    Another app for managing KeePass databases is KeePassDX. There's also Libre version on GitHub. FreeOTP+ (GitHub) for managing 2FA authentications alone.

    But he is on older NT 2016 OS I believe. Maybe this section needs to be renamed to Browsers working on Retro NT-Family OSes?

    Had no idea what to put on the screens:

    I cannot personally confirm this, but I've read on Reddit that PlayStation 3 still does Netflix in 2024.

    It was always good to have the overpowered PC relative to the era of the game you wanted to play, assuming going for the most optimal experience, though "playable" bar is indeed much lower. Taskbar button labels are enabled by disabling taskbar button combining (right-click on the taskbar->Taskbar settings). The behavior can be further tuned on per-app basis with 7+ Taskbar Tweaker if desired. Quick Launch can be added by right-click on the taskbar->Toolbars->New toolbar...->browse to %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch->Select Folder. What bugs me a bit about the taskbar are phantom pinned items of programs that are created when moving its windows between monitors. I have set each taskbar to only show buttons of programs of the monitor it's on with button grouping disabled so can move buttons of the same program around freely.

    It probably depends on what sites you visits. Still using PM for real and despite rantings, I don't switch to any other browser permanently. Guess it's the attachment to the setup I made in the older Firefox days, which admittedly is a bit outdated due to useful extensions being abandoned, but with other browsers I'm just bothered by other things, so sticking to what I'm used to. UXP is at its all time best as far as web compatibility goes.

    So I'd need a new computer to build Floorp from source, but with new computer I wouldn't need to build it from source because provided binaries' system requirements would already be satisfied! The irony...

    Every user agent has Mozilla/5.0, it's just meaningless at this point. You can either create a special user agent override for DuckDuckGo or turn on Firefox compatibility in settings under Advanced, as @roytam1 said. On official Pale Moon, it looks like like this then: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/6.7 Firefox/102.0 PaleMoon/33.4.0.1 For adding exception just for DDG, open about:config page, right-click on any entry->New->String->type general.useragent.override.duckduckgo.com->OK->Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0->OK. Well, you could add PaleMoon/Goanna parts if you wanted to emulate behavior of Firefox compatibility setting, but as a hopefully temporary workaround, I wouldn't make a fuss about it.

    Ha, this isn't worth bothering unless you have at least 16 GB of RAM and probably SSD disk as well.

    It looks like your typical Firefox isn't even truly portable these days, even when you supposedly get "portable" version. Well, Windows sucks as it is and writes forensic evidence to registry that you've run something, but so called "portable" Firefox writes its own trace as well! Just check HKCU\Software\Mozilla... Back in the day, portable also meant no purposefully written traces outside its own folder. Regarding telemetry, guess those Japanese merely claim they didn't add their own telemetry, Mozilla still does it instead.

    BTW, why not at least use newer Speedometer for more capable browsers? I only tried Floorp briefly at work months ago, but wanted to get more familiar with its bells and whistles in a cooler environment. Didn't know back then it's SSE4.1+ only. I know I could probably build from source and turn off SSE flags, but I hate building from source unless I really have to...
  12. UCyborg
    You're comparing 115 ESR codebase with 128 ESR codebase with altered compiler flags though. This old dinosaur won't run anything SSE4.1. I can't get myself to throw it away just yet since it still works well otherwise. And even if I don't throw it away, it'll probably just collect dust in the basement.

    So much for privacy claims. Is there a single normal web browser out there these days? Edit: Oh, IceCat, kinda overlooked... Was just looking to have a bit more updated Firefox install, though TBH I'm not sure it's even worth the bother.
  14. UCyborg
    Finally got around installing this browser at home desktop. Got crash of default-browser-agent.exe during install, it crashed in mozglue.dll with exception 0xC000001D, stands for EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION. Obviously, the browser didn't launch afterwards either. Judging by where x64dbg halts, looks like it wants at least SSE4.1 instructions. Found this issue afterwards and looks like it won't be addressed.

    It's getting old. Old men yelling at the clouds? Though I get the same vibes on this forum. But their work is still impressive, especially considering it's not copy-paste of current Firefox or Chrome.
  16. UCyborg
    Yes, you're using uncertified browser and not pretending to be using a certified browser. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31724 Check your user agent, should include Firefox for DDG to be happy. Did you mean Visual Studio 2013? What's the difference? They all look the same to me when it comes to core stuff. From what I remember, MS didn't offer separate IDEs for different languages since late 90s. I should probably re-download the favorite 1080p stuff in H.264. I noticed in this video when set to H.264 @ 1080p, bitrate goes to about 5000 kbps in some parts, eg. around 12:20, at least that's what PotPlayer shows. Another performance thread popped up in recent times. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31703 I have a hunch it could be faster if anyone had any clue how to make it faster.

