Although I am not interested in Epyrus, and especially its developer is avoided by me, the users of the legacy extension of uBlock Origin can’t help it. However, at the moment, I won't add these changes to my mod as they have to be tested more deeply in different browsers/email clients over a longer period of time. If all is good, and these changes don't cause any problems, maybe, I’ll implement them in one of my future releases. So please, test @UCyborg's release 1.16.4.31b3 in different browsers/email clients under different OSes and report here! Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Fightingfalcon Now, you may understand why it is better to post a problem publicly. The more read your request, the better. @UCyborg You now know my opinion of Epyrus and its developer. But still, from a purely technical point of view, good job!

Thanks for the hint! But who says I wouldn't use this test site? I know both and some others but I don't want to post all of my results. BTW, I got a score of 99% on this site.

You're welcome. To get good blocking results the combination of the used filter lists is very important. But in some cases, one has to create additional filters under "My filters" to get rid of more or at best all ads.

As I already mentioned, I am just testing my new release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32 regarding how effective the filter lists selected by me and some custom filters are. Here is my result in New Moon 28 on the adblocker testing site https://test.adminforge.de/adblock.html where all connections are allowed by ematrix for testing purpose: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Had given me an error message earlier, but after clicking retry it worked. They seem to be tinkering with the protocol again. -

Not to confuse you, I'm currently using this account with a normal password, but I just wanted to show you that the OAuth2 option is offered, which I use in Gmail for example. -

Based on this thread it doesn't work with Office 365 accounts. But normal Outlook accounts do actually work. -

And check this thread where we talked a lot about supported protocols: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184410-xpvista-compatible-clients-for-modern-email-services/ MailNews actually supports OAuth2. I set up an old hotmail email address months ago which is of course a Microsoft Outlook address today, and it still works. Just tested. And all my Gmail accounts were set up by OAuth2, and they also work in MailNews. -

A bit off-topic is no problem. But keep in mind I created this thread to be no longer off-topic in @roytam1 thread regarding YouTube Downloaders! But that conversely should not mean losing sight of the goal of this thread. Talking about a browser that you can't really use because it's not available to the public makes no sense at all in this thread and is totally off-topic. Please, contribute within the generously set framework of the topic of this thread! Here, we want to know all about YouTube using under Windows XP in these days. Thanks in advance! Greetings, AstroSkipper

Not really! If a developer of an extension had never supported and didn't want to support a certain software, it is therefore unfortunately not a problem of an extension developer. The request was done in terms of a legacy extension but the corresponding software does not support older legacy Windows operation systems such as Windows XP. None of this makes any sense to me. That's why I'm not interested. For Windows 7 and up, there are so much modern email clients available which fully satisfy all the needs of a user. Thus, no real need for another one. And isn't the developer of Epyrus this athenian200 who speaks so incredibly respectfully and kindly about us here: I wouldn't lift a finger for a disrespectful guy like that. Right!

Nope! Epyrus is a Thunderbird 52-based mail client that builds against UXP (official statement). The legacy extension uBlock Origin works in the email clients Thunderbird 52, Interlink and MailNews. If due all modifications made by the developer of Epyrus the compatibility has been broken, then this can't be the problem of the developer of uBlock Origin who I am not. BTW, forget about Epyrus! Neither the installer version nor the portable version is compatible with Windows XP. Thus, I am definitely out, and that's how the game works.

For using my mod uBlock Origin Legacy, you have to download the xpi file from this thread and to perform a clean install. All is described in detail in my article uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by @AstroSkipper where you'll always find the most recent version. You're welcome! And thank you for your kind words!

Hello @Fightingfalcon! I'm glad to hear that. I have never installed or used Epyrus. What are the system requirements? As far as I know, Epyrus is a Thunderbird 52-based mail client that builds against UXP. uBlock Origin Legacy is fully compatible with Thunderbird 52, Interlink and MailNews. If the developer of Epyrus made changes preventing uBlock Origin Legacy to run properly in Epyrus, then these changes have to be reverted by the Epyrus' developer and nobody else to restore compatibility. IMHO, it therefore doesn't seem to be a problem of uBlock Origin but a problem of Epyrus. If the Epyrus developer turns you away and tells you to contact me, then he just doesn't want to deal with your problem. And please, don't forget I am not the developer of uBlock Origin who is gorhill and unfortunately stopped development a few years ago! I am just providing here a special mod of the legacy extension uBlock Origin to fix a couple of issues and to keep it as up-to-date as possible.

Dune! I love this film from 1984.

Regarding Rutger Hauer, I liked very much the film "Blind Fury". I've watched this film a few times in my life. Enjoyed it again and again.

FYI, I already created an update version of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31. I made a lot of changes. I even installed and tested this version in Serpent 55. @Mathwiz When searching for extension updates in this browser, an update to the webextension of uBlock Origin is no longer offered. In any case, I am now back in testing mode. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Surprisingly, by Pale Moon Forum standards, there were quite "friendly" things to read there.
