Thank you! Finally somebody sad that. I recently was walking in park and thinking to myself that all this "new" formats are creating picture inferior to well tuned h.264.
P.S. I can add from myself that h.265 also create some kind of murkiness in videos and AV1 is insanely slow at encoding in this format.

"The DOJ says Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson and others were unwitting Russian stooges."
I doubt they was unwitting. I think they knew who pay theme and understand the task very clearly.
P.S. Аbout year ago i watched interview with former worker of ruZZia's (government own) TV channel to SotnikTV. He said that they internal chats with instructions and "talking points" was in Telegram. When he asked his superiors why Telegram (he naively thought that Telegram was fighting FSB) he was answered - that was show for the fools and Telegram is under tight control of FSB.

You know, as a person who live in home that recently was trembling when air-defense rocket intercepted ruZZian missile (that was aiming at my block) i see your post as incredibly dumb and ignorant.

Anything interesting in console or on Network tab in developer's tools?
Sunshine, at least you could say what OS\Browser on your screenshot. I tested in 3 browsers on my XP - NM 2024-03-21\Serpent v52.9.0 (2024-08-21) and Arctic Foxie's 360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8. All not showing pictures like on my screenshot.

Whatever FSB does is not different than what other agencies in other countries do or attempt to do. They are all running shadow games.
Excuse me, but this is extremely naive point. FSB is KGB that change nickname to drop the heat.
Its like in GTA when you have 6 star chase and you drive in paint shop to change paint color and engine number. NPC in game obey the script. But you are alive human been, and not primitive scripted NPC bot, you should understand simple things, right?
FSB\KGB is the most prominent terroristic organization in the world. It stands behind 90% percent of organized world terrorism, from ISIS, to Al-Quaida, Irish National Liberation Army, Taliban, HAMAS. All of this is made possible just cause KGB\FSB.
Chekists came to power at the end of 1917, then never give up power since that year. They still in charge of Kremlin.
Security Services of Democratic countries exist to prevent crime and terrorism. FSB\KGB is a major terroristic organization of the world - it exist to create chaos, corruprion, wars and terrorism across the world.
P.S. Here is a good read about FSB one "special operation": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_Up_Russia

I have a problem with 4pda.to forum - pictures under spoilers are not shown at all. I checked this site with Firefox on Android - pictures show just fine.

As far as the Promise.allSettled function error, this was always a Serpent error on older versions (edit: strictly in reference to cited hotline.ua) but was resolved in January of this year.
Resolved with this release:
Thank you very much, i used Serpent versions from december 2023 (i do not know why but it seems to me they worked slightly faster then april-may 2024 versions. Now thank to your advise i updated to latest 2024-07-05 Serpent (both 52 and 55) and it now works. And it is good to see Hotline finally working as it suppose to be
in roytam1
browsers.

Serpent and New Moon browsers for years have an issue with big and famous HOTLINE.UA site. Knowing that many Ukrainians are here, on MSFN, i am surprised nobody before me reported this issue for one of top 10 Ukrainian sites.
The issue is next: as you can see on screenshot below i searched, using Serpent,, for example, a cassette, on top search page at address hotline.ua. However it give me this:
Promise.allSettled is not a functionThis bug continuous for years. Can it be finally fixed? Hotline.ua is not some marginal site, it is well popular shopping system uniting most of Ukrainian internet shops.
To overcome this bug when it happens and show you this failure message you then need to click mouse on search page with thing you search and press ENTER.
Please solve this issue - it is so annoying and in 360ChromePortable 13.5 it is not happening, but i love roytam1 browser.

The problem was real. After Moonchild and several others Pale Moon forum members contacted Cloudflare, they eventually, not without a problems, fixed it.

What happening with CLOUDFLARE checking? I can not get into tabletki.ua or other sites protected with cloudflare. I tried New Moon and Serpent - infinite checking on cloudflare. What's going on?
Sites protected with cloudflare works on Firefox for Android.

I just tried, using New Moon (2023-11-30) to read twitter. And it suddenly gave me that:
This browser is no longer supported. Same on Serpent (2023-12-15).
Question - why? What is going on?

Isn't TRIM is now handled by these devices themselves?
No, SSD can not fully TRIM itself cause it does not fully know what data should be deleted and what stored. Samsung once tested File System Aware Garbage Collection - prototype SSD that can theoretically fully TRIM itself, but it does not worked as they expected.

VBEMP-NT exist , a similar product, my point is their no point for re engineering wheel so the project moved to full HW accelerated MESA based driver for future.
More you can read here https://github.com/JHRobotics/mesa9x
As i said their no plan for now,
I don't get it. Mesa9x v21.3.8.20 is emulator of HW openGL from windows 98\ME. What is have to do with universal VESA Graphics driver with hardware acceleration for XP?
Can some one explain me?

For all owners of a computer with a processor, that does not have more than the SSE instruction set, the air is getting thinner.
I'm sorry, but this can not be taken serious in 2023 year. The first CPU with SSE2 was released in year 2000. That's more then 22 years ago. Let those people go and upgrade to something more modern. Windows XP works so much better on 4-core systems. Now we have even 8 core Ryzen work with XP. There is no excuses left for staying on none SSE2 system now. Go and upgrade to at least Core2Duo or Athlon64X2 - they are dirt cheap now. I repeat there is no excuses to seat on, like Pentium 3 or Athlon XP and demand everyone attention. Those systems are completely obsolete, they serve people well for 2 decades, now live them alone and upgrade!

