some sites need icomoon font also
Thank you very much, shelby, I don't use this browser (can't yet), but your suggestions allow me to finally leave behind those funny boxes, here and somewhere else.

It's gotta be something on my set up. @resetes12. Thanks for your help.

Implying I can't read or "does not have the knowledge to understand" is simply unacceptable, I fail to guess why are you still allowed to do that.
Maybe because there is a ring to it, I reckon. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Thank you, rereser, I'll check it out.

No, I asked about "all security experts article", as you claimed before.
Yeah, who is that gorhill? Does he have a PhD?
Just in case you take quoting you as an endorsement, LAF.
PS: at least check the suggested pages, in the particular one suggested by @Sampei.Nihira there are a few dozen technical reviews.

What - no polyfills? Here are a few contributed by n16s. Should be good on both Chrome (prior to version indicated) and FF-derived browsers.

Hi. This one used to work (perhaps it still does and is my set up). I use the addon singlefile, a lot. Recently, in some pages I started getting the error e-findlast function not found, for example in elciudadano.com

Serpent 52 is patched. Try a pre-September version.
Ha ha, good to know I had the fix already. I feel safer :P. I also tried in mypal, so I guess that is also fixed.
As per trying on a non-fixed version, I completely trust what you say: I tried even though I thought I was unprotected. Put to think about it, not the first time, really ;P

Have you tried with istilldontcareaboutcookies-1.1.1? They are community run, and (they say) answer to requests. It works better (more comprehensively) than the old idontcareaboutcookies.
Cheers @Sampei.Nihira, and thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us, retired and all. Don't mind them digital flies.

I make scientifically proven observations
Which ones were those? I may have miss'em.
Look: webp is an issue, and there are a million monkeys working 'round the clock to get into the systems of persons of import (the CitizenLab tries to deal with that sort of stuff). Bottom line, though, unless a state-sponsored team directly targets you, it is carelessness and curiosity that kills the cat. Go on looking for sites with webp images, download or watch stuff from shaddy sites, use software that has not been vetted by people of real, practical (not youtube) knowledge, and you'll get scientific proof that they're out to get you. I know you need your fix, and that you need it now. In the meanwhile... well, you get the picture.

I don't know what's all this talk about doctors, the fix doesn't prevent webp from getting into your system, at least for me. You may check it yourself.
I've got plenty of webp files in my system. That's not the issue. I also got lots of flash, doc(x), html, and what have you type of files (millions!), all of them (files of that type, that is) at one time or another making non-savy surfers suffer some sort of issue, masked under some other extension, blah blah blah. But I thought we weren't talking anymore. I'm so glad you (guys) decided to break the ice.

Well, yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about, it simply won't load the image, it prevents it from loading at all, with many websites using only WebP - this doesn't look like a fix.
Well, time for those sites to change their practices, period. I ceased to use flash, webgl almost decades ago. I don't think I missed anything of importance. As any M.D (even more if s/he has a PhD) would say: if drinking wine makes you ill, don't drink it.
PS: but if you have to, the suggested ublock fix allows you to satisfy your thirst, anyway. Just allow the glass to reach your lips temporarily or permanently. Hic!

Just to show the skeptics that the vulnerability is real and not mere fearmongering, you can download a "bad" WebP image here:
I just get the image attached, no crash, nothing, on sp52 hardened to boot.
PS: I get the same thing in my social media profile where I visit all the bad bloated fellas, safely enough, apparently.

Somehow this place, https://www.researchgate.net is broken: cloudfare verification stops it, here and in roytam1's build, where I'm replicating this post in case there are different options (I will blank out the one that doesnt' correspond, and accept @Dave-H o r other moderator ruling about it. Basically, if I have the exact download pdf/doc address, no problem. If I have to go through the interface, cloudfare (surprise, surprise) complicates things the way it does. I tried different suaos, and using firefox 115.0 almost does it in vanilla, but not quite. Thanks.

