I tried with "DownThemAll!" (5 parallel downloads); 9MB/sec (my max speed):

Hi nicolaasjan, which version of DownThemAll! browser extension do you use? Download link please?

At first I thought this was a program, but I guess it is a browser extension only.

Anybody else notice with today's v45.0 that the youtube video page is shaking back and forth from the right side? I went back to the Nov 13th version and that's working good. 

Update: After re-downloading 45.0 the glitch is no longer there so I don't know if Roy fixed it or not but the video playback on youtube is very good for such an old browser.

Found this online service about website performance, accessibility etc, who could possibly give some information, I hope: https://wattspeed.com/

Is BitChute.com supposed to work with Serpent? I see only animated loading bars on video pages.

I blocked inline scripts in uBlock Origin extension and bitchute videos played, this worked in Chrome 49, it also worked in an older version of Serpent 52:

If I don't use uBlock Origin for example, and I only use uMatrix or NoScript, is it possible to block these 'inline scripts' in uMatrix or NoScript?
What is the equivalent of blocking inline scripts in uBlock Origin, if using only uMatrix or NoScript?

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP!

Didn't see this posted anywhere but a story from ghacks claims there are planned changes next year to Pale Moon. Looks like they're going back to allowing firefox addons, that's the good move.

The bad news is it could be the end of basilisk. Guess it hasn't been decided yet:

https://www.ghacks.net/2021/12/17/pale-moon-project-announces-change-of-direction/

One feature with Pale Moon is the home page lacks the drop down search engines. I'd miss that since I use it constantly in the newer and older firefox versions. Maybe there's an addon that could substitute for it. Also, it doesn't appear that Classic Theme Restorer works in Pale Moon versions, even when using JustOff's tester-tool.

Hi nicolaasjan, which version of DownThemAll! browser extension do you use? Download link please?

At first I thought this was a program, but I guess it is a browser extension only.

I have a version from DownThemAll! Nightly Builds.

Had to change 'install.rdf' to make it install.

So you better get on board with this and stop giving me BS reasons to try and push your unrealistic vision on MY project, or you can just right f*** off and take your ideals with you to Binary Outcast and spin your own platform and Borealis off into whatever you want it to be. I will not have any of it! If necessary I'll maintain everything myself; I don't need your f****** server you INSISTED you wanted to keep running "for the project". How much of that was charity, really? Or did you just want to have some leverage and control? Because that's what it looks like to me now.

 

Wow, finally!
