    I have been plagued with this nuisance also - on over a DOZEN web sites, primary finance sites. I have been using version 28.1.0a1 32bit from 2018-09-21. It's the closest I could find where the repo changes were inline with "official" version 28.2.2. To me, I've just settled with the notion of NEVER upgrading and fallen to DON'T CARE that my browser is dated 2018. Heck, my operating system is dated over a DECADE older so "to hades" with all of the security hype surrounding "weekly builds", lol.

    Then USE firefox 68esr or the nightly! Whoala, "problem" solved! Seriously, I do contend that "these" issues will only get WORSE the further along we go. We are using cherry-picked snippets of code designed for SOMETHING ELSE and crossing our fingers that they will work 'here'. I personally have SEVERAL sights that stopped working a LONG TIME AGO so I use 28.2.2. TOO MANY around here give WAY too much credance to the whole Roytam Builds process. NOT to undermine that process, don't get me wrong (I don't know how to do the whole github patching). I see absolutely, positively, ZERO justification for anybody and everbody to ramble off lists upon lists of web sites that "don't work". It kinda gets old, no offense. This "old dog" (New Moon version 28.2.2-ish) does EVERYTHING that *I* need it to do. You can NOT teach an "old dog" new tricks! Throw every "patch" you want at the "old dog", that doesn't make it some new miraculous "breed". If you want 100% compatibility with Twitter, then browse on over to the "supported browsers" page - https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-supported-browsers (I can't at the momemt because company firewall blocks access) But my hunch is that Twitter is NOT "supposed" to work on any browser "this old", patched or not. But I digress... Again...

    Too funny. But, um, just how much "relevant info" are you expecting to find? I personally don't see much of any herein - *ever*. No offense, but let's not kid ourselves. People requesting issues be fixed that also exist with "upstream" -- irrelevant. People requesting an Opera build -- irrelevant. People requesting people not use CAPITAL letters or using too many quotes -- irrelevant. People having problem with HTML5 but not following guidelines already set forth -- irrelevant. People having problem with a site they never visit but it was flagged so now they think the site should work for them -- irrelevant. People following the Lemming over the cliff over the newest security hype -- irrelevant. But I digress...

    I do think some here fail to fully grasp the scope of Roytam's builds. Roytam doesn't "write" the code, he takes 'upstream' code and 'ports it' to "his" builds. So without an 'upstream' Opera trunk/branch/master, pick your terminology, there is quite literally nothing for Roytam to "do" as far as Opera goes.

    @Roytam1 - I sincerely hope that you do *NOT* "align" yourself with LEAKED source code! @Zero3k - I will personally lead the charge in suggesting you be BANNED from this form for making this request! This forum is not about "stealing" LEAKED source code! At least not in my view, I'll let others chime in for a consensus...

    I don't "care" about the SO-CALLED security mitigations. I run XP, if I "cared" about security I would not be running XP. Aside from that, I have SEVERAL financial web sites that WORK when using 28.2.2 but do NOT work with anything higher. Yahoo Finance is one of them, the Historical Quotes date can not be set with "new" Pale Moon versions. Another is Google Spreadsheets, but this nuance seems to be intermittent with "new" but it *ALWAYS* works with 28.2.2. So NO, I have *no need* to "upgrade"
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm not the least bit worried. All just a bunch of HYPE and HYSTERIA. NOT worth ANY of the hassle, if you ask me. Again, I'll stick with my ~28.2.2. *IF* I were worried, I'd just use a VirtualBox guest to do all my browsing.
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    like mentioned earlier, it's all just a d@mn bunch of HYPE - blah, blah, blah, who freakin' cares, i will CONTINUE to use my "unpatched" 28.2.2 as it suits my needs perfectly!
  10. NotHereToPlayGames
    Primary duty? NO, IT ISN'T! Anybody that runs WinXP (as I do and as you do) is a HYPOCRITE if they feel that ZERO-DAY exploits should be fixed "immediately". If we want to run WinXP, which I wholeheartedly support and run it on FOUR of my FIVE home computers (the fifth runs Win 2003), then we can NOT do that on one hand and shout from rooftops to patch a zero-day on the other hand. That *IS* the very definition of hypocrisy! But anywhoo...
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Ugh! I "dislike" posts like this. I did NOT patch my browser (approx 28.2.2) and I do NOT feel "vulnerable"! I contend that you are only "vulnerable" if you visit web sites you probably shouldn't be on in the first place And if you enable JavaScript by default and don't white-list then you INVITE "vulnerabilities". The ONLY way to TRULY be protected from ZERO-DAY vulnerabilites is to NOT enable JavaScript! Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't *ALL* Zero-Day vulnerabilities spread via JavaScript?
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    What, no hanging chads?

