My Browser Builds (Part 5)
Goodwin replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I'm not a developer. If roytam1 is a professional, he should look for the causes of the bug and the browser version himself, not send users who do not understand many technical issues to do it. It would be very funny if when reporting a bug in firefox, mozilla would say "you look for the problem yourself, we don't know anything". -

I am using one of the latest amd graphics cards and the latest official version of the video driver for XP. Hardware acceleration doesn't work on XP and probably never did because mozilla only introduced it in vista. If it did work, the CPU utilization would be 1-5%. But that's another story, now the question is about CPU utilization. -

I don't know exactly when the problem started, but presumably it's been around for a few years. Perhaps this defect was there from the very beginning, when firefox forks were able to play video on their own, without third-party plugins, as it was in firefox52. And I think you have already written about it in this thread. The problem occurs when you don't use mythical hardware acceleration, which as you probably know doesn't work on XP. example. on a particular machine: 480p video is playing - CPU utilization is ~20%. When changing the speed in the player, the CPU load increases to ~60-75%. I mainly use your basilisk. The same defect exists in palemoon and probably in all your other browsers. -

roytam1 the question is about changing speed and CPU utilization. And it's not even a question, it's a bug ! and it's very old. And you've been written about it many times, judging by the topic. this problem is not related to YouTube and AV1. This is about regular video on websites - h264. I will also suggest you a certain direction for fixing it. In Centaury browser (https://github.com/Feodor2/Centaury/releases) there is no problem with increasing CPU load. And this browser is also based on basilisk. -

roytam1 You can check the bug with video playback in Serpent? When you change the speed of video playback, both up and down, the CPU load increases 3-4 times. Do you know about it, can you fix it ? it works, but I specifically wrote . Because I know how inconvenient moon-tester-tool works. I didn't know about serpent-tester-tool though. But it's silly to use such crutches when you can remove the nonsense with checks. -

Then make it so that extensions made for palemoon can be installed without questions in all your browsers, with any min/max version. Extensions from realityripple.com, addons.palemoon.org. Or make an extension that disables checking. There was such a thing a long time ago. Installed in the usual way, not through a special mode selected in the extension itself. -

NotHereToPlayGames The comment is not addressed to you, so don't interfere in someone else's conversation ! I am interested in the developer's response. Without such a fix, a lot of potential users will abandon such a browser at the very beginning. Considering that the main source of extensions for it is Classic Add-ons Archive. And only about 2-5% of WE (for basilisk) extensions from the mozilla site. -

you didn't understand me. The point is not to add anything to the extension manifest. You need to change it in the browsers themselves so that there is simply no checking. This will only make it easier for many users to install extensions. And the fact that most extensions do not work due to code incompatibility is a completely different question. For example, I already gave an example of https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/deCDN/ which is not installed in basilisk. -

roytam1 In Serpent, you need to remove checking for browser IDs when installing extensions. Because so many extensions are not installed. For example realityripple.com/Software/XUL/deCDN You should also remove the check for the acceptable version of the extension. Considering that few people make them now and you have to search many to find a working version. It is probably better to do the same for your other browsers, especially iceape, bnavigator. Nothing is installed there at all. This makes ordinary users give up such browsers. -

This is a preparatory stage for the introduction of personal identifiers on the network. Do you remember the Microsoft passport that they wanted to introduce back in 2003? They are psychologically preparing the herd (as they perceive people) to avoid mass discontent. I don't believe in kind-hearted individuals who want to make the internet free for nothing. These individuals are either bought off and remain silent, or they divert the masses towards imaginary threats (such as UFOs), concealing real threats in the noise. For example, such a nuisance suddenly appeared on the last remaining Invidious sites a couple of months ago, and serpent can't pass this test, and I don't want to enable workers or scripts. Previously, these sites could be used without scripts. After introducing such a nuisance, there's no point in maintaining privacy. Alternatively, the owners of the last Invidious sites may have decided to earn extra money by collecting unique browser fingerprints using these protection measures against the dreaded pseudo-AI, which are highly interested in Invidious sites. -

has the Do Not Track setting been removed altogether? privacy.donottrackheader.value privacy.donottrackheader.enabled Or was this "standard" completely abolished under the pressure of rotten google? All that remains is services.sync.prefs.sync.privacy.donottrackheader.enabled. Serpent -

roytam1 basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20250503-3219d2d-uxp-5384bb6d14-xpmod On some sites, like only Cloudflare, an error began to appear previous versions are working fine -
Is the developer Supermium in this thread ? Is there any point in writing him about bugs here ?

roytam1 mail.tutanota.com doesn't work. constant loading of messages about some tasks on tutanota site when trying to log in. There were problems there before, but the site could be used. It's specifically on Serpent basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20250222-3219d2d-uxp-e43876ec84-xpmod
