    And I would not necessarily assume that faking a "new" User Agent (Latest User-Agent I see: for Mac Os X 10_7 with Firefox 92.0) would be the correct attempt either. But rather try a User Agent from 2017 or 2018. Keep trying older User Agents. At the very least, try a mobile phone User Agent. And if you never get anything that says something like "your browser is not supported", then that web site has been specifically coded to not care what your User Agent is. Faking User Agents is actually OLD SCHOOL. This isn't 2020 anymore. The "modern web" 'evolves' a crapload faster than it did way back in 2008 or so when "faking" User Agents became so common that some of our parents even know how to do it.

    Theoretically, yes. There is a Compiling Chromium thread that was started in 2017 and only hit 3 pages by 2019 and has been recently bumped -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/177191-compiling-chromium-browser-for-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1208782 But the thread has found little to no traction and I wouldn't be able to be the first person to perform such a task until my retirement years 20 years away as it would be a full-time job to learn it all.

    MOVE ON! Please. When you stumble upon a web site like nitter and you can't get it to work in TEN different web browsers, then hello, nitter is the problem, not your web browser. You've directly cited issues on nitter with v13.5 r 5, v13 r 6, v13 M, Cent, Slimjet 50, Iron 49, SuperBird 44, Serpent 55, IceApe, and NM28. This is NOT a "browser bug". Are you "reporting" this in forums of all TEN of those browsers? If so, your OCD is worse then mine You're kinda gonna have to ACCEPT that nitter is simply a JUNK web site that WILL NOT WORK (at least in XP, I'm still waiting for Win7 or Win10 users to chime in).

    With nitter not working on basically ALL browsers (at least in XP), it's time to MOVE ON and ACCEPT that nitter is simply NOT GOING TO WORK (at least in XP). Has anyone tried nitter in any browser on Win7 or Win10? Has anyone tried changing the User Agent in any of the browsers they've tried in XP?

    I totally understand you. I'm simply emphasizing the importance of "modern web" compatibility OVER AND ABOVE "extensions". I could care less about "extensions", I want a browser that can handle the "modern web" FIRST AND FOREMOST.

    This is where I highly disagree! To me, the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of a web browser is that if I have 1000 weekly web sites that I visit, then the browser MUST work on ALL 1000 without any extensions installed. If so much as ONE of those web sites does not work without any extensions installed, then that web browser does not serve my needs and not worth my time! Period! This is the case with NM27 / NM 28 / BNav / St52 / St55 -- I cannot pay one of my utility bills with ANY of them so they serve ZERO purpose for me to use them on my other 999 weekly web sites. So "more extensions" means NOTHING to me! ESPECIALLY given that extensions are a "dime a dozen". MOST written by kids that are kinda clueless, but need to get their start somewhere. Extension ecosystems, in my view, are kinda better managed by Mozilla-based than Chromium-based. I do give Mozilla-based that. How many times have you searched for an extension on the Chrome Web Store and found one dated over a decade old!? It should have been DELETED a LONG time ago. Extensions have NEVER dictated what browser I use. AND NEVER WILL.

    Agreed! I actually thought MAT was on the right track on this one and disagreed with Roytam's file names of palemoon and basilisk right in the file name (still disagree, to be honest, but no skin off my back). UNTIL we saw what happened with the "raccoon-branded" Mypal. MAT lost all accountability from that point forward in my eyes. BINGO!

    As an MSFN member throughout this entire "mess", I never felt that MSFN was targeted specifically by Moonchild, only by Tobin. I didn't really follow it that closely (Mozilla-based lost to Chromium-based long before the "mess" arrived). As an XP user, I feel that official Pale Moon owes XP nothing. I really strongly believe that. If official Pale Moon is looking toward the future, then XP-compatibility is "backward-looking" and not "forward-looking". I can't help but feel that EVERYBODY in the UNIVERSE that is still using XP and needs a browser to also run on XP, those people are already HERE at MSFN. And we can count them on two hands! Add one foot if we need some toes to count the Vista folks. Official Pale Moon's future isn't XP and Vista. I know that "goes against the grain" of MSFN collective-opinion, but I really don't think that official Pale Moon's "future" is XP and Vista. There isn't that big of a "market share" for that audience. And we are all already members here at MSFN.

    nitter is definitely not ok, the "No items found" is shown 19 times out of 20 refreshes, or thereabouts. nothing changed, just refresh the page 20 times and it finally decides to work.

