    What makes you say they're illegal builds?

    In my experience, the only supported video codec by Invidious is h.264. Firefox 52.9.0 esr does not officially support h.264 video (Apparently installing the Adobe Primetime Content Decryption Module will allow h.264 videos to play). However, as a fallback in case that option doesn't work, I recommend installing Centaury by Feodor2.

    Can anybody confirm that YouTube with the Classic interface no longer works with the "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1) User Agent override? R.I.P YouTube Classic, July 10th 2020.

    In what form is Chromium 76 or newer coming?

    I just got on Reddit, and could not load the comments (Which means globalThis might not exist in Serpent 55). If it were me personally, I would stick to Serpent 52, but you'll have to try both extensively to see which one works best for you.
  8. ClassicNick
    Serpent 52 and 55 have disabled-by-default AV1 video support (from Firefox 63?) Serpent 52 and 55 have TLS 1.3 Support enabled (from Firefox 63) Serpent 52 has Several ECMAScript 2018+ features from Firefox 58+ (most importantly globalThis from Firefox 65 due to the new Reddit site) The web compatibility improvements compared to Firefox 52 will only get more massive as upstream (Moonchild Productions) finalize/release milestone 29.0.0 of their Pale Moon browser, which will feature ES Modules, ShadowDOM v1, and Custom Elements v1 (also from Firefox 63).

    Type about:config in the address bar, hit enter, then search for media.webm.enabled... Double click it to toggle the value to false. If you need to, try disabling the h264ify add-on.

    Would it be possible to drop the "RFox" prefix from "Cordelia", and rename "Arctic-Fox" to "Cordelia"? If it's possible, that has my vote.

    Did you try launching the "k-meleonW9x.exe" version of the file? You then need to copy "MSVCP71.DLL", and "MSVCR71.DLL" into K-Meleon's root directory if you haven't already. An updated COMCTL32.DLL file is also needed, and is best obtained from installing IE 5.5. The way I chose to obtain MSVCP71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL is to install the March 5th 2010 K-Meleon 1.5.4 version from the executable installer.
  12. ClassicNick
    For Serpent, I vote a rename to "Paracelsus", renaming New Moon to "Peach Moonshine" (Arctic Fox rename to "Cordelia"), and Borealis Navigator to "Draconis" if possible.

    If you use New Moon 27.9 or K-Meleon 76.2 by RoyTam1, then you can set the YouTube UA override to a number between 44.0 and 62.0 in order to force the Polymer v1 layout. The same also goes for UXP browsers. UA string: general.useragent.override.youtube.com Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko 20100101 Firefox/60.0 PaleMoon/27.9.7
  14. ClassicNick
    Yes, the "Classic" YouTube UI is less CPU and memory intensive, but Google is going to stop supporting the "Classic" UI. FYI, New Moon 27.9 and K-Meleon 76.2 are also capable of supporting the "Polymer" YouTube interface, they just need a manual UA override.

    "rzbrowser-tls12-20200127.7z" and "retrozilla-suite-tls12-20200131.7z" still yield the same result. the "retrozilla-suite-tls12-20200131.7z" link should point to http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/retrozilla-suite-tls12-20200131.7z
  16. ClassicNick
    Hint: All the links yield the same 7z file.

    Nice job implementing ChaCha support! When will the URLs be posted?
  19. ClassicNick
    How do you think lowering vcache to 16-64 MB will impact performance in Windows 98?
  20. ClassicNick
    Thanks for the input. Personally, I don't care about my security (I don't do anything on my computers that require security), I'm all about getting the best performance on my computers. I've noticed that it isn't usually a huge drain on performance to have JavaScript enabled on Firefox 2.0 era browsers, but it will still lower system resource use. When it comes to the UXP and Tycho based browsers RoyTam1 maintains, I've noticed enabling JavaScript is a horror show on resource use. What I do is open 2 web browsers of my choice, 1 of them is for websites I use that requires JavaScript to work properly (YouTube and possibly a few others), and another browser with JavaScript disabled to handle the rest of the web sites I want to load.

    I only started caring about using older Windows versions when I dug up the older computers in my house for nostalgic reasons (October 15th 2016). When I used Windows 9x in 2017-2019, my web browser of choice was Firefox 2.0.0.20. In that time, I went from seeing the occasional error message to being blocked from almost 1/2 the web. IME, there wasn't much of a problem with TLS 1.0 connections until mid-2018 at the earliest. It makes me sad knowing a lot of web browsers in upwards of a decade time span are becoming effectively useless due to TLS 1.0 deprecation, and knowing the browsers I used in my early years (Firefox 1.5.x and 2.x) are among those being locked out of the web. Fortunately RoyTam1's web browsers are still an option...

    Do you think it's possible that doing "security related tasks" with an old OS and browser will get more "secure" over time simply sue to the software (old OS and browser) becoming harder to program for?
  23. ClassicNick
    This has been a fun ride for me, and the SSL issue on Windows 95 seems to be officially solved.
  24. ClassicNick
    By default, the SSL protocol disabled problem on Windows 95 still persists, however, I noticed that coping NSS related files from Retrozilla, or K-Meleon fixes the SSL protocol disabled problem. If anyone wants a list of the files I copied, I will post back.
  25. ClassicNick
    Wunderbar98, I'm still confused by which OS you used to load Firefox. Did you install Windows 2000 in QEMU? Do you think upgrading the RAM from 384 MB will be possible? As for a more modern day standards compliant browser for Windows 98, my money is on RoyTam1's K-Meleon 74 and Pale Moon 26.5 VC 2005 (VC8) browser builds.
