I get similar Javascript Console errors in 360EEv11 (chr69-based): Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token . in https://www.rb.cz/scripts/main.9082edf4740251c6.js And this is by simply loading the page; clicking the blue button produces an additional (CSS?) error: problem calling custom script: ReferenceError: $ is not defined at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> ((index):14) Their "main" script uses no less than 110 (!) invocations of the optional chaining operator (?.), an ECMAScript2020 feature (first implemented in Chromium 80/Firefox 74)... The master villain is, again, a Bank URI; perhaps they "feel" using the latest and greatest JS "goodies" makes them look "more safe" in the eyes of their otherwise "clueless" clients ; I'm of the opinion the @NotHereToPlayGames route should be pursued here, too...

@roytam1 Moonchild has withdrawn the PM 30 branch (both releases v30.0.0 & 30.0.1) and now (only) offers, again, PM v29.4.4, while a "security-only" release v29.4.5 is in the works... The PM 30 milestone will be re-engineered, with a strong probability of the dual GUID system - as was in v29.1.1 - coming back, and a fresh v30.1.0 will (after v29.4.5) be released in "due course"... So, perhaps, it'd be prudent not to hasten merging "current" GRE into "our" UXP tree (as suggested by https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commits/custom ) ; what are your plans? Many thanks!

Sadly , that "format" of yours no longer produces the "calendar for a specific year" in Tycho-based New Moon 27, so users of that (e.g soggi) and even-older-engine browsers can't profit from it... Works OK, though, for UXP-based browsers ...

Firefox Quantum 63.0, to be exact (less finished implementations were behind a disabled pref in immediately previous Fx versions) ... I, personally, don't give that test the credence/importance others do... Have often found it to misrepresent browser features (especially when it comes to the non-mainstream browser engines), so my advice is to take its reported results "cum grano salis"... According to this UXP open issue, https://repo.palemoon.org/mcp-graveyard/UXP/issues/1361 Shadow DOM v1 is still marked as unfinished (further below in the issue, they cite Element.attachShadow() Element.shadowRoot() DocumentOrShadowRoot.activeElement as having been implemented...) Relevant GRE issue https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/GRE/issues/3009 signals Shadow DOM support is still not "FULL" and, of course, WebComponents support (of which both ShadowDOM+CustomElements are integral parts) is still marked as unimplemented... https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/GRE/issues/3011

... But you did quote in your previous answer @Ben Markson's post about the "mozlz4_edit" add-on (which he installed in FirefoxESR 52.9.0) and that was the bit that got me sort of confused ... Anyhow, there's no point in flogging a dead horse, by now I think the both of us made really clear what we intended to state... Have a nice night, spring already came here in the Northern Hemisphere (but it's awfully cold right now, despite... ) Later addition: soggi commented: This wouldn't have worked in any case , because the "mozlz4_edit" (Fx) extension is of the "Web Extension" format, not compatible with New Moon 28 (and it still wouldn't serve any purpose had it been compatible, because NM28 doesn't use the mozlz4 compression for any of its profile files ...).

This is ONLY applicable as-is for New Moon 27/28 (and possibly some other browsers like BNav & K-Meleon, which I don't use myself); FxESR 52.9.x, St52 & St55 by default DON'T store search engines inside a profile "searchplugins" directory, but inside a profile search.json.mozlz4 file - I thought I was clear on that... If you want to import a manually crafted XML-format search plugin in, e.g., St52 without an extension, you'd first have to manually create a "searchplugins" directory inside the browser's profile (it isn't there by default), place within the XML file and RESTART the browser; then the XML file is internally converted to the JSON format and stored inside the compressed search.json.mozlz4 file (this procedure mimics a profile "upgrade"), after which time you can safely delete the "searchplugins" folder, it served its purpose... What is "cumbersome" for one person might not be for another, I respect that , but let's not dispute the real facts, please... Anyhow, whatever tickles your fancy... Best regards

"Add-to-Search-Bar" is indeed an invaluable extension , nothing cumbersome about it, really... It enables adding search engine(s) even for pages for which no standalone XML plugin files exist/are available, just by placing the cursor inside a page's search input field (e.g. here in MSFN) and adding (via context menu) that search facility as a new browser search engine: No need to analyze page's code and/or craft manually a new XML search plugin... OTOH, even if you make one yourself, you'd need the second extension I mentioned for "search.json.mozlz4" enabled browsers, because these don't have a human-readable searchplugins directory inside their profiles ...