    Did anything come out of getting GPU canvas acceleration working and WebGL running on GPU on XP?

    Ant Video Downloader works with V3/VORAPIS frontend after removing now non-working specific mods for dealing with stock YouTube. Or maybe I had some other problem that it wasn't working before... I gave up on getting it working on official client, too complicated. There's no formal release of updated version of this extension, I just mess with it every once in a while. Though YouTube's been' using POST requests for a while, few months back you just had to replace ump=1 with ump=0 in captured requests to get actual video/audio data. I don't know solution for V3 and getting to age restricted videos without login. My Google account must be over 14 years old by now, I think I'm too far gone to unGoogle myself at this point. I like using unofficial clients for their services. I noticed they still send JavaScript for legacy browsers if you don't use plain Firefox/Chrome user agent, but those don't make UI any more responsive when used with an UXP based browser.

    Never saw that banner either, even logged in and without uBO. Don't use any media downloading extension, at least not in Chrome world (not that I spend much time in Chrome world, at least not on PC). Don't even know what's reputable and limitations of web extensions usually require special extra installs for some tasks. Ant Video Downloader was great back in the day, didn't do shady stuff in the background, still usable for some sites on UXP based browsers, there were no special extra installs, just point it to ffmpeg.exe for handling merging of separate video / audio streams. All web extensions require a specifically programmed (generally referred to as Native Messaging Host) application to be able to somewhat breaks the chains of crippled web extension APIs to do something on the host PC and AFAIK Chromium has the most crippled APIs, Firefox's implementation is slightly less crippled. There is a newer webext version of Ant Video Downloader, but no longer developed.

    Regarding VORAPIS V3, even with free open source projects, there is an assumption there are "good" programmers looking over the code. End users won't be looking at it, so from their perspective, there's no difference between free open source and proprietary / commercial / obfuscated / whatever. Both feodor2 and roytam1 are strangers to me, what reason do I have to trust any of them? So is the entire Moonchild's crew. I recently compiled whole operating system from source code, LineageOS 14.1 for my smartphone, didn't look at the single line of code, except one random script involved in certificate generation process, which is really part of the build system, not even part of the OS. Again, it was all done by strangers, just downloading source code took hours and consumed many tens of gigabytes of disk space. Edit: The point is, there's no real reason to trust anyone, it's all just lottery and dumb luck.

    DASH streams where audio and video are separated cause two instances of plugin to be created in HTML, at least that's what I saw when inspecting code when trying VLC, so no wonder it's a mess. I didn't expect WMP plugin to work on Win10, looks like all interfaces behind the scenes are still there. I never actually opened WMP itself on Win10. I guess it's true YouTube is cheapening on bitrate when it comes to 1080p streams with VP9 codec, judging by trying few different videos from recent years in PotPlayer and looking at the bitrate. Now where's that blog post that specifically implied VP9 being higher quality in context of YouTube? Isn't it just a specific subset of users? I think it's a coincidence that MSFN happens to give the impression of being "the last XP stronghold", connected to unusually long life span of the OS. The difference between XP and UXP is that XP was abandoned and didn't learn any new tricks since the 2000s. If you can even put it that way as it's an old dried out branch of Windows codebase at one particular point in history.

    That delay with minimizing using taskbar button while using CuteButtons, it's only really pronounced when also tab hoarding. I also have ColorfulTabs and TabMix Plus active, but only tested with those always active, didn't try any combination without them.
  23. UCyborg
    He was asking about Win10, where you still need original Chrome or Firefox for least restrictions.
  24. UCyborg
    Can't get WMP plugin to play anything with audio except "Low Definition MP4". CPU usage is kinda high with WMP plugin, it's better with VLC plugin, but there are no controls... I tried those on Win10 install though, I no longer have XP install on this hardware. Is WMP plugin version 1.0.0.8 the latest? It's 17 years old!

    I recently added Pure URL to Pale Moon. I'm not sure which one is better in terms of parameters they look for by default, the former or CleanLinks2. I had to remove "cid" from Pure URL's default list to be able to complete purchase on https://play.google.com/. The site otherwise reported 400 error about not correctly formed request when password prompt is supposed to show to confirm the purchase.
