That was actually the first time I used it. Unsure if you can filter hosts/files/content as well as with Proxomitron, but Proxomitron's future looks bleak if it can't be trusted to reliably load web pages as-is.
In any case, I don't see myself using such tools often as is, regular expressions give me headache. Fortunately, I feel the need to use them very rarely.

Hi.
I assume you meant the LAV codecs? They are in the first page of this thread.
Here are the links:32bit LAV dlls are in separated package (extracted from K-Lite codec pack 13.5.5)
https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav.7z32bit NoSSE (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build)
https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-mmx.7z32bit No ASM (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build, if build above doesn't work on your processor)
https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-noasm.7zChoose one of these links, depending on your processor. The first link has 3 files inside, and the other 2 links have 2 files inside.
In case you have K-Lite Codec Pack installed, these shouldn't be needed in the absence of special requirements (no SSE and such).

I don't think that's it - the above resource doesn't exist, yet "uBlock filters - ads" loads without error in uBO 1.54 (in Edge 109).
That's what I assumed as I don't remember seeing any other network request failing. But it fails on Edge too and that doesn't cause exclamation mark there. Version differences?

Show me an extension that can disable video ads on its own on https://www.24ur.com/ without breaking the player, eg. https://www.24ur.com/novice/tujina/obstreljevanje-z-verzi-ukrajinski-in-ruski-vojaki-prepevali-katjuso.html. Funny how easily these content / ad blockers can be defeated if you're just a little bit creative.
Hint: You have to defuse one function in the site's main JavaScript file.
Edit: Chaining IMA SDK Plugin like that is quite effective as the ad blocker will break the player, user will turn it off the ad blocker, see that playback works and blame the ad blocker.

OK, can confirm the ad comes through on the linked video. Should've checked more videos. Doesn't come through on Edge with uBlock 1.54 with default settings.
AFAIK, new uBlock supports extended filter syntax. Unless the old uBlock was updated to understand it, it could be that some rules on updated lists are simply ignored (best case scenario I assume).

Works fine in the upstream Pale Moon.
I also get that error in the picture, but it relates to the request to https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters-2024.txt?_=236670. It's not 2024 yet, so maybe it's normal?
Other files are acquired successfully: filters.txt, filters-2020.txt, filters-2021.txt, filters-2022.txt, filters-2023.txt
YouTube remains ad-free.

We can only speculate.
I'll just keep assuming everyone's a liar and a thief. Can't be disappointed then.

Roy doesn't sign binaries, so that's one thing that lowers the costs. Not related to money, but he also seems to have a lot of energy to keep things going. My batteries need a lot of recharges in comparison, LOL!
I also wondered about other community forums. So MSFN needs donations to keep going, but what about others that don't ask for donations? Are owners just rich? Or just have money to spare?

@NotHereToPlayGames
You're probably one of the few who keep tabs on Speedometer.