    I never wear a seatbelt if I'm only IN TOWN. Law be d@mned! It's "illegal" in the US to drive without a seatbelt. DO NOT CARE! I do not wear a seatbelt if I'm only IN TOWN. And do NOT feed me the BS that 40mph plus 40mph = 80mph. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. Only thing that EVER happens IN TOWN are "fender benders" and NOT "fatality" types of accidents - PERIOD! Sure, somebody is going to cite an exception, as an exception can always be found. SEATBELTS ARE POINTLESS FOR IN-TOWN DRIVING!

    Piece of junk web site! My life has been fine without "nitter".
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Is "CTR" a what or a who?
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    Confirmed, I've always used Stylem to customize NM27 and NM28.

    I don't have any use for "nitter" but as far as testing, I have to disable NoScript and uMatrix, load the page, then re-enable and all works fine - even without setting any special non-default NoScript/uMatrix site-specific "nitter". Seems to me to be very much related to extensions. Chrome and Mozilla both have a flaw, from my experience, that a disabled extension does NOT BEHAVE THE SAME as the same extension enabled but with site-specific rules set to "trust/bypass". Chrome and Mozilla both also have the flaw, from my experience, that an INCOGNITO WINDOW does NOT BEHAVE THE SAME when an extension is disabled versus enabled! Too difficult to log specific cases, but I'd swear that I've seen this behavior over the years in both Chrome and Mozilla browsers - INCOGNITO mode will react DIFFERENTLY when an extension is ENABLED versus DISABLED. Even though INCOGNITO mode "should" behave as if all extensions are DISABLED (unless, of course, you opt-in for allow in Incognito). Do not assume that Incognito mode is the same thing as disabling all extensions!

    My joke on my '55 Dodge and '61 Studebaker isn't about their lack of seat belts or airbags, but rather that they both have close to half a dozen ash trays but no cup holders.

    I was never really a fan of Basilisk. Everything on the web I've ever needed would always work in NM27 / NM28 / BNav. Well, until recent year or so and I've needed Chromium-based. What am I missing that's supposed to be so special about Basilisk?
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    To Moonchild - Just read your "A change of direction for Pale Moon in 2022" thread in its entirety. BRAVO! I look forward to the new direction!

    That's one of the reasons I never install addons directly from the Chrome Web Store. I download the .crx, exract it, remove all non-English location files, browse through .js files for possible phone-home URLS, repackage the .crx, then drag-and-drop into 360Chrome.

    Working for me.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Test works for me in v11. I don't think msfntor was claiming otherwise, he did have a question mark at the end when he posted that.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    I tend to NOT use the "latest-and-greatest" version of most of my extensions ON PURPOSE. Newer often times just means a newer "feature" was added. But if that "feature" is a security/privacy risk, then all you did was shoot yourself in the foot thinking "it's newer, it has to be better". Flags: --disable-logging --no-default-browser-check --disable-component-update --disable-background-networking --allow-outdated-plugins --kiosk-printing --disable-print-preview --cipher-suite-blacklist=0xe013 --disable-webgl --js-flags=--noexpose_wasm I do NOT use any uMatrix/uBlock "lists" (one that I used to use is still listed in my profile but unchecked). I use MVPS HOSTS file but tend to only update once every six months or so. A ton of site-specific uMatrix and NoScript rules not included below. I rarely visit YouTube but since it has such a gigantic following amongst MSFN members I have two extensions just for a site I almost never visit.

    Maybe it's one of those tests that if you run it 4 different times, you get 3 different results ???
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Working fine... I will not allow TWO .js domains when the test will run with only ONE .js domain... It is SELF-FULFULLING PROPHECY to "lower your shields" just to run a "test"... The flag mentioned earlier INCREASED my reds from FOUR to FIVE.
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    I confess that I've been ignoring this thread as just another one of those "too paranoid for me" types of tests. (to each their own...) But I finally ran it in my v11 and I'm happy with only FOUR reds without making any flag changes.
