[My Browser Builds (Part 1)]

you are quite the expert at long-winded explanations that yeah, you caught me, i seldom have the time to read all the way through, lol

 

i'll just stick with the "last" 28.1.0 and consider "my" browsing needs do not need/require anything that 28.2.0+ has to offer  --  problem solved, we can both "move on" now  

[My Browser Builds (Part 1)]

don't know who "Matt Tobin" is  --  DON'T CARE WHO MATT TOBIN IS !!!

 

i feel that this thread should be about discussing issues, bug reports, and OPTIMIZATIONS for New Moon (and other "roytam" releases)...

 

ie, if an "issue" is presented and the poster is presented with "this is how roytam wants it, it's free, you should accept roytam's release as-is", then let's be honest, how is that any different from whoever this "Matt Tobin" guy saying the same exact thing, "this is the way that I want it, i don't care if it is native or not"  ???  ???  ???

here is a nuisance i wish would get fixed

don't recall how long this "line" has been in the left menu right-arrow-accessed sub-menus

it's barely visible but once you do notice it then you can't "not" see it

(i actually fix this via Stylem but shouldn't need to 'correct' the GUI in this manner)

 

 

I'm fairly certain that this was fixed once but it appears to have snuck back in.

The green-circled line is only visible if you use XP's default setting of enabled for "Use visual styles on windows and buttons".

1)  which version is recommended as the latest version/series WITHOUT the audio icon in the tab?

     a)  palemoon-28.1.0a1.win32-git-20180922  --  the very last of the 28.1.0 series since this new "feature" was added during the 28.2.0 series?

     b)  palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181117  --  the weekly release just prior to this new "feature" being added?

i am not using "Expose Noisy Tabs" (and never will be)...

 

i submit that the folks that WANT this feature should continue to use the addon to provide this feature...

but that the underlying New Moon development should NOT be introducing "features" which DEGRADE its performance...

 

one of my computers (an Acer with an Atom processor) cannot use New Moon at all (but only one website seems to be effected - my company payroll ADP web site)...

[My Browser Builds (Part 1)]

i have to highly disagree - yes, you can disable the icon from SHOWING, but the degradation in performance remains...

my platform/browser performance is HIGHLY effected by this "feature"...

 

you are on Vista, I am on XP - is not New Moon specifically targetted for XP-users?

[My Browser Builds (Part 1)]

first post using a real non-throwaway e-mail address, so i guess now i'm here to stay 

 

two questions -

 

1)  which version is recommended as the latest version/series WITHOUT the audio icon in the tab?

     a)  palemoon-28.1.0a1.win32-git-20180922  --  the very last of the 28.1.0 series since this new "feature" was added during the 28.2.0 series?

     b)  palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181117  --  the weekly release just prior to this new "feature" being added?

 

2)  is there a step-by-step guide somewhere that would teach me how to compile my own weekly (and how to REMOVE the audio icon in the tab files/code)?

 

 

many thanks in advance...