    I have access to Windows 10 LTSB, if you can get your hands on LTSB then Win10 isn't half bad. But yeah, my i7 at home came with Win10 and I *happily* **UPGRADED** to XP x64. Though despite the XP x64 preference, I'll use the work computer's Win10 whenever I have to convert .mkv's to .mp4's. Win10 just does those conversions a tad bit faster.

    These forked browsers in-and-of-themselves are "not common knowledge" and "only for the nerdiest".
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    Once a "brand" is established, I propose that we also may need a "patch" to rebrand our specific versions without RoyTam needing to "rebrand" ALL of the downloadable versions. ie, my preferred go-to is dated 2018-09-22. I update every once in a while, try what's out there, but tend to always revert back to my beloved 2018-09-22 (21?).
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    "msfntor" - I would kindly suggest that your browsing needs are not the targeted audience for these forked browsers. What you "need" is Win10 and everything Win10 has to offer. WinXP "today" really should be considered as "Linux" - a niche audience that is NOT for "everybody".
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed... Good one... My premise is that the "haze" should be removed. ie, SOMEBODY needs to take the LEAD as opposed to everybody just throwing out name suggestions "ad nauseam". In other words, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” ie, WE'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE, the road where everybody threw out name suggestions. Where did that get us? "Condemned to repeat it", that's where it got us!
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    How about "Knew Moon"? On a side note, I feel that this thread is just an endless unending "infinite loop" and should be locked. Roy Tam has NOT made a public presence and insists upon sitting idle on the sidelines. Are we just to keep throwing out new names for the next "twenty years" or until Moonchild shows back up and ruffles feathers again? Roy Tam MUST take the LEAD on this and he HASN'T!
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    Disregard. I rebuilt my profile from scratch and everything is working now (yeah, I should have tried that first).

    This seems to be server-side for Google Spreadsheets and for my parents' Citi credit card but newest NM27, newest NM28, and newest Arctic Fox won't load Google Spreadsheets and also won't sign in at Citi. I tried downgrading all three to no avail. Downgraded again to no avail. Kept downgrading several times (sometimes one week back, other times a couple months back). Finally got both to work using palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20180929-77af3f176-xpmod.7z. Not really sure why both stopped working and why I had to go back that far to get them to work. Will run with 28.2.0a1 9-29-18 for a while but may eventually upgrade one week at a time and see if that leads to where the break is. Odd that they've both worked for many many months but now all of a sudden don't work. Didn't really have time to see if I could isolate a cause. =========================================================================================================== Anyone else using Google Spreadsheets notice any issues recently?

    I didn't have to add any .dll's. I just played over a dozen YouTube videos and they all worked for me. That said, I don't quite grasp the concept of HTML5 being the end-all litmus test on whether a browser is good or not. I use my "daily" browser for 30-50 tasks throughout the year. Some tasks each and every day, other tasks monthly, others maybe only once an entire year. And viewing "videos" doesn't even break into the top 50 !!! However, I do have a "YouTube Box". A laptop with a Core 2 Duo that's over 12 years old. It's used for nothing but playing YouTube videos and sending to the big screen TV. I have the latest Arctic Fox Win32 on that laptop and it just played every YouTube video I went to. But the CPU jumped up to 35 to 40%. Granted, I prefer to use Portable Chromium version 49.0.2623.23 for YouTube playback (I mispoke in an earlier post when I cited v48). My Chromium uses slightly less CPU but the addons I run on YouTube weren't offered in Firefox variants (at least at the time I set it up). But all in all, playing videos is very VERY far down on my list of expectations for my browser. What good is a browser where the GUI takes three seconds to load but it is 100% HTML5 compared to a browser where the GUI takes one second to load but drops to 90% HTML5 ??? I'll take that one-second GUI load time every day of the week :)