Mypal 68 comes with a few search engines pre-installed by @feodor2. In his latest release 68.13.4b, the search engine Qwant is set as default. Other available search engines are Brave, Mojeek and Startpage.
Another way: once you have already set up your search engines the way you want, you can copy and save somewhere the file youprofile/search.json.mozlz4 and later on, routinely, replace the one in your polluted profile. That way, you will always have them as you want them. The same applies to sp52, and you may in fact use your already sp52 profile/search.json.mozlz4 in mypal. The issue with mojeek and brave is more complicated, because mypal installs them from yourprofile/extensions.json. As described before in this forum, you need to open this extensions.json file, and delete the items to prevent them from reappearing.
PS: two caveats. 1) When copying your archived use ready search.json.mozlz4 you are likely to need to go to prefs and reassign your default search engine. Otherwise, GG (oh surprise) takes over. 2) the text for mojeek and brave in extensions.json will have changes in uid, as per your installation, so copy and paste over won't do the trick. you will have to find the code, and delete it manually)

I downloaded it, but haven't fully tried it yet. MC-HC is not meant to be run as is (I reckon), unlike VLC. You can really tweak the hell out of MPC-HC, and get a depth of composition, filtering, shading and sound quality that I have made over the years and works for me to watch dvd-br in nearly home theater style. I could do that in the experimental build I linked better than with the official MPC-HC (at least until I could use it in my stri-naked in shinny leather XP -me frankestein in A4, so to speak).

Like we all (I guess) knew, by going the chrome way, FF not only abandoned a vibrant addons community, but included a bunch of telemetry, to better serve us, laf. Three things to reduce/mitigate this behavior:
1- In your profile folder include an empty, extension-less file called "Datareporting". This prevents the creation of the folder.
2- We all have seen those pesky mojeek and brave search items popping in every now and then. You can delete them, but they comeback every nor and then, and are listed as extensions in about:support. Download the attached related file. Open extensions.json (from your profile) using notepad+++ (pspad freezes for some reason opening it).
Copy and search forLook the code in brave, mojeek.txt file, and find the equivalent in extensions.json (they will have changes in ui, as per your installation, so copy and paste over won't do the trick). Once you found the code, delete it manually.Once you selected in this json (make sure they correspond perfectly, or modify as required. DELETE THOSE ITEMS FROM extensions.json.Brave and mojeek, bye bye.3- Activate these (many hidden, some probably useless, but hey) items in user.js -or one by one using about:config. See included attachment.

And the proof is in the pudding, or something like that. Thanks, mate. BTW, looking at the code it seems very easy to change the order of the about items. I will try that.

ON another note, setting user_pref("permissions.default.shortcuts", 2); , where 0 is default 1=allow 2=block prevents page overriding of FF shorcuts, but breaks delete and backspace. The immediate solution is setting this to 0. This dev claims he has a solution that allows you to prevent page overriding of FF shortcuts, while keeping delete and backspace functional.

Cool. I will try and see.
As per XP can't do gpu processing, people keep saying things like that, the way it's said you can't run chrome 54+ in xp, you can't run firefox 52+, etc. etc. A combination of successful oligopolistic PR campaigns, and a Tobin like mix of laziness and pretended savvy. Not to include you in that group (I have great respect for what feodor you and others are doing, and enjoying the product of your efforts, thanks).
But it could be done, limitedly between FF4 and FF51. Outside browsers, it could be done to watch videos/music using (at least) an experimental MPC-HC build at https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=161047 least) combined with lavcodecs rendering on Nvidia Cubid, and madhctrl. Nvidiaprofileinspector (another thing that now goes as "can't be run in XP") also helped. GPU processing was also used by statistical packages that require it to run large monte carlo simulations. Just sayin.

Yeah, I thought so. I will report if I manage to do so.Thanks.

Software webgl angle for MyPal 68
Hi @grey_rat! Can you give details on how to do this? I read and downloaded the stackoverflow files, but the instructions there are for chrome.
Also, you may be interested in this. It used to work long ago, but probably is more related to sp52.

Archive today (perhaps for ever, but I visited it in a clean profile only recently to harden a sp52 -and mp68 too- from scratch) has a serious look at your canvas. If it is new thing, that may explain it, and pm canvas legacy extension may help. But I don't know, because (again), I hadn't visited the site without hardening the profile first, during the last 5 or so years.
