile isn't faulty.
  12. AstroSkipper
    No. Actually, these crashes can't be related to these two prefs settings. I use both for a longer time and didn't notice any tab crashes. TBH, I have never seen this messsge before. This must be caused by someting different. And the crappy eBay website doesn't work well in Mypal 68 for some time. I did an order on eBay yesterday using Mypal 68, and it wasn't a pleasure. You should use uBlock Origin in any case especially if accessing such bloated websites. Do you use Mypal 68 in single- or multi-process mode? Do you use a new, clean profile? Please provide more detailed information when posting issues!
  13. AstroSkipper
    TBH, there is actually nothing to work out. Just a bit copy and paste following the instructions. Reading and directly doing is the method.
  14. AstroSkipper
    Yes, I like this extension. It does its job, and the problem with the sporadic disappearance of the Clean Links' toolbar icon doesn't occur anymore.
  15. AstroSkipper
    Set both prefs dom.max_script_run_time and dom.max_ext_content_script_run_time to the value of 0 via about:config!

    First of all, a little tip when replying to a post by quoting. Afler clicking the quote button, you should put your reply outside the quote. Otherwise your actual reply is hidden inside the quote, and only expanding the quote would make it readable. Back to the CSS code. All is described in detail in my article and additionally inside the MYPAL_68_CB_requirements.7z package. It's almost like an instruction manual. You can't really do anything wrong. The whole thing actually only takes a few minutes. Once this initial setup is done, you can easily add or manage UC.JS scripts as well as CSS stylesheets. If you have problems following the instructions, feel free to ask here!

    TBH, what are you talking about profile rebuild process? Simply unpack the most recent version of Serpent to a folder and create a new, clean profile without any modification! Then test the Restore Session functionality! It's that simple. No rebuilding of whatever. First checking if it is now working at all. When done, you can rebuild whatever you want to. And I bet you that the result will be that Session Restore works, but the Restore Previous Session entry is and remains greyed out.

    Although I am behind a router with a NAT- firewall, I always use a software firewall to control all incoming and outgoing connections. There are programmes installed in my system I do not allow to connect to the internet. Furthermore, I always use an antimalware programme. All in all, I consider such an configuration as a basic one when it comes to the matter security. But all that is not yet an answer what is going on with the Restore Previous Session entry of New Moon's or Serpent's History menu.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for the tip! Maybe, this helps next time in a crashed profile where the Session Manager extension wasn't installed. But unfortunately none of this answers what is going on with the Restore Previous Session entry. Apart from that, I have started using the OneTab extension more intensively again to not lose important tabs anymore.
  20. AstroSkipper
    BTW, I have never seen that a Serpent version can be grayed out.
  21. AstroSkipper
    Long story short. Some months ago, I lost the complete session in my main profile of New Moon 28. No chance to restore this session. And the "Restore Previous Session" entry was greyed out as usual. I think the user can't rely 100% on the native "Restore Session" function. If tabs or sessions must not be lost, it is better to install the Session Manager extension. And the "Restore Previous Session" entry doesn't seem to work at all, at least in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. But maybe, someone knows more about this "Restore Session" stuff.

    The "Purge all caches" button was unfortunately removed when releasing uBlock Origin 1.55. I love it when useful, tried and tested features are simply removed, for whatever reason. Here is a link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.55.0 The good is, in my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy which of course isn't compatible with Mypal 68, it will stay forever. But this is another story.
  23. AstroSkipper
    I can confirm that the Session Restore feature still works in the most recent Serpent 52 from 15.08.2024. Here is a screenshot: But why is the Restore Previous Session entry in the History menu always grayed out? I haven't seen this entry activated for a very long time, no matter what happened in the browser session. Or to put it another way, under which conditions will the Restore Previous Session entry be activated at all? It seems to depend on the setting "Remember history" from what I read, but this is activated in my profiles by default.
  24. AstroSkipper
    When using UC.JS scripts and/or CSS stylesheets, the user should not forget to clear the startup cache, especially when changes are made. This measure ensures that all modifications are applied correctly.
  25. AstroSkipper
    The good is that the user of New Moon and Serpent has still the choice, at least until now. All prefetching features can be manually disabled to ensure that uBlock Origin Legacy works properly, especially if the user notices interference. So, everyone can decide for themselves what is important to them.
