(The UK for example has banned end-to-end encryption on IM and some other platforms, so anything that claims to use it here actually isn't, they have to disable the encryption on the UK users' end so the government and such alliances can read it and not have to say anything about that.) Well, the best encryption today is so strong that not even the US NSA can crack it. Of course, that just means they turn to hacking techniques; i.e., finding vulnerabilities in OSes and ways to exploit them, which naturally cause havoc when they get leaked, as with the WannaCry debacle. I believe the idea of universal HTTPS was a good one: if everyone uses it, then its use won't be looked on with suspicion, so we paranoid types won't be targeted by the likes of the NSA or MI5/6 as "potential terrorists" just for trying to protect our privacy. That's also why the UK took the extreme (IMO) step of banning end-to-end IM encryption: if they could crack the encryption, they wouldn't have bothered; but if, instead, encryption is outlawed, they can just "assume" anyone using it is up to no good and investigate them. (It won't work though: the "real" terrorists will just use steganography to conceal encrypted messages in innocuous-seeming images, audio files, etc.; the ones that'll get busted are folks just trying to conceal an affair or something.) What does annoy me, though, is the way Web sites keep disabling older, less secure protocols and ciphers. Sure, the newest protocols and ciphers should always be the first choices, but there's no good reason to lock folks out of your Web site just because they're still on Android 4.0 or XP or whatever. But at least we have @roytam1's browsers with the latest NSS versions to handle those sites that require the latest security. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please elaborate, to figure out solutions? The prob is, K-Meleon may be missing some essential things, but it also has lots of hidden features which simply aren't visible to unexperienced users. For example most buttons have a handy right-click menu, which most people never discover just because they have no little-arrow as indication (example Home or Go-buttons) A killer feature is the hidden privbar (View > Toolbars) with buttons for 1-click toggle of javascript, cookies etc. Or the "about:about" page has lots of working links to more settings, incl. about:addons, which are not found anywhere in the menus, just because the GUI hasn't been updated in the last ten years or so, only the engine (install macro aboutabout to get at least a makeshift-menu) Copy+search: select a text in a webpage and hit the search button (or similarly: select a text LINK and hit the Go-button) Duplicate a tab: pull the tab into an empty space on tab bar (if any left ;-), or right-click on Go-button If you want a closing cross on tabs: guess for this there's actually a GUI somewhere, perhaps in F2... (would have to look it up, am myself stuck on old version) There are also macros for easy useragent-toggling, I recommend my "useragents2018" which also helps for easier managing site-UAs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathwiz Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 MailNews is basically an XP/Vista-compatible build of Interlink, which explains the link in the about: window seen above going back to Tobin's site. With browsers (particularly Serpent), @roytam1 occasionally reverts some changes to retain useful features removed in "official" builds, so even users of newer Windows versions may prefer his builds to the official ones. That's not really the case with MailNews; there's little reason to deviate from an official build of an email client, other than branding. @VistaLover found the source code for the about: window. It's an .xul file. I made a trivial change in my copy of the Interlink repo, pointing to @roytam1's page vs. Tobin's (roytam1 is free to incorporate this change in his builds if he wants); unfortunately the link destination isn't controlled by a pref, so it's not so easily moved to the "branding" folders of the source tree as the Help menu links were. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what happened is, I made the change, then started looking for a JavaScript function that I could use to tie it to a pref, didn't find one right off the bat, then forgot that I hadn't committed the change! Sorry about that. It's in there now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathwiz Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Should be possible - the official version is available in 64-bit form - but I haven't seen @roytam1 post a 64-bit build of MailNews or BNavigator, although he posts 64-bit versions of NM 27/28 and Serpent 52/55.