    I *VETO* these two *HEAVILY*, no offense intended. They look like illustrations you'd see in an anatomy text discussing female reproductive organs. =================================================================================================== Where did the name "New Moon" come from in the first place? I thought it was an APPROVED "generic" branding and methinks it could remain "generic" FOREVER. People don't stumble upon these forks "by accident". There is no "confusion", from what I perceive, with these and their upstream counterparts. My computer-illiterate parents and grandparents, aunts, and uncles are NEVER going to "find" these forks. =================================================================================================== I propose a morphed version of something like this (from here - https://www.freepnglogos.com/images/beats-png-logo-5027.html ) Only three colors for the 'fox/panda', maybe four, then the fifth color is what is in red below. But the "b" would be an "R" (for Roytam) [or for Red Panda, lol]. And I propose the same EXACT icon be used for ALL of Roytam's builds. The "red" area would be one color for New Moon, another color for Serpent, yet another for Borealis. Roytam adds another unknown browser down the road, it's the same exact icon but a fourth color is introduced. =================================================================================================== I would also vote to *NOT* do what has been done 'upstream'. New "official" Pale Moon versions have one systray icon when "pinned" (Win10) and closed, another icon when opened. I for one do *NOT* like my systray icons behaving this way.

    I think you'll be very impressed. It's been my exclusive browser at home since mid-October. ALL of these forks (and ALL the original non-fork bases) have a delayed load for the VERY FIRST load after a computer reboot and allowed cpu idle after reboot. I find that this "first load" is fastest with Arctic Fox then any of the others. The SECOND load is never an issue, loads quick and snappy, but the VERY FIRST load is lengthier.

    The "branding" should be treaded lightly. I used GreenBrowser + Proxomitron exclusively from 2003/2004 all the way thru 2017/2018. Tabbed browsing using the IE6 engine long before tabbed IE7 showed up (company forced IE at the time). Company would prevent "installs" but I could run "portable" apps without issue (don't tell the IT guy). That worked for me for a VERY long time. But... Proxomitron was "high maintenance". I was fine with all of the "maintenance" - it was the web MY WAY and not the way that "script kiddies" threw it at me. But... It became too much of a hassle to edit and tweak for a couple credit card websites at the time. That led me to abandoning GreenBrowser + Proxomitron. My search led me through Maxthon, SlimBrowser, Vivaldi, Chrome, Chromium, Iron, Opera, Firefox, Flock, Waterfox, Icefox, IceDragon, Avant, Sleipnir, among many others I'm sure that I'm forgetting as I look back. Sleipnir and Chromium lasted the longest as far as my exclusives at the time. I eventually landed on a precursor (?) to New Moon. I forget the name of it but the "branding" was a RACCOON waiving his paw. Sounds "trivial" perhaps, but the RACCOON turned me away from that browser. Despite its functionality meeting ALL of my needs. The "branding" cut my time short with my trial of that browser. My home CPU is an i7 and came with Win 10 LTSB - would never do anything 10 without it being LTSB. But I opted to keep XP x64 instead. My computer can "handle" more resource-hungry web browsers - but it is NOT my "preference". So I ended up still hunting and stumbled into Roytam's builds. Ran v28 for a while, but reverted in favor of v27. Then arrived Arctic Fox Win32 - been my exclusive ever since. Edit: I'll add this. One of my gripes against v28 is because I do *not* 'want' to update each and every week. That borders again on "high maintenance". I would prefer kind of knowing which weekly release is best associated with the "stable" upstream versus the "nightly" upstream. I don't really have a need to update my browser each and every week.

    I use Win10 at work but use XP x86, XP x64, and 2003 x86 at home. I seem to prefer a build that nobody here talks about so I finally created an account versus just watching and reading (often quite an entertaining read). I use Roytam's ARCTIC FOX build pretty much exclusively at home (a portable Chromium v48 runs my YouTube-to-bigscreen-TV box). I hope that ARCTIC FOX doesn't get lost in all of this. LOVE THE WORK, ROYTAM. Please don't let any of the "back-and-forth" discourage you in any way
