    Precisely! You're welcome ; hopefully, you're not part of the "crowd" here that have publicly stated "I don't bring anything new/useful" to other MSFN members; in any case, I still haven't solved the Serpent 52 "case" you reported and I confirmed ...

    ... There is, but it's blocked unwittingly (i.e. not because of your own actions ) ; inside NM28's "about:config" editor, modify the pref general.useragent.override.google.com to a value of Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0 Then, both the homepage of userstyles.org, as well as individual userstyle pages will display as expected!

    That site loads OK here (latest NM28, otherwise fresh profile), with ONLY uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 installed (its default filters, only ) : Perhaps you're blocking too much Google-stuff, and their "app" doesn't like that ... ... Can confirm : Seems to be JS related : TypeError: o.user is undefined All these are recent page errors, after the site's (basically, an overbloated "app" ) "overhaul" ...

    WebRender, though, is highly unlikely to make it in official UXP, because it's written in Rust ; even if it, somehow, gets ported to UXP, porting such (Rust) code to be compatible with NT<6.1 (for consumption by members here ) would be even more difficult (not impossible, as MyPal68 has proved, but difficult ) ...

    In my 2008-era, Vista SP2 (32-bit) laptop, integrated GPU, mostly everything is offloaded to the CPU when on St52; see below... ... I should be so lucky :

    Hi ; most sadly, since some years ago, the web isn't designed for "faint-at-heart" (i.e. "legacy"/under-resourced) H/W, and the social media sites (like the ones you referenced) are spearheading this "trend" ; it isn't only CSS-related issues (like the one discussed recently here) that heavily tax old H/W, it's the rampant use of heavy scripting, often times unnecessarily , use of blobs of JS many MiBs in size just to render a table of text, use of WASM, the notion of "treating" a browser like an all-purpose media player (lots of embedded HD still and moving pictures, full HD video) and the quick adoption of features compatible only with the recent versions of Chrome(+Edge+Safari)/Firefox ... The UXP-based browsers (one of which is NM28) can't fully cope with "that" web, especially on "era-incorrect" H/W ; use of, first of all, a competent adblocker (or even script blocker) will block several of the scripting (tracking/mining/statistics/advertising) not really required for correct page rendering; if you want to mess with CSS, you need a Style Manager (like Stylem that NHTPG recommended), into which you have to "install" userstyles savvy members of the community/coders author to tackle several issues in sites; if you want to mess with JS, then you need a Userscript Manager (like the one your compatriot, nicolaasjan , recommended) and, again, "install" userscripts (custom JS and/or CSS code that aims to modify the default code pages serve) found on-line (e.g. on Greasy Fork); unless you want to learn to author Userstyles/Userscripts yourself, there's only a very small learning curve associated with the use of those extensions (Stylem, GMFPM, etc.) ... Not 100% sure if that's what you meant , but indeed UXP-based browsers have a setting to turn OFF/ON all page styling : Kind regards.

    ... As a side note, the extension natively supports the official Basilisk browser application; the XML block below: </em:targetApplication> <em:targetApplication name="Basilisk"> <Description em:id="{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}" em:minVersion="52.0" em:maxVersion="52.*"/> </em:targetApplication> suggests it should install (and auto-update, as needed ) on Serpent 52.9.0, too ; FWIW, should you wish to install on St55, you'd have to "raise" em:maxVersion to "55.0.0" ... Greetings.

    ... Speaking of the Gitea instance hosting server: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30183 In St52 (where that RPMO page was previously successfully loaded) : ... and trying to load it for the first time in NM28:

    To add to Roy's reply, Mozilla's "BugZilla" doesn't only contain "bugs" in the sense most of us we'd use that term for ; "bugzilla.mozilla.com" has many entries for purely "new features" (these days, mostly backported from Chromium) or new "executive decisions" implementation; e.g. Mozilla dropping support for NT < 6.1 was "bug" () #1130266: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130266 When a Bugzilla "entry" is being cited in the UXP repo/changelog, this means that relevant code from that "entry" was used (as a starting point, at least) to implement a similar feature/fix a similar "bug"/etc. in UXP itself; after all, Mozilla is UXP's "upstream"... I hope this clears things fully now ...

    If you indeed load (in a UXP-based browser): https://old.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/15ogxfp/marker_stuck_on_void_teleportation_room/?rdt=47005 and pay closer attention to the page's dark background, you'll hopefully be able to see that a huge (1780x1000) background (PNG) image, https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/EPTJlCSEAevLWzc46Lz6YNxuxSrNXzQMuoquXYgKgsI.png is slowly moving from right to left ...

