UCyborg

Duh, MSFN can't possibly compete with XDA Developers. And there's a bunch of us for whom even Windows 8.1 is too old. It's still home to some useful programs for Windows 8+, OldNewExplorer thread has over 2,5 million views. Imagine the traffic the site would get throughout the years if it was also home to ClassicShell. There are still good drama/toxicity free parts of the forum (what could be called "good old MSFN"), they have one common denominator, not being visited by Vista/XP users. From what I could gather, Malwarebytes Premium specifically refers to their paid product. I thought there was a difference between anti-malware and anti-virus, but what do I know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software

I've no answers, but you're brave for visiting New Reddit with an UXP browser. This one's not the highest, some other Reddit pages put browser in the loop where it puts 100% load on one CPU core. Must be bad for laptop battery and electric bill.

I already explained an issue with wallapop and minimumFractionDigits/maximumFractionDigits, need to do some search & replace in served JavaScript with Proxomitron or similar. The issue is currently in https://uk.wallapop.com/_next/static/chunks/9153-b1a4057bd47ff04a.js. Find: {style:"currency",currency:n,maximumFractionDigits:r} And replace: {style:"currency",currency:n,minimumFractionDigits:r,maximumFractionDigits:r}

There's nothing particularly special about the old VM, it was setup few years ago (2018-2020) with Win98 SE, drivers, KernelEx 4.5.2, VLC Player and practically left alone ever since, so technically it's still fresh install. Guess I could start again from zero and use USB 1.1 instead and no KernelEx (the latter is disabled by default on current install, though). I suspect "broken PCI bus" doesn't really have anything to do with performance, turning off 3D acceleration in VirtualBox slows down things further. 3D performance was always poor in my experience in both VirtualBox and VMware, even on supported OS. Anyway, I just tried it out of curiosity, not for seriously running games on it. All my old games work on Windows 10.

There's mobile section. It's already "mobile" if you visit it from such device. Responsive design

I'm guilty of posting a copy-paste of *.inf as well. Compiled binaries are surely more problematic. Don't know why I bothered with Adobe for so long, well, maybe not technically for so long considering I don't read that much PDFs, but anyway, should've checked out alternatives sooner. Switched to PDF-XChange Editor and I'm happier, it even comes with a shell-extension so you can view PDF metadata in File Explorer.

One interesting area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unofficial_patch Moderators here might be more afraid of Microsoft.

Was it, though? I'm not an expert so can't comment with certaintly, just read something along the lines no license means exclusive rights to the author. And posting how-to modify rather than modified extension may not necessarily be an issue. But consult the lawyer to be sure...

So what license does the browser come with? Because if it's restrictive, then we have clear double standards on the forum (and you're in violation). Disallow kernel extensions, allow hacked web browsers.

All latest versions of these are Manifest V3 extensions and this browser doesn't do Manifest V3 extensions.

I tried SoftGPU and GL Checker reports 3D HW acceleration works. I got an error from the installer that it didn't find the working PCI bus. Not sure if related, but on the old VM I was testing, USB 2.0 was enabled and NUSB drivers were installed. VM was run with VirtualBox 7.0.10 (current version ATM). Still, games are very slow, about 20 - 50 FPS in Half-Life in OpenGL mode in Hazard Course. Task Manager on the host indicated GPU's 3D capabilities were in use. Half-Life is pretty primitive, I guess anything more demanding would be a slideshow. In fact, even Half-Life's D3D renderer ran at about 10 FPS or less, that's all in 640x480. Haven't used such low resolution in practice in many years.

I guess it depends on who you ask. Some recent positive feedback on PM forum. So there are some users for whom recent updates have brought the browser back from the dead. Can also use Nextcloud at workplace without having to alter its scripts and another web app here also works now without having to replace that one JavaScript file. There's only an issue with one draggable dialog made with jQuery, it has a couple of dropdown selects and when you want to grab the scrollbar of the one with most options that has it, the scrollbar doesn't move, but the dialog does. It didn't have that problem many versions ago.

