Hi

Here is another streaming website that doesn't work at home since yesterday, with all uxp browsers from Roytam1. The website odysee.com displays a blank page, but it works with 360chrome.
"https://odysee.com" which is under the control of Google.

 

Videos play fine under XP64 for me using both newmoon or serpent. Most sites play videos fine except bitchute.

Odyssey works now in New Moon 28. But it showed a white page earlier this morning. Serpent shows an error page "Aw Shucks! Try refreshing the app to fix it."

@roytam1

I made a fork of your GreenPad's version, the source is here: https://github.com/RamonUnch/GreenPad

No Win32s version yet though (I have no Win32s environment yet).

Also, thanks a lot for your browsers builds, I use them all the time (for now IceApe-UPX is my main browser, but I do use others too).

This was a strange failure that displayed a blank page on launch on odysee.com on all Roytam1 uxp browsers, but inexplicably it worked on Windows 10 with Edge and especially with 360chrome browsers on Windows XP. Now it works again on uxp browsers, as if my original post about this problem was heard by the all-seeing eye on the internet.

No!

It's an indication that your browser is outdated!  Nothing more than that, no "conspiracy" going on, no "hidden agenda" to 'block alternative media'!

outdated because it doesn't tow the google line? I disagree.

They are purposely breaking 3rd party browsers with layers they dont support.

shame

I can agree to that.  Mostly.

I thought at first that you were implying that Roytam's hidden agenda was to block alternative media.

But I still think there's another side to the coin.

Look at it this way - let's agree that "googleims" intentionally break 3rd party browsers, let's agree that "googleisms" is a way for Google to censor what they don't want us to see.

So how does that effect blocking alternative media?

Let's use "wings" to illustrate.

Let's agree that "googleims" is a LEFT WING way to "silence" the RIGHT WING.

So if I am the owner of a RIGHT WING "alternative media" website, why would I rely on "googleisms" (code provided by Google) KNOWING they don't work in 3rd party browsers?  Answer - I wouldn't!

The "conspiracy" really doesn't hold much water.  Nobody is FORCING the owner of the RIGHT WING website to use code from LEFT WING corporations.

The fact is, you can use "googletagmanager" and "googleanalytics" WITHOUT breaking 3rd party web browsers.

If the web site owner is too STUPID or LAZY to know how to do that, then they have nobody but themselves to blame that their website doesn't "work" in 3rd party web browsers.

But it also comes down to "market share".

Whether WE like it or not, the owner of any website KNOWS what browsers visit their website.

And whether WE like it or not, that owner sees 2 million visitors and the number of visiting via a 3rd party web browser can be counted on ONE HAND.

So, no!  That web site owner really doesn't need to bend over backwards for those count-on-one-hand visitors.

 

I guess that was more my point.  But anywhoo...  No skin off my back...

These browsers are quite capable in fact. The ones with WASM support can run the whole f****** DOOM 3 engine inside and it won't hang it like many of the crap "websites" do.

They could send motion picture from the f****** moon over 50 years ago to much simpler TV sets, they could send picture to a web browser in 2021 that's only few years behind some stupid JavaScript bells and whistles.

If I can run a web app in the "outdated" browser that can send command to access controller to activate the output where the bomb has been wired instead of the alarm to BLOW s*** UP, then your ***** website could do something more interesting as well rather than waste CPU cycles.

Example of a more or less proper website:

http://motherf***ingwebsite.com/

Damn, I'm p***ed!

PS: I don't condone actually blowing s*** up.

It's a real problem for instance that some people can't use these browsers for stuff like banking anymore because of abuse of JavaScript some sites employ.

Well said! (BTW, one might point out that the (actual) left wing has plenty of problems with Google too.) But let me take (slight) issue with the following, as I think it leads to some interesting discussion:

I think the problem there is the implication that a Webmaster must take special effort to keep their Web site compatible with older browsers. But that's not correct. Browsers are computer software, not mechanical devices; they don't just "wear out" and stop working without maintenance! All you have to do to keep a Web site compatible with older browsers is nothing! And the best part is, newer browsers will still work with the site too! That's exactly what I'd expect a "lazy" Webmaster to do!

Instead, someone has to take special effort to change a Web site in order to make it incompatible with older browsers. But why would a Webmaster do such a thing, even if the "cost" is only a few dozen users out of thousands? (Seriously, I doubt BitChute gets millions, but the point remains.) I think that usually, they don't! Instead, they lease time/storage from a server farm (at AWS?) that just installs all the latest "upgrades" for them as they come out. Of course those "upgrades" intentionally break compatibility with older browsers, forcing their visitors to either upgrade too (possibly to a new Windows version) or stop visiting - but like the old Grecian Formula 16 hair dye, it's so gradual the Webmasters don't even notice it!

It is a "conspiracy" by the whole industry to keep us on the update cycle and buy new computers, and load them with Google spyware.

Right! Except it's not really a conspiracy - a secret agreement to do something illegal - so much as companies each acting in their own self-interest; i.e., to make as much money as possible. But even without any explicit agreements, it has the same result: the whole industry keeps us on the update treadmill, buying new, more powerful computers not to do more, but merely to run the latest bloatware that spends the majority of our PC's CPU cycles trying to convince us to part with our hard-earned dollars.

I'll disagree, even if only to play Devil's Advocate.

I think the vast majority of the "internet" is basically like MSFN.

And I scroll all the way to the bottom and I see this  --  "© 2001 - 2021 MSFN" and "Powered by Invision Community".

Does the "owner" of MSFN rewrite code for this web site with the intentions of making it "heavier" or to make it only work on "newer" computers?  My answer is "heck no!".

But said "owner" will perform scheduled "maintenance" only to let "Powered by Invision Community" add whatever THEY think should be added.

Did the webmaster write code to prevent older computers from accessing the site?

Or was the webmaster simply performing "lazy maintenance" and did whatever "Powered by Invision Community" told them to do in order to increment the "copyright date"?

Granted, I've never "owned" a website.

I just don't think that "webmasters" really do the bulk of the "code", I think they use "modules" written by large corporations and they update those "modules" under the guise of "security", "Powered by Invision Community" sends the webmaster an email, "Please update your module, the previous module is vulnerable to security attacks."  And so the webmaster updates the "module".

Just to be Devil's Advocate.  I've never "owned" a website.