    ... Does that mean you have an account with reddit (assuming those are "reddit preferences") ? FWIW, the userscript I linked to allows for "anonymous" redirection to "old.reddit.com" ... FWIW, I, too, can confirm that when loading https://old.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/15ogxfp/marker_stuck_on_void_teleportation_room/?rdt=47005 in St52 and that tab is focused, I have insane CPU consumption :

    ... Connecting to various "*onlyfans.com" hostnames through HTTPS with ProxHTTPSProxy as the MITM shouldn't be a problem per se : But in the actual browser (i.e. with a DIRECT connection), the secure connection to "https://ws2.onlyfans.com/ws2g/*" is being upgraded/redirected to a websockets connection, for actual OF content (images, videos, webfonts, etc.) to be correctly loaded/displayed: "https://ws2.onlyfans.com/ws2g/*" => "wss://ws2.onlyfans.com/ws2g/*" In my short tests, this is where ProxHTTPSProxy fails: ... apparently nothing related to "newer" cipher suites and decryption ... ... You're welcome ; even better thing is when wishes actually come true ...

    AIUI, that's the exact case ; Cryptograhy-41.0.0/Rust-1.56 doesn't work in Windows XP SP3, because it (probably) requires APIs/kernel functions not available under NT5.1 (due to Rust-1.56+ ); previous version, Cryptograhy-40.0.2/Rust-1.48, is the last one to work under XP SP3, but its official release requires the SSE2+ instructions set; since cmalex (re)compiles CPython itself and various Python modules from source (to make them compatible with his SSE-only older CPU), he can't produce the requested (updated) binaries on his current setup (he compiles stuff for) ... I think that cmalex specifically asked for such examples : ... Not everyone here will agree with that (I have NHTPG in mind ) ... Best wishes to the both of you ...

    ... Thanks, I guess ; what you didn't include in your OP is the fact the app is a payware, with a "free" 30d trial ...

    I already have CTR installed together with Photonic, thanks ; but the iconsize attribute you suggested is set to its default value of #nav-bar[iconsize='small'] in an effort to save some additional pixels of vertical screen space ; current default setting: OTOH, with #nav-bar[iconsize='large'] the toolbar grows taller by several pixels (due to the bigger/round "back-page" button): I hope the screenshots are good to tell this for yourself ... Thanks and goodnight (hitting bed now, tschüss ) ...
  17. VistaLover
    ... Can I push "my luck" even further? Due to Photonic's imperfect support for WEs, IP Geolocator exhibits a second "bug" there (though it's Photonic that is "bugged" in this case, not by a fault of its author); when one clicks its toolbar icon in the default St52 (Australis) theme, the popup is being sized so as to accommodate all strings, including the UA one: On Photonic however, the popup ends up truncated : Truth be told , I don't have an immediate need for that UA info from inside the IP Geolocator popup, but it's rather a "cosmetic" issue for me, if nothing else ... Can your credo (because not everyone here took Latin at school, it's "belief system") be applied in this second "bug"? Best regards
  18. VistaLover
    Thanks a bunch : (see what I did there? Since you changed your IP to a Greek one, I changed mine to a German one ) Technically speaking, your skilled coding just patched the specific extension to accommodate Photonium, i.e. Photonium itself wasn't patched with a generic fix for all WE toolbar icons (this was asking too much, I fear ) ; FWIW, not all WEs exhibit this very issue on Photonic, e.g. both Stylus and Violentmonkey's icons display correctly (not "oversized", taking the whole toolbar with them ) ... Again, congrats and many thanks !

    Hi again ; at first, I didn't want to further pursue "my" IP-Geolocator issues here, since this is, first and foremost, your own thread; I did bring that extension up, once in a post of mine , because it is the kind of extension with a similar target group like your fork "Check My IP Address & Location" ; then, after reading more closely the title of this thread, it states: Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations so, since IP-Geolocator is indeed compatible with at least one UXP browser (St52 and/or St55) and it requires some "modification/adjustment" to suit my custom needs ,, I wasn't being completely off-topic, was I ? Joking aside, Yes, I made that realisation long ago myself ; this issue isn't, actually, exclusive to IP-Geolocator when the Photonic Complete Theme is being applied to St52; several other WebExtensions that I had tried in the past (and can't remember now off-hand ) manifested the same "huge-icon-when-placed-in-a-toolbar" issue ; all worked well with the default Australis St52 theme! To be fair, Photonic has been developed for either official Pale Moon and/or official Basilisk, none of which currently support add-ons of the WebExtension format; so, the theme's creator (Lootyhoof of MCP) never expected it to be used together with WEs ... OTOH, Australis comes with native support for Fx52-era WEs (and so do some other Complete Themes that originally supported Fx52, e.g. FT DeepDark v14.3), and this support has been inherited and kept in the default (Australis) theme of both St52/55... Unlike you and UCyborg , I don't "speak" CSS, so I'm unable myself to pinpoint what needs to be changed inside Photonic for it to become on par with Australis where WE-toolbar-icons are concerned ; if you do have a clue, please come forth! Thanks in advance .