Ha, my PC's from 2009 with a GPU from 2014. Web browsing isn't a big deal, Chromium Edge still flies on this computer, more modern gaming though, that's really pushing it, still, I recently made it through Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. With a bit of patience, it's possible, it takes cca. over 5 minutes to load a map (game world) and unlike Call of Duty 2 on a 256 MB RAM PC, where only map loading times are of concern, which was actually sold with the 256 MB RAM min requirement with the note in the documentation that map loading needs more RAM and is therefore slower on min-specced PC, CoD: MW Remastered was sold with 8 GB requirement as a minimum and consequently, there'll be slowdowns when reaching new areas. They put a warning before you start it: Yup, the indicator in the upper right corner of Task Manager is correct, that's 4 GB of DDR2 RAM straight from 2009, 3 HDDs spinning at 7200 RPM, also not visible a quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 920, not as speedy, more on the slower side, but I felt like supporting AMD back then, Intel's rich anyway. And that's pretty much it, my daily driver running Win10, I must be an oddball among Win10 users, at least from what I'm reading, but getting the very most out of this hardware and not complaining much, but I don't push it to the limit with period-incorrect games most of the time that fill almost entire RAM and video RAM and when conditions are right, put 100% or near 100% load on both CPU and GPU and obviously also giving good exercise to two hard disks (games are always run from a separate HDD here). All this aside, I agree web should be more accessible. Facebook has shown (among others) they can make it so convoluted that you can't even tell what's missing with a slightly older browser. So even the idea of polyfills falls apart because what do you even need to polyfill?

None that I'm aware of. But honestly, I have the impression that there's only a handful of people out there that are nitpicky to the last detail about licensing and branding when it comes to these extensions, eg. there's a fork of DownThemAll! and GreaseMonkey out there adapted for SeaMonkey, none of them have their name or icons changed and nobody makes a fuss about it.

Works in Chrome 114, Firefox 110, SeaMonkey 2.53.17, doesn't work in Pale Moon 32.3.1. https://www.w3schools.in/html/marquee-tag It's smooth only on Chromium-based browser here, it's jerky on Firefox.

My answer to the original question is no. Its adoption will increase with time and more development from other software vendors will be focused on it, in fact it already is.

If anyone follows SeaMonkey's development, one might have realized UXP still supports a bunch of Mozilla only JavaScript syntax that was never standardized that will never be encountered on the web because no other browser implements it. Wouldn't it make sense to throw it out? Maybe it's an opportunity to cut on unnecessary complexity. I mean the only things that might still use it are some extensions, for which solution is simple - fix them.

I don't know, post the link in the dedicated forum thread? Have you read this? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ Also, extensions aren't compiled executables, so technically most of the source is already in the .xpi file, so you're already providing the source that way, exception being binary components (if any exist) and I guess whatever other resources that aren't code. At least that's my understanding, taking into account the past drama between Mozilla/Debian developers and MCP/FreeBSD developers/roytam1/feodor2. Hosting it on GitHub or the like would allow the public to see the history of code changes that were made and the ability for users to get future updates to the extension directly through browser's Add-ons Manager. The latter requires update.rdf to be hosted on some web server, not necessarily GitHub, though if you use the latter to host the code repo, it makes sense to also use it for clients' ability to check for updates.

Slovenia was on fire last year, this year 2/3 of the country is compromised due to floods. https://apnews.com/article/slovenia-floods-damage-evacuations-roads-bridges-5d81e7b87261fc97f81f384ca52e0f99 Well, humans f*** with mother nature, now mother nature f***s with humans. An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth I suppose.

Git for Windows on Windows 8/7 is going bye-bye, following Cygwin's and MSYS2's lead as there is dependency on MSYS2. https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.41.0.windows.3 32-bit version is also being phased out.

I use older version of Via that uses Chromium WebView on Android, super important for RAM usage as that keeps it single-process, at least on older 32-bit Androids. I preferred the older lighter Chromium 87 base, but the bloated web disagrees. So ended up with 114 recently...cca. 30 MB larger APK at least if I remember correctly. I'm not throwing that phone away just yet, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore, climate change is here, hope you don't live near the river or under the hill as mother nature may decide to throw your house away. Though if tornado comes, that won't help either.

Guess it comes as no surprise that sidebars on Facebook don't render in UXP browsers since even a browser as recent as Chrome 94 from September 2021 doesn't render them.

Somewhat related, but Windows also doesn't bother stuffing multiple services in a single process anymore by default, at least when 3,5+ GB of RAM is available. Funny, this practice of stuffing services in single process (aka. svchost.exe) was even listed as being outdated in the one long list of complaints of flaws about Windows at http://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html. So MS does listen to customer feedback every once in a while.

Don't know where you're getting such numbers, the best I get on average is 83 (rounded down) on work laptop (Edge 114, 40 Mbps D/L speed, Intel Core i7-6700HQ @ 2,60 GHz).
