    Working good here too. Still prefer Windows 7 though.

    XP is old but millions of people around the world still use it because they have to for whatever reason. Heck I still boot into it on occasion because perfectly good software like Nero 7.5 won't install on Windows 7+. That was intentional to force users to purchase upgrades. Now Microsoft has upped the game with Windows 11 and unrealistic OS requirements for literally hundreds of millions. Hopefully they'll get slapped with antitrust lawsuits and fines once Win 10 has expired.

    Roy or anyone: Just curious about why the Google agent was overridden? I substituted the latest Firefox string and don't see any problems but maybe there's something I'm missing. Edit: a few other sites that don't seem to need the override are Amazon and Bing. Is this related to Pale Moon more so than Serpent?

    This recent update fixed two sites for me: a utility and health site. Spectrum is still out and a few others won't redirect while displaying a "Secure Connection Failed" flag. Quite an improvement though considering the age of the browser.

    That could be true with fast computers so I'm going to test this version out on an older Pentium 4 and see if there's a difference. Twitter on that box was definitely problematic and youtube was slow as molasses so it will be easy to tell. I do like that the polyfill addon is no longer needed and that up-to-date user agents can be used on these sites again. And that sites previously unable to come in are.

    Currently using today's 55.0 and it looks like the web components was already added to these versions. What a massive improvement. Disabled the polyfill addon and github is rendering. A few sites that were previously not coming in like a utility site now are so must have been related to web components (Spectrum still isn't). But the real good news is youtube and twitter are vastly improved. The most up to date Firefox user agent unlike before works and the sites come in and render fast. Looking forward to continuing updates.

    For the regular release yes it would break but 78esr isn't a problem. I actually have kept a portable 78esr version on hand because it's the last one that allows me to easily import search engines using an old script.

    All is not lost for 78.0 desktop users, if I'm reading gorhill right the necessary API is there so it's just a matter of going into the manifest file and bumping the minimum down 1 version. Those on any 68.0 version will lose out although the filters should still update for the foreseeable future.

    Good, glad to see if it helps people get more out of the perfectly fine OS. Same with XP and Windows 7.

    Isn't there a kernelex project for Vista? Windows 7 has VxKex and from what I've read the developer is working on making Chromium 110+ compatible with Windows 7/8. Googlisms is a good word for it, they've been polluting the internet for years with their "standards" that everyone sheepishly follows. Even Mozilla, with the exception that they haven't gone Chromium... yet.

    It's probably javascript related, I use the newer Firefox without a problem. And yes, you can mail in the bill but my experience with that has at times been less than stellar. On more than one occasion they didn't process it for several months, even going so far as cutting me off because according to them they never received it. This even though it was mailed several weeks before the due date. Only paying online seems to have resolved the issues. Will have to look into 360EE and see what's that like.

    Still enjoying these older versions but sadly more sites refuse to render, especially bill-paying ones that require signing in such as these two: https://www.nationalgridus.com/Default.aspx https://www.spectrum.com/ Some other sites won't direct properly and you just get a message like this: "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." What is the procedure for reporting, should we go to the Pale Moon website or file a bug? They complain over there if you mention any of these builds but Pale Moon isn't rendering these pages either.

    The CB version I'm using is 0.0.5.8.9, it works perfectly from Serpent versions 45.0 to 55.0. Haven't even looked to see if there are any newer CB versions beyond that.

    The 52.0 and 55.0 browsers are running so much better now, far less issues with sticking and performance loss. Sadly, more and more sites are becoming incompatible with them, figured that was inevitable given their age. Not sure what happened with this one, it was working not long ago but if you click the "Pay your bill" link it just spins forever: These are long threads so apologize if it has already been discussed: https://www.spectrum.com/

    Is this what was causing performance issues with certain sites? I've been using Serpent 52 all day yesterday and today and it's worked wonderfully with no UI slow downs or sticking. Granted it's not as fast as the newer versions but given it is older technology it still works well enough with the recent updates, at least in my experience. The hardware specs can sometimes make all the difference.

    52.0 and 55.0 are working excellent for me as well. Sites like twitter and hotmail would tend to bog the browser down but those issues appear to have been fixed. Well done Moonchild and Roy.
  17. DanR20
    @roytam1 Using today's UXP 52 and the performance seems to have greatly improved, even after long periods of usage. Don't know if this is coming from Moonchild's side or yours but thought I'd let you know.

    @roytam1 Hi Roy, really appreciate all the work you do keeping these browsers going. The blank page problem is fixed, thanks for that. There appears to be some performance-related change in today's release similar to 52.0 after visiting certain sites. It doesn't seem as bad but it is slowing over time. Maybe it's the ResizeObserver API? Just guessing but will keep using it and let you know.
  19. DanR20
    It does in 45.0 too. It's a recent bug in 55.0.
  20. DanR20
    @roytam1 Been using today's 55.0 and it keeps getting better and better. The github polyfill is coming in now, nice job. The perfomance is still excellent, currently on Win10 and will try XP tomorrow The only bug I'm running into is some javascript pages are still coming up blank, is there anything that can be done? In 45.0 and 52.0 they work fine: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/local/louisiana/new-orleans-obituaries

    @roytam1 The 2022-Apr-02 Serpent 55.0 version won't allow the creation of a new tab. I tried it with a new profile with the same result.
  22. DanR20
    Tried it and not working here either, would love to see that get fixed. Been using it on XP and without question despite a few bugs it's the best pre-Quantum version I've experienced. Works great on Win7 and 10 as well. There must be a reason Moonchild abandoned 55.0 for an earlier one but glad he did since it would probably have ended up with the same performance issues that PM and 52 have.

    Regarding the new version 55.0: in that weather site posted it will come in if noscript 5.1.9 options/embeddings "Forbid WebGL" is unchecked. That setting is for untrusted sites only but even when weather.com is made trusted it still fails to load. There appears to be a new interaction problem with noscript since the previous version didn't have this, at least with WebGL. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/96f2f84af9a5f5d452eb0574d4e4d8a840c71b05e22264ebdc0056433a642c84 Except for the rendering of blank sites here and there 55.0 continues to have overall good performance.
  24. DanR20
    Hi Roy, Looks like you did a lot of work with 55.0, nice job. The good news is I've been using it for a while and it doesn't seem to have lost performance. I'm able to use it on Twitter and other troublesome sites with 52.0 without issues so far. There are some sites where I'm running into javascript not functioning properly. For example these pages are coming up blank when you click on one of the popular cities links. Works normally in 52.0. Maybe just a pref setting? https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/local The radar on this weather site won't come in or let me do a search on the top box. Not sure if it's noscript-related but the previous 55.0 wasn't a problem: https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/96f2f84af9a5f5d452eb0574d4e4d8a840c71b05e22264ebdc0056433a642c84

    Maybe roytam or someone like-minded could take an interest. It would probably entail some work and time but would keep these older versions going a little longer. That is until google forces something else "new" on everyone that requires only the most modern and up to date. IOW google chrome.
