This is a good question for addressing to @UCyborg. He already implemented some features which were previously only found in the webextension of uBO.

Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP
AstroSkipper replied to heinoganda's topic in Windows XP
Here are two screenshots containing the site and certificate information of DeepL and valid-isrgrootx2.letsencrypt.org taken from Mypal 68.13.9b under Windows XP Professional 32-bit: I can't see any E1 problems. I fear your statement: is not correct. Maybe, it applies to Windows XP without any ports and 360Chrome but not in general. Do you agree? -
Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP

And what about that? A Windows port of the Elliptic Curve Cryptography library (ECC-LIB): https://github.com/argp/ecc-lib-win32 -
You can't know that in general. Some lists, especially the well-known ones such as Adguard, uBlock or Easylist, are certainly better maintained than less well-known or private ones. But I can definitely tell from the download size that it sometimes decreases and then increases again. So, entries are both deleted and added. From time to time, I load these lists for the offline update of my mod. Therefore, I can't agree with your statement in general. It doesn't really reflect the reality.

Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP
AstroSkipper replied to heinoganda's topic in Windows XP
I have just changed the image. Click onto it and use the zoom button! All is described in my main article in the section 9 in terms of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3. BTW, information can't be detailed enough. You should rather be glad that someone has gone to so much trouble. And inside the archive file is additionally a manual with all instructions. -
Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP
AstroSkipper replied to heinoganda's topic in Windows XP
Here is a llst of all cipher suites and TLS protocols offered by ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3: -
I don't think that filters, which are considered by uBO invalid, will properly do their job anyway. That is probably clear to everyone. I am not fully convinced that these values are really meaningful. The filter engine is very old, and the modern filter lists contain more and more syntax which presumably can't be executed successfully by it.

Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP
AstroSkipper replied to heinoganda's topic in Windows XP
Yep! And that's a good example why TLS protocols and certain cipher suites can be used in Windows XP although this OS can't handle them natively. -
What are we looking for? I didn't notice any particular warnings about filterlist incompatibilities. When updating filter lists in the legacy extension, you will see many entries in the logger considered invalid filters by uBO. At least, I see them.

In theory yes but practically no. And who will do that? As @UCyborg and me already stated, uBlock Origin is one of the most complex extensions. He called it rightly a "beast" that is difficult to tame. And it is hard work to implement or port such improvements from the webextension. And it is not even certain that they will work as expected.Therefore, we have to use more and good filter lists to get similar results in blocking at the moment when using the legacy extension. This is my assessment so far. We will see what happens in the future. In any case, I didn't get such ads you observed on the website www.ovagames.com.

To block most elements or objects whatever they are, you surely need more filter lists in the last legacy versions of uBlock Origin than in the webextension. A lot of filters are consindered invalid by the legacy extension due to the old filter engine which lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. Open the logger and perform an update of your filter lists in the legacy version! Then you will see what I am talking about. In any case, I get a lot of notifications about invalid filters when checking the logger. But one thing I can say without any further proofs. You are using too few filter lists to block as much as possible with the legacy extension.

Just what I say. I use much more filter lists than you. Two of them you have enabled are not used in my installation. When I am back at my desktop computer, I will provide a screenshot of my current configuration for better comparison. What I definitely know at this moment is that in my uBlock Origin Legacy installation of New Moon 28, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters".

BTW, I do not watch YouTube videos in browsers under Windows XP. YouTube has become bloated and cumbersome for many years. Under Windows XP and older, weaker machines, there are different ways to watch them more unbloated and less resource-consuming. @NotHereToPlayGames One way is to use the extension uTube from RealityRipple Software for UXP browsers. Doing so, you won't see any ads, even not these annoyances at the end of the Adblocker Test Video. All you have to do is to edit the install.rdf to make it compatible with New Moon 28 or Serpent 52.

Or, you are using other filter lists than me which is probably more true.

Maybe on Pale Moon, but in any case not on New Moon 28 when using @UCyborg's uBlock Origin 1.16.6b1 or uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35.

The whole test video does not show any ads. In the last 10 seconds before it is ending, it shows a notification for an optional subscription and a preview image of the next video which would start automatically if autoplay is on. Sorry, I don't consider this to be advertising. And I don't believe that this can be fully blocked by an ad blocker. This is just an assumption, of course. I said: "And I don't believe that this can be fully blocked by an ad blocker. This is just an assumption, of course." This was really just an assumption, and I was wrong. Both elements can be fully blocked by uBlock Origin Legacy. Here is the code: www.youtube.com##.ytp-ce-covering-overlay ||yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_mXEGaCazliYd6jLRL48P-rscos9Syk1sXeF7FWI7XB_5w=s400-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj$image ||i.ytimg.com/vi/1OE6AtIUGk4/maxresdefault.jpg$image www.youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element-show.ytp-ce-size-1920.ytp-ce-top-right-quad.ytp-ce-large-round.ytp-ce-video.ytp-ce-element But to be honest, it is of course not worth the efforts. These two elements do not bother me at all. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Can you please provide a screenshot with all filter lists you have enabled on the tab "Filter lists"? This would be easier to compare with the ones I have enabled.

I see, but did you click anywhere in the site once in a while? That's when the ads' reports come or when ads from aliexpress are opened. Btw, the site igg-games.com suffers from the same situation. I clicked everywhere on this site www.ovagames.com and its sub-sites. No pop-ups. No ads. Nothing.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
In contrast to UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, all current Chrome browsers are extremely limited and restricted. Webextensions don't have the permissions that legacy extensions have. This is one of the main reasons why I avoid Chrome browsers when I can. Nevertheless, provide a link to the YouTube video where ads are still shown despite blocking by uBO! -
If you compare the behaviour of the legacy extension with the webextension, you should only use the same filter lists in both. And you also have to look at which filter lists you combine with each other in order to achieve an optimum result. But one thing is clear. The legacy extension lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. This means that the latter uses a much more advanced filter engine than the legacy version. I have opened the website www.ovagames.com again by New Moon 28 with a fully configured uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35. No problems here. No additional pop-ups or any other ads. Surfing there is easy and smooth.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
AstroSkipper replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
In my New Moon 28 profile, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters". I can't notice any serious impact caused by New Moon 28 (at the moment, 318 MB RAM usage by palemoon.exe).