For "search.json.mozlz4" enabled browsers (mostly Serpent 52.9.0/UXP + Serpent 55.0.0/Moebius), I'd recommend the following "legacy" Fx extension: XML Search Engines Exporter/Importer v0.4 (should be also available from within CAA). Instead of having to deal with modifying .mozlz4 databases (a Mozilla-proprietary compression format), you can export standalone XML-format search plugins from within the search.json.mozlz4 file, edit them to your heart's content and then import back the edited plugin ; of course, you can also import already archived, standard, XML search plugins extracted from other browser profiles (e.g. from New Moon 27/28) or downloaded from specialised search-plugin repos...

In UXP-based latest St52 (2022-02-25) (32-bit), the left/right arrows on the top header, that are used to move between previous/later captures of the selected URI, are no longer functional : Error Console Log: Timestamp: 21/03/2022 02:29:58 Error: TypeError: t.getRootNode is not a function Source File: https://web.archive.org/_static/js/bundle-playback.js?v=poeZ53Bz Line: 2 Timestamp: 21/03/2022 02:30:02 Error: TypeError: e is null Source File: https://web.archive.org/_static/js/bundle-playback.js?v=poeZ53Bz Line: 2 ... which suggests UXP-incompatible code (ShadowRoot, first implemented in Fx63) is used now...

That extension started originally as a github-wc-polyfill fork , i.e. ONLY supporting initially GitHub/GitLab; unlike the upstream maintainer (JustOff) not wanting to support other sites beyond those two, the German maintainer (martok) of this fork will accept support requests for other sites broken in current UXP and will explore the possibility/feasibility of applying the necessary polyfills (where available) to address the breakage on those requested sites... At this very moment, the only additional (to GH/GL) site supported is "godbolt.org", while a request for "*.notion.*" URIs is still pending (but supposedly very difficult to materialise) ... https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aopen ( ... of this "open issues" group, #3 and #6 aim to add user-side configuration options ) https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aclosed

https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=1214463 ... But let me save you the trouble and point out that ONLY official Pale Moon (currently < 30.0.0), official Basilisk (currently EoS'ed with v2022.01.27) and SeaMonkey are being supported; in the recent past, requests for FxESR 52.9.0, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52.9.0 support had all been rejected by JustOff, so I think you get the drift ... M$ employees brought in much breaking code, starting with autumn/fall of 2021 and continuing well into 2022, that "Moebius" simply can't cope with... Also, as you say, Moebius is lacking many recent Web APIs required by the gh-wc-pf extension, it'b be a nightmare, implementation-wise, for that extension to support it... ... probably because MCP had less time to move things around and worsen the performance levels attained originally by Mozilla ... What you can still do is use St55 for everything besides GitHub/GitLab and for these two "villains" use a minimal fresh St52 profile with just uBO+gh-wc-pf extensions...

1,885 changed files with 168,699 additions and 191,064 deletions. Was that just to make things extremely painful for fork-maintainers or did it serve some other agenda? Both of them are Basilisk/Serpent52 exclusive features (GMP/EME - as in functional DRM - broken for ages, but still useful to detect media sites that implement WidevineCDM; also useful for those few that prefer Adobe Primetime CDM's patented decoders over the ffvpx ones, on WinXP; WebRTC, despite claimed to be specs-compliant, fails to work on most WebRTC-enabled sites currently ); what are your thoughts about them in "our" UXP? ... Your thoughts on this, too, please? Let me reassure you, for the Nth time, that your constant efforts to "untangle" what MCP (currently a one-person-team) produce don't go unnoticed ; thanks once more...

@roytam1 : I've left NM28 behind me several months ago, now exclusively (from the browsers you are compiling) using Serpent 52.9.0 (32-bit) in this Vista SP2 x86 laptop; what is the future for Serpent 52 with the advent of GRE ? Could platform enhancements implemented in GRE be still backported to St52's UXP? And I don't know whether NM28 users are aware, but GRE fully removes the Pale Moon GUID (also used in NM27/NM28) and a restructure of MCP's add-ons site is currently in progress, will you also adopt this change for future NM28 versions? https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml

FWIW, I use a different (smaller) version of that file for my 360EEv12 (Chromium-78-based) copy (only the polyfills for JS code implemented in Chromium > 78.0). But I fear I'm derailing this thread...

