@x_orange90_x

Get the latest Serpent(basilisk) 52 build - pick one of the variants depending on your CPU (SSE2/ia32)

For YT install the "Old Youtube" extension (not the  "Good Old Youtube" one)

 

You can also try NM28 if your system can run it.

Thanks for the reply! I'm trying to download it but I'm getting a Cloudfare Error 522. I've tried 3 different devices and two different networks but still get the error. I'm trying to download the Serpent 52 32bit.

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).

Awesome! That link worked and I downloaded with no problem. Thanks! The browser is working great, much better than Maxthon was. 

RainyShadow said I should install the "Old Youtube" extension, but I couldn't find it in the Add-ons of the browser.. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Nonetheless, Youtube did load and successfully play a music video. It was smooth for the most part with only a bit of chopping here and there.

Good Old Youtube also does a brilliant job of re-instating the non-polymer youtube interface (which is more lenient towards computer resources, especially applicable on older hardware/OSes), but, as it is an id-less Web Extension not supported on Serpent 55/52, it doesn't install out-of-the-box :( ; but if you modify its manifest.json file to include a gecko-id, then it will install (and work) OK! 

{
  "name": "Good Old YouTube",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "version": "1.15.0.1-unsigned",
  "description": "Switch back to classic YouTube interface!",
  "icons": {
    "96": "images/logo.svg"
  },
  "background": {
    "scripts": [
      "shared.js",
      "options/default-options.js",
      "logger.js",
      "reconstruct.js",
      "background.js"
    ]
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": [
        "https://www.youtube.com/*"
      ],
      "css": [
        "styles/hide-alert.css"
      ],
      "js": [
        "shared.js",
        "content-script.js"
      ],
      "run_at": "document_start"
    }
  ],
  "options_ui": {
    "page": "options/options.html"
  },
  "permissions": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/*",
    "storage",
    "webRequest",
    "webRequestBlocking"
  ],
  "applications": {
    "gecko": {
      "id": "{482060de-6804-4020-a1b9-16dc012a3c93}"
    }
  }
}

(The id string is identical to the one generated when the extension is installed in FirefoxESR 52.9.x)

That extension has some issues however...

The Good Old Youtube extension I linked to above has been recently updated to mitigate the broken yt search feature... :thumbup

(screenshot above was taken with New Moon 28; will look slightly different when visiting with Serpent 52 ;) )

It is currently ca. 00:20 GMT on Mon, Oct 19th and it appears the issue has rectified itself :thumbup; "o.rths.ml" is again accessible from my location... :)

ISP changed my IP back to old one, and my ddclient doesn't catch it up.

The laptop is a Celeron M 1.4Ghz with 1gb of RAM and running Windows XP Home Edition.

I think the fastest compromise on this Hardware is New Moon 27, especially if you run alot of tabs.

If you have problems with downloading from roytam1's space, the New Moon Builds are mirrored on my page -> https://soggi.org/misc/tools.htm.

kind regards

Can also use NM28.
My PC has roughly the same hardware.
But he has to choose his security configuration very conscientiously
Image below NM28 with 5 open tabs:

Upstream support forum thread:

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=25435

Workaround, that will restore ~ 95% of GitHub's lost functionality:

Install github-wc-polyfill-1.0.3.xpi from:

https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/releases/tag/1.0.3

All credit goes to (upstream) Ukrainian developer @JustOff ; however, that extension was created with official Pale Moon in mind, hence its install.rdf file has: 


<em:minVersion>28.14.0</em:minVersion>

Should install as is on Mypal 28.14.x (if that's what you want it for :P ), but to install on latest New Moon 28, one has to edit that line to read: 


<em:minVersion>28.10.2a1</em:minVersion>

The add-on itself has been probably inspired by the WebExtension add-on Polly, that was created for Waterfox Classic users to mitigate GitHub's breakage on Oct 14th 2020... Polly targets a Firefox 56 fork, which has a lot more WebExtension APIs than either Serpent 52.9.0 or Centaury; as a result, Polly will install on Serpent/Centaury, but won't work as designed... :(

Additionally, Waterfox Classic users can (mostly) fix GitHub by toggling dom.webcomponents.enabled to true but, while the same pref does exist in UXP browsers, Web Components support in UXP is extremely unripe/at a very early stage... 

FYI, github-wc-polyfill extension embeds a base64encoded copy of

https://unpkg.com/browse/@webcomponents/webcomponentsjs@2.4.4/webcomponents-bundle.js

https://github.com/webcomponents/polyfills/tree/master/packages/webcomponentsjs#using-webcomponents-bundlejs

=======================================

Some background:

 Before the Microsoft buyout (:angry:) , GitHub would support the latest version of major browsers like Google Chrome, IE/old Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, and care would be taken to not break the current ESR version of Firefox; additionally, "legacy" browsers like Pale Moon, Basilisk, Waterfox (Fx56-based) were "whitelisted" and treated in a special manner so as to remain compatible, but still on a best-effort basis...

 It well appears that now the "old" team of GitHub developers, the ones sympathetic to "legacy" browsers, have been set aside by the new management, which is hardly any surprise as Microsoft have colluded with evil Google, the net effect being that currently GitHub only caters to the four iterations of Chromium that dominate the browser market :realmad: (Google's Chromium=Chrome, Microsoft's Chromium=[New] MS Edge, Apple's Chromium=Safari and Mozilla's Chromium-wannabe=Firefox [Quantum] :angry: :realmad: ) ...

A script is also available to add to UBO: 

github.com##+js(remove-attr.js, data-pjax)
