    I use these two sites for YT video downloading needs: https://en.savefrom.net/1-youtube-video-downloader-86/ and https://offeo.com/download/youtube-downloader/ . BTW - why don't you use an ethernet cable? It's best for a reliable connection.

    I used to only delete the startup cache upon every new release of SP 52.9, like one has to do with KMeleon updates, but with SP it's not needed apparently.

    Just a quick report: the latest Serpent 52.9 sometimes crashes (xul.dll) on site videocardz.com (main site), on articles it doesn't crash. I did update my certificates with Cert Updater 1.6 found on this fine site, and ever since videocardz.com ads are not displayed. It's probably a poorly made site...

    I'm sorry - I should have written https://www.theregister.com/ not just register.com - don't know about that one TBH. :-) Thank you for your in-depth analysis. That noscript sure is a piece of work, but I guess I have it installed for historic purposes... By the way - I do not see any need to break the topic into numerous parts...

    Thank you so much! Serpent 52.9 now works normally.

    I too am encountering instability with the latest Serpent 52.9 - I do have noscript installed, but it's not configured to "forbid scripts globally". Register.com crashes the browser, even with noscript disabled. Also majorgeeks.com makes it crash. For this week I have reverted to v52.9.0 (2024-01-05) (32-bit).

    I'm curious - why does site mimovrste.com /owned by alegro.cz/ load items so slowly in Serpent 52.9? I don't really need the site anymore, just curious.

    I tried icedove, but I prefer MailNews, works well.

    XP_SP3 (USP4) here: I chose lang EN_US and then sign in, wrote some username and pass and it does nothing, because they're of course not correct; it does not freeze. It just spins 1 revolution in vain as many times as I click "Sign in". I'm using Serpent 52.9 by the way.

    Thank you for new releases, roytam1. Serpent 52.9 is much better this time compared to 1 week ago, much more responsive and smooth browsing experience. So far all is well.

    Interesting - I have been fixing poor Avast implementation of their filter driver (aswSnx) and its interaction with Diskeeper in my XP and looks like that altitude and load order combination wasn't optimal. I have now (finally) looked at Win7 32bit (thinpc) implementation and replicated the same in XP and set altitudes to completely factory values with load orders fixed and Serpent 52.9 doesn't crash anymore. Jolly good. :-)

    Sadly another crash - Serpent 52.9 - mozjs.dll, I have halved and 256-colored the pic to make it smaller. Either Serpent 52.9 doesn't like the craptor lake refresh news or videocardz.com in general. By the way - it's reproducible. I can go to craptor lake refresh news time and again and it shall crash after loading the site, it crashes just before it shows Disqus system comments that site uses.

    I'm sorry - forgot to mention, yes it was Mypal 68. As for Serpent - I'm not too worried about an application crash here or there, it'll be fixed soon. It's the best I've got, since mozilla abandonment.

    Today my serpent 52.9 crashed while perusing videocardz.com, I guess all those D3D calls got to it. :-/ Would newmoon be a better alternative than serpent? P.S.: You know what? Opened mypal 68 browser just for kicks and tried the same webpage and boy did it load fast; upon closing however I got BSOD. :-x That's no pal of mine - deleted the thing clean off my computer. I'm happy with my serpent 52.9.
  15. modnar
    Please someone also fix this and also lower the amount of D3D draw calls per frame (I hope I got it correctly). Serpentinšek is the best. :-)

    Interesting, it crashes, in a slightly different way, but still - here's a screenshot.

    I use Serpent 52.9 as a direct replacement for my Fireferret 52.9 which is defunct now, besides it's got the highest scores on html5test... Anyway, please do continue to take good care of basilisk because it's very useful as Serpent for the classic systems. I simply despise the current operating systems they're peddling as "new" just because of the latest facade they've conjured up and bolted it on a pig.

    Serpent 52.9 latest version 2023-07-08 working well here, better than older versions so far. Thank you @roytam1.

    Hi! I would like to know is KB970158 (kernel-mode driver foundation) and 159 (user-mode) included in the SP4? I can't seem to find KB970158 anywhere. Edit: Found the KB970158 - it's in my Avast/Setup directory; I need it for disk_eeping experiment. :-)

    I think I can wait a week without editing Serpent; Addons page gets rarely visited here. :-)

    Is there any way to make Serpent 52.9 cache 4k-sectors-aware? As it is now, the cache is still 512bytes oriented (means values in about:config/cache are divisible by 512, but not 4096) and changing the values, upon restart just changes them back.
  22. modnar
    Have you tried opening the page with Serpent 52.9? Isn't Serpent 52.9 the most feature rich among Roy's releases? I base that on html5test website results...

    I have experimented with cache in Serpent (52.9) a bit (mainly to compare with behaviour of K-Meleon) and found it's best to disable the Mozilla's experiment that went nowhere: browser.cache.frecency_experiment = -1 (that is its default value anyway for OFF_state). There are also some RAM-only options but I don't really need those: browser.cache.compression_level = 9 > this save memory compressing data to maximum browser.cache.disk.enable = false > this disable disk cache for http browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl = false > this disable disk cache also for https browser.cache.memory.enable = true > this enable memory cache only

    You may or may not remember when a few weeks back I posted about Youtube shorts not displaying properly, skipping to the next one or previous one (in my Serpent 52.9 on WinXP x86) - problem solved - I finally aligned my partitions (to 4k sectors) after so many years of neglect i suppose. Now they play well from one to the next with the same version of Serpent (2023-04-13).

    Hey all! Great new release! I wonder why in recent releases of Serpent 52.9 (on XPSP3) scrolling through youtube short videos is more likely than not broken (I use screen resolution of 1680x1050). When loading a short it plays and when wanting to go to the next one with down arrow the browser goes there but then quite quickly jumps back up to previous one. This is quite frustrating. I do use ublock origin with the browser. Thanks.