IDK, I never felt the need to keep the old version of UXP based browser, but I strictly use Pale Moon and Pale Moon alone. Fortunately there's no difference in web compatibility between Pale Moon and Basilisk. The former's probably the leanest UXP browser in existence. I certainly have zero need for the code supporting legacy OS that's in roytam1's forks...that and he keeps other questionable code in Serpent, eg. useless Widevine code.
On 10/18/2019 at 4:39 AM, win32 said:I found isometric 2D games and noticed they wanted Windows 7 (DX11/12) or worse! I wonder what DX11/12 would even bring to them.
No one in their right mind would develop an engine using deprecated APIs. Intel Arc GPUs don't even do D3D9 natively and many of us have run our old games through wrappers translating to D3D11 or 12 for compatibility and performance reasons plus various other quality-of-life improvements that modern systems can bring to the table.
One interesting example for instance, my old favorite Drakan: Order of the Flame from 1999, years ago I was modding the game to push for a higher drawing distance, this was all done with modding of game data files using original and very clunky tool designers used developing the game. Hats to down to them for being able to make the game as they did with those horrible tools at their disposal! So while the wrapper won't turn an ancient engine into a modern one, D3D11 drivers are so performant you can get noticeably higher frame rate than you would when running natively.
Similar can be observed with Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven when you start pushing the original engine past intended limits. This old relic also has a famous bug with shadows, they used some odd technique that wasn't recommended even in the old times on the hardware of the time and was probably a quick hack while leaving the behavior at the mercy of the driver. I forgot what was the D3D function they passed different parameter depending on the GPU vendor, but regardless of tweaked value, you would get awful z-fighting with the shadows, so crazy flickering. Somehow the issue just isn't there with dgVoodoo2 or at least much less prominent, I'd have to check, 'been a while since I played it. Even when the game was current, one of the utility programs intercepting D3D calls had a specific "Mafia Shadow Fix". I forgot what it was called and what it was for, I think it was for tweaking 3D output of games and this was one of the game specific fixes it had, but it wasn't a sure thing, I still remember the crazy flickering with the old Radeon 4890 GPU from 2009.
Years ago, I was also experimenting with WINE on Linux. Drakan always ran like crap on it until DXVK was developed. Since then, you can chain dgVoodoo2 and DXVK together, so it goes DirectDraw/Direct3D 6->Direct3D 11->Vulkan. Performance hit is very small when you compare it against Windows with just dgVoodoo2.
So the simple reason is not the feature set, but that D3D11/D3D12 are in line with what's supported on current GPUs the same way old APIs had 1st class support on GPUs of their time. That and the hardware simply works differently. Fixed-function pipeline is ancient history and AFAIK, wherever supported today for old stuff, it's emulated internally.
Also, creative and innovative people in the field won't waste their time with old stuff, they want to work on something new/better.
Late edit: Hm, might be misremembering, Mafia is a bit slower with dgVoodoo, but no z-fighting when it comes to shadows.

Seems likely, consumer software is undervalued you know.

To be nitpicky, pretty sure it works on Chrome from half-year ago, at least it seems that way. Though not showing CSS is indeed a separate problem.

From Pale Moon forum:
QuoteWe need your help!
Operating the Pale Moon servers, sites, domains, and getting certificates, code signing and more isn't free (or cheap).
Unfortunately there has been a pretty sharp downward trend in what DuckDuckGo's search partnership provides to the project, so now more than ever, we rely heavily on your generous contributions and donations.If you find Pale Moon in any way useful, please consider one or more of the following options to help out:
1. Donating to the project directly through PayPal or Ko-fi.
2. Purchasing challenge coins.
3. Setting your search engine to the included DuckDuckGo and disabling your ad blocker on the DuckDuckGo domain (so they can show sponsored results).Doing so will go a long way to make sure we can stay afloat and independent! In addition, Moonchild would still like to pay rent and eat

I don't think I ever used a computer that would even get 80 points there.
Should've said 100, my laptop at work actually gets 90 with Edge 114.
Did I mention that I had to use Teams recently at work and it just decided to update mid-call (so it threw me out)?

Surprised my current PC still works, the ones that were at the house in late nineties and early 2000s were nothing like it quality wise. I'm only looking at one bad data disk, bought in 2010. It's not too urgent as I have two other external disks.
Even got 2 extra GB of RAM this year for the PC, but only because I found the stick at some company that takes used hardware and sells it. Generally really not comfortable with the idea of buying used stuff from random people online...

<OT> Well, if that would impress you, you can just consider me a modern OS user, but just love tinkering around with the old OSes inside VMs and treating them as being on real hardware. xd <OT>
I did the tinkering with old OS as well, must have been the influence of the forum (registered for something entirely else here), maybe I've spent too much time here, the old systems aren't even my most genuine interest, but again, not really fitting anywhere, as I probably said million times by now.
Anyway, don't mind me, carry on...

If you ask me, it's all in the hands of the few very rich individuals owning large corporations, private jets, yachts, whatever. You holding onto that ancient Windows XP computer? Please...
Get this, our so called president preaches to us common folks that we should get by with less while she herself is using a private yet. I won't go out of the way to save the environment, but I won't feel guilty buying something new every once in a while either.

Could pretty much agree with this every new year:
Better not watch the recap of 2023 xD. New year, same bul*****, possibly some new thrown on top.
Money may not buy you happiness, but if you're one of the bastards with a lot of it at your disposal, you can at least buy your way out of a lotta bullcrap you have to deal with otherwise.

If only people here updated their OS every once in a while.
Am I the only one that finds it odd that people here want to have everything updated except the OS? No, those silly POS updates or whatever they call them don't make your OS updated.

Right now, I can't as it seems they don't play them every time. But uBlock with all default settings may still break the video player.