I want to transfer my New Moon profile with all the passwords to another computer (from 32bit XP to 32 bit W7). Tell me in what folder (and path to it) passwords are saved on system C disk in New Moon? What folder i should copy to another computer to have my profile and passwords work there?

I must admit - last version of New Moon 28.10.6a1.win32-git-2023-04-07 seems much faster then previous versions. Does anybody else notice that? Even huff-post loads faster.
Also as i understand with latest versions of NM\Basilisk we don't need Palefill add-on, because we have WebComponents enabled, am i correct?

Holy Crap! Look at this Basilisk thread, where I guess someone from here went to the Pale Moon Forum and dared to mistakenly ask about Serpent. It's not about the right or wrong I'm concerned with: it's the snotty nature that Moonbat conducts himself with. Just a p***-poor way to talk about people:

So weird hateful people. Why they hearts so full of hate? What's wrong with them?
QuoteI hate it when XP using morons keep showing up here
Wow, just WOW ! What an hateful person. Is he out of his meds? I saddened an astonished buy this level of unprovoked aggression and hate.
QuoteIt is a long dead OS that black hats have been feasting on for many years to build their bot armies with. Any communication from an XP user is likely to be filled with malware.
Absolute nonsense. In fact that was true when win XP was in it's prime and "normies" use IE6 or IE7- that was time when you will always catch up so virus very fast. This was the reason i migrated on Firefox around 2007 - tired of viruses exploiting million holes in IE. With all XP updates and using unique browsers like New Moon + Ublock, - chances of virus infection is extremely low. 99.99% modern viruses now can not even work in XP now - they code is incompatible with it anymore.
P.S. Speaking about old Operation Systems, i have question. I recently watch a lot of YouTube channel "Action Retro", when retro enthusiast upgrade to unusual fast level Apple PowerPC machines. And one of they major problems - they not having modern browser anymore - cause they tied to Tiger and Leopard OS and they "forks" like Sorbet Leopard and they only(?) developer of they own Firefox fork TenFourFox abolished project, so they left without modern update internet browser.
So i wanted to ask Roytam1 - how hard it will be to recompile latest NM28 to PowerPC machine? Is it really possible to do even once as experiment? I just wondering.

And my question is: Where have you been?
Upstream's native WC implementation has been backported to UXP-based browsers by roytam1 (these, of course, include New Moon 28 - but NOT NM27) since the builds released on the first weekend of March:
I did not know that. However, turns out i already use for a 14 days this March version of New Monn, where WebComponents is included.
1 hour ago, VistaLover said:... Roy spends considerable free time composing and putting up those Release Notes every Saturday but it appears, in practice, they go totally unnoticed by the majority of users here
; and it's a pity, TBH 
...
That's not accurate statement. I usually download new versions from here: https://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/search/label/browser
And i usually read whats new in "Official Pale-Moon changes picked since my last build:" and "Official Basilisk changes picked since my last build:". Because i expected that the most critical changes will be mentioned there. The reason why i miss mention about WebComponents, is because it is written as casual change in the middle of long list named: "Official UXP changes picked since my last build:"
Here is examle of issues from there next to important WebComponents announcement:
Quote- Issue #1344 - (Parser: Java) Don't reset containsHyphen value after finding one (d9b7057ff)
- Issue #1344 - (Parser: C++) Don't reset containsHyphen value after finding one (55100bb28)
- Issue #2118 - Part 1: Update gfxUtils YuvColorMatrix functions to match upstream mozilla code more closely. (beef43760)
- Issue #2118 - Part 2: Add support for Identity YUVColorSpace (3e62b1fc9)
- Issue #2101 - Part 1: Add mColorRange info to YCbCrBuffer (c0c76cd45)
- Issue #2101 - Part 2: Use stdint.h types instead of uint8 and friends (42f329689)
- Issue #2101 - Part 3: Update libyuv (a4d1f57b9)I usually not read this because i don't understand meaning of this. I wAS expectING more BIG announcement about WebComponents enabled, then getting it lost in the list of super-complicated issues that 99.9% of people do not understand.
I Like how the Pale Moon guys did it: They openly said - "hey guys, we now enabled WebComponents by default, major change, long awaited, how cool is that!!!"
So i notice that. But if you think i will read every - Issue #OVER9000!1111 - you simply wrong and you lying to yourself.
I deeply respect work of roytam! and often like and up-vote his posts here,

Today Pale Moon team release v32.1.0 (2023-03-21) http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml
They claim that:
QuoteThis is another major update with important compatibility improvements for the web. Most notably, our implementation of Google WebComponents is now at a state where we enabled them by default.
So my question is - when this thing will be in New Moon? I really want to see New Moon with Google WebComponents.

Ok, that would be a naughty problem. Latest New Moon can not login in to, gm, xvideos.com
When i put login and password and press login button it always put me this notice:
I cleared my cache and updated to latest version to no result. Interestingly Serpent52 CAN login to xvideos.com account with no problem. Any ideas?