    OK, you're right, many thanks - just being pedantic , but the "is shown directly (i.e. immediately)" part is only true with my real/default (Greek) IP address; when I fire up my paid-for VPN service (and its app notifies me it has successfully connected to the desired VPN node), clicking on the green/white "IP" toolbar button will take from 10-15sec to display the VPN node's IP address; of course, way less than a full minute! I think that won't be necessary, as I'll be using the "method" you suggested above (i.e. click on the toolbar button and wait for it to display "new" IP address and flag); thanks once more! Planning on any Sommerferien yourself? You probably know how the English saying goes: "All work and no play makes Jack..." ; you do deserve some break, given your many past contributions here ... Keep well !

    Many thanks for your overall efforts and for (finally ) going public with this! I have it installed in latest Serpent 52 (32-bit) since an hour ago, and, AFAICT, everything works according to the advertised functionality! The "1 min" check interval (might want to correct your typo there ) is very handy when you launch your VPN service and want to be quickly notified about your "new" (spoofed) external IP address ; what would be even handier is a function/button to "Check Now" , rather than have to wait for that "one minute" to go by; would this be technically feasible? Thanks in advance ! Addendum: In a similar vein, in Serpent 52/55 I use myself the WebExtension Firefox add-on IP Geolocator: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ip-geolocator/ Latest v2.1.0 works fine in St52, if using the default browser theme: As you can see, the IP flag (and country's two-string code) is displayed inside the toolbar button itself, this means one less click to "view" it (compared to the extension kindly offered here ); another screenshot, this one with the add-on's settings: The IP change alert is done via browser notification, e.g.: The main problem I have with IP Geolocator on St52 is that its toolbar button becomes gigantic when using the third-party complete theme Photonic (my preferred one on St52): ; thus, when on Photonic, I'll be switching to Check My IP Address & Location (of course, since IP Geolocator is a WE, it can't be used with NM28 ) ... Kindest regards ...

    This could be put behind an "about:config" boolean pref , like it's done already for the Firefox/Gecko related UA slices: general.useragent.compatMode.firefox;true general.useragent.compatMode.gecko;true Choose the default value for (suggested pref name): general.useragent.compatMode.goanna as you see fit ...

    ... It does appear your initial concerns on this were justified ; I read the linked article and there's no date there a new decision will be made on the subject in question ; if the worst does indeed come , have any of the "contingency plans" discussed/offered, when you first made this public here, been considered already/at all? IMHO, it'll be too late to do anything "practical" once you wake up to only find you have been isolated from the rest of the digital world; fingers crossed, we won't come to that, but "your" DoJ seem adamant to get a court verdict that is "to their liking" ... Best wishes

    Many thanks @Ben Markson (and @genieautravail ) for your additional, most valuable, input ! ... As it's already apparent , I'm no fan myself of "chatrooms" (I think they're more "youth"-orient(at)ed), but a great fan of "forums", where one can be more verbose and analytic ; I realise, though, I belong to a minority these days ... Yes, the changelog for v5.61 states: ... but their GitHub source repo is weirdly formatted (no individual commit messages) ; the comparison below: https://github.com/mtrojnar/stunnel/compare/stunnel-5.60...stunnel-5.61 is very long and, being a non-coder, I wasn't able to pinpoint the breaking change(s) ; their repo also lacks an issue tracker, so nothing can be reported there ... Their main site claims they still support Windows XP: https://www.stunnel.org/platforms.html ... but probably that list hasn't been updated in a while ... Besides, they no longer provide themselves x86 compiles, 32-bit platform support is now under their "Commercial Support" paid schemes : https://www.stunnel.org/support.html However, there exists a "free" stunnel-users mailing list here , you stand to lose nothing by posting your "issue" there ; alternatively, you can try your luck at the forked repo: https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32/issues/new FWIW, the v5.70 tray icon appears and functions as expected in Vista SP2 32-bit: That "weirdness" is to be expected ; other than that, it does appear that openssl-1.1.1u DLLs load fine in your XP SP3 box ; I was somewhat doubtful before because I had read in the past that 1.1.1+ requires, by default, Vista SP2+ APIs to properly function; but perhaps this is relevant only for the VS2015+ compiled builds, e.g. https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download The 32-bit builds kindly provided by @josealf on GitHub are being compiled on an old GCC version (8.3.0+) with glibc-2.27 (from 2018), perhaps that's the reason NT 5.1 compatibility is being preserved in the produced binaries ... And some final stunnel "trivia": The last official 32-bit Windows release was, as is known, v5.49, bundled with openssl-1.0.2-fips and "the lot" compiled with VS2008, all inherently compatible with XP ... It's indeed kind of an irony that openssl was upgraded to v1.1.1 (TLSv1.3 capable) in the immediately next version 5.50, the first to be only offered as a win64-build ; openssl-1.1.1* was being bundled with stunnel v5.50-5.60, while v5.61-5.70 are bundled with openssl-3.0.x (latest LTS channel); josealf's win32 builds are still stuck on the 1.1.1* LTS channel, though (to be EoL'd next month ) ... And that concludes this ...
