I often use this format: 

https://web.archive.org/web/1999*/https://www.example.com

to get the calendar for a specific year

Sadly :(, that "format" of yours no longer produces the "calendar for a specific year" in Tycho-based New Moon 27, so users of that (e.g soggi) and even-older-engine browsers can't profit from it... ;) Works OK, though, for UXP-based browsers :thumbup ...

Yup, you are correct (as usual) :(

Additionally, the wayback.archive.org URLs now redirect to web.archive.org , pfff. 

 

In the last few weeks i'm mostly using Edge on another system for browsing, and switching to the XP system mainly to watch my regular TV series, so missed the increase in broken sites...

Moonchild has withdrawn the PM 30 branch (both releases v30.0.0 & 30.0.1) and now (only) offers, again, PM v29.4.4, while a "security-only" release v29.4.5 is in the works...

The PM 30 milestone will be re-engineered, with a strong probability of the dual GUID system - as was in v29.1.1 - coming back, and a fresh v30.1.0 will (after v29.4.5) be released in "due course"...  :whistle:

So, perhaps, it'd be prudent not to hasten merging "current" GRE into "our" UXP tree (as suggested by

https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commits/custom

) ; what are your plans?

Many thanks! :)

as you see, I cherry-picked some GRE changes (without crazy file rearrangements and code removals) and new release (with revision version number bumped) will be released in this weekend.

I, personally, don't give [html5test.com] the credence/importance others do.

I had my suspicions; after all, it's intended to test whether or not a feature is implemented; it isn't an exhaustive test of whether a feature is implemented correctly. It's all I had to go on, though.

So, St 52's implementation of Custom Elements is still incomplete. It's probably the best we have until Moonchild puts some effort into it, though.

As for Shadow DOM, html5test.com claims St 52 has partial support, and that St 55 has full support. We'd probably need to scour Bugzilla for relevant code (and might, perhaps, find more relevant usable code in FF 54 and 55. I doubt anything later could be merged into either Serpent version though).

BTW, it turns out that setting dom.webcomponents.enabled breaks Chase.com in St 52 too, although it's not as badly broken as in St 55. Apparently the site is designed to work correctly if someone disables Web Components, but otherwise it expects a complete implementation. So my advice now is to leave the pref off in both browsers. If anyone discovers a specific Web site that only works with the setting enabled, make a copy of your main profile, and just toggle that pref on in the copy, so you can use that profile for the site that requires it. (Let the rest of us know what you find too.)

There is an error on this website.   http://customer.xfinity.com/?beta=1

A rendering error occurred: e.attachShadow is not a function.  Version is New Moon 28.10.4a1 (32 bit) (2022-01-07)

[dom.webcomponents.enabled] "kind of" worked on Xfinity

Since this error appears to be related to missing Shadow DOM support, I'm testing in St 55.... BRB....

Well, that was sort of a bust. Couldn't really test anything since I'm not a Comcast customer (thank goodness), so no signing on for me! I'm guessing @Art7220 couldn't sign in with the pref disabled, got further with it enabled, but gave up because setting the pref broke YouTube (a la my experience with Chase). Be interesting for a Comcast customer to try this and see what the issues are with the pref disabled and with it enabled, not only in a UXP browser like NM but also in St 55.

Hi, please could you try the website https://www.rb.cz and click VSTUP NA UCET (sign in account) on the top right? In my case nothing happens now. Some weeks ago it stopped working on my WinXP browsers and even it doesn't work under latest Mozilla Seamonkey x64 under Win10-x64 but it works under MS Edge. Anybody has a succes with some of WinXP browsers there? What the hell they coded inside?

From what I see in the page source it could be attributable to Polyfill.

But I can't fully verify with W.XP.

Try the extension:

 

https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases/tag/v1.6

 

Quote

This addon is aimed at UXP and Pale Moon

Seamonkey support is mostly untested

Yeah, sadly it stopped working for me many years ago already (old OS), real killer prob.
Until finally (!!!) discovering it can alternatively be used by typing URL parameters :-)
This works even with the most ancient browsers (if no fallback available):

1) If URL is known, this gets the LAST version:
https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.example.com

2) If URL is known, a CROPPED DATE (any length) gets the CLOSEST version, e.g.:
https://web.archive.org/web/19990401/https://www.example.com

3) Therefore, this gets the OLDEST version at all, first one after Jan 1 1000 ;-)
https://web.archive.org/web/1/https://www.example.com

4) This creates a NEW archive of the current page:
https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.example.com

(And if a URL is not known exactly, there are also strings to get a plain txt list, but more complicated)

Yes, it works with some "tricks" - but this is very impractical and I don't know, if it would fulfill all my needs. The good thing about it is you can use these "tricks" as short-cuts in general no matter what browser you use.

Doesn't work with NM28 - nothing happens, except a "#" is added at the end of the URL in the address bar.

kind regards

Wow!  I feel "fortunate" that I was traveling and only trial-ran (what I will call) POS PM 30 from a hotel room on an experimental labtop with an experimental VM, both of which have already been deleted.

Hint - POS does NOT stand for "point of sale" !

Doesn't work with: Chrome 49, FF 52.9, Mypal 28.17.0, 360Chrome v12.

Works with 360Chrome v13.

You beat me to it - nothing happens in my default 360v11 - nor serpent 52. Starting to look like we have have to start using v13 and that struggles on my systems.
