My Browser Builds (Part 2)
nicolaasjan replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Yeah... It's done with WinRAR here, but sometimes I use 7-zip as well. Just make sure you set Notepad++ as the default program for .json-files. -

When you set Notepad++ as default program to open .json-files, you can directly open and edit them from within the .xpi, save and the .xpi will be updated. [Edit] In my XP Virtual Machine I use an older version of Notepad++ (7.5.1), since newer versions don't support XP any more... npp.7.5.1.Installer.zip -

Try downloading from my Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/h9n5lmf6vdad5x2/basilisk52-g4.6.win32-git-20201010-a61cc61-uxp-bda6f1a93-xpmod.7z [Edit] Link doesn't work any more, because I have removed the file from Dropbox (Roytam's site is up again). -

@roytam1 Just FYI, 32-bit Basilisk will be discontinued... https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=25397 Will it then still be possible to build 32bit binaries from the source code? -

Wouldn't these 2 rules in uBlock Origin's custom filters do the same? ||www.youtube.com/live_chat$subdocument www.youtube.com###chat -

Yeah, I know, But vcredist_x86.exe refused to install on Windows 2000... So I got the missing dll from: https://www.dll-files.com/msvcr90.dll.html https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/92281334cf905c35e7c93dd526b5c199ea9823cd52922f55f14e3008f98cd4e1/detection I know this site since Windows 98 and never had any problems with it. -

(reply to self) Just tried the above in a snapshot of the VM. The file wouldn't open, but I extracted it to a folder with 7zip. It all looked a bit scary, but now New Moon works again! I only had to grab a copy of msvcr90.dll from the internet to get some other program running again. -

Just tried if Serpent browser worked, but it produced exactly the same error... I can't find a download link to the newest extended kernel on blackwingcat's blog. (my knowledge of Japanese is non-existent) [Edit] Is it: http://win2k.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=Windows2000-KB935839-v30fM-x86-ENU.wlu ? -

What are my options now? I'm not a programmer, so I can't fix this... Here is a copy of ole32.dll: ole32.7z -

Hi, I have a Windows 2000 virtual machine (just for fun) and up until now palemoon-28.10.2a1.win32 worked fine. When I updated to version 20200919, I got this error when trying to launch New Moon: The procedure entry point CoGetInterceptorFromTypeInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library ole32dll So I had to revert to a previous version. Version 20200829 worked. Does this mean that Windows 2000 can't run newer versions of New Moon any more? -

No, I was afraid of that (don't know anything about javascript in fact). I went to https://lelinhtinh.github.io/de4js/ to "de-obfuscate". Do you happen to know a better alternative? -

nicolaasjan replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
The addon sites of both Pale Moon and Basilisk are accessible again for XP and Vista! The evil scripts have been removed. [Edit] He used obfuscated javascript, like malware writers often do. De-obfuscated: palemoon.js -
Even if you don't use the browser itself, the engine is still deeply integrated into the operating system, so exploits can still affect you...

I didn't succeed in changing YouTube to the old layout. Concerning the browser cache: In "about:config"; create a new string value named: "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" (without the quotes). Give it the value you want, e.g.: D:\Palemoon Or, if you prefer the data being stored in RAM, you can point it to e.g. R:\TEMP\Palemoon with the help of a Ramdisk application. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/04/03/the-best-free-ramdisk-programs-for-windows/ -

You haven't seen "my Filters" Most of them are cosmetic. But perhaps there are some that can be removed now. I'll look into it when I'm bored. It's not really an issue with 16GB of RAM (and 3.5GB for my XP virtual machine)... -

Difficult to answer... Perhaps you can have more success asking on the uBo subreddit Or at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues -

I use uBo in normal mode with eMatrix and while allowing everything in eMatrix, uBo looks like this: uBo filters: Screenshot And a system-wide HOSTS file, containing the ones also included in uBo (but not selected). -

In both New Moon 28 and Pale Moon 28, I can access https://www.spiegel.de/international/ with 'JS on' and uBlock Origin enabled. Maybe a filter issue? -

uBlock-for-firefox-legacy 1.16.4.23 installs fine in New Moon 28 as well. May I ask what is the benefit of NM 27? Has NM 28 features that prevent it from running on old hardware? -

Is it normal that uBlock-for-firefox-legacy 1.16.4.22 can be installed in New Moon 28 (contrary to NM 27)? I have the latest version: palemoon-28.10.1a1.win32-git-20200711-92c0881dc-uxp-936438dd5-xpmod -

Unfortunately the Redirector addon does not work on Pale Moon (it's a web extension)... Tip: The new Reddit layout is probably very slow on your PC. With this userscript all Reddit links get redirected to https://old.reddit.com/ which is way faster. -

No problem; However, I noticed on the youtube-to-invidious Feedback page some people reported problems with Pale Moon... YT2Invidio seems to work better (tested on this site). PS: Especially on an old PC a good ad blocker (uBlock-for-firefox-legacy) will definitely speed up webpage loading!