In my 360EEv11 (Chromium-69-based) copy, to get GitHub (that I use a lot...) fully functional, I had to polyfill: globalThis (implemented in Chrome 71) Object.fromEntries (implemented in Chrome 73) Promise.any (implemented in Chrome 85) Promise.allSettled (implemented in Chrome 76) queueMicrotask (implemented in Chrome 71) String.replaceAll (implemented in Chrome 85) replaceChildren (implemented in Chrome 86) I'm using a local fork of your original extension, BTW, so many thanks! However, even those 7 polyfills won't be enough, it seems , because, over the last couple of months, those M$ employees have been trialing ECMAScript2020/2022 syntax with unsupported (by both UXP+Chromium<85) operators (Nullish coalescing, "??", and optional chaining, "?.") which can't be polyfilled; thus, GitHub becomes severely broken (to the point of unusable); at the time of this writing, they have reverted that breaking code, but it's dead certain it'll come back (since it's supported by M$'s sweet child, ChrEdge) ... NM28 is UXP-based, to get GH functional, use any of https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill https://github.com/SeaHOH/github-wc-polyfill https://github.com/martok/palefill Those only support officially Pale Moon (but NOT v30.0), so to install in NM28 you have to modify maxVersion inside install.rdf; GH+GL break the extension constantly, so make sure you're always on the latest stable/beta build...

Much obliged ; for transparency purposes, though, perhaps you'd be kind enough to let us know of the reason(s) the original binary broke and what measures you actually took to restore intended functionality... Just sayin', thanks all the same!

One very important aspect of "v1.5_Rev3e" is that it contains internally "openssl-1.1.1d" (requires at least VistaSP2, ported to WinXP SP3 by @Mathwiz , IIANM, and then compiled with (XP_EoS) Py3.4 by @heinoganda), which bestows this "HTTPS Proxy" TLSv1.3 (final) capabilities (not present in openssl 1.0.2x/1.1.0x); while properly configured web servers do still offer fallback to TLSv1.2, some secure URLs are currently TLSv1.3 exclusive; so, if access to these must be realised via the IE web engine (e.g. an application dependent on system crypto libs/schannel), "Rev3e" is the way to go! ... Thanks @Dave-H for sharing

... Not quite ; JustOff is a Ukrainian national and he's now (most probably) fighting against his country's invaders (not gonna say more, as being OT to these forums)... Soon after the invasion took place, he shared maintainership of the github-wc-polyfill extension with a Chinese developer, whose GH username is SeaHOH (I don't know if I'm right but, based on my Chemistry background, I amicably refer to him as "seawater" ...) SeaHOH is a very competent master of Javascript (with a slightly worse command of the English language compared to JustOff, but, OTOH, my Mandarin is non-existent ); I've reported several bugs myself over in the GitHub issue tracker and he's been very helpful/successful at addressing them ; TL;DR: All beta and stable releases after 1.2.14b2 are the product of SeaHOH's efforts! The latest stable release, 1.2.16 , works wonders with latest Serpent v52.9.0 (2022-02-25) (32-bit); to install, visit the linked GH page, left click on the XPI link and accept the installation prompt from GitHub; else, if you want to first fetch the XPI to disk and then install, you'd have to modify manually the install.rdf file within the XPI (the maxVersion value); this has been explained repetitively inside these threads... NB: The extension requires very recent UXP browsers (New Moon/Serpent), it does nothing in Firefox ESR 52.9.x and close to nothing in recent Serpent 55.0.0 (if force-installed there). Loads and functions fine here: (latest St52+gh-wc-pf-1.2.16)

The following was posted today by the site's owner: After the on-going war in Ukraine, this is the second most distressing development for me, should it actually be implemented! With energy (electricity+natural gas+petrol) prices hitting all-time highs, I can understand server costs are also up, yet the very same reasons leave very little room for donations for the average MSFN member that struggles considerably as it is to cope with RL's current demands... Hard times, indeed...

Many thanks!

I think it's safe to say the PM feature is currently broken for all (it is for me, too, on latest St52); I can't even access my previously stored exchanges... @Dave-H , as an admin, could you please ask/troubleshoot this?
