I would imagine only <= browser build versions would apply. i'll give that font a try soon and see if the squares display correctly.

They're using an overlay so that only "members" can read the articles. I was able to get the site to work by opening 360Chrome's Dev Tools and deleting the "journey-blocker" element. On some of the articles, they had GIGANTIC image sizes and they "hid" the scrollbars. Best fix there was a user-style to "unset" ALL img tag height and width settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If so, the dismiss the overlay extension may do the trick, It does in most other sites with that strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 That web site is POORLY CODED. It's easy to "fix" using Dev Tools. But that doesn't mean that the "fix" can be 'taught' via a forum thread "KISS Principle" reply. WAY too much "work" to get that forum to "work" on XP. It's not "one" thing that needs done within Dev Tools, it's about a DOZEN things that need done within Dev Tools. POORLY CODED? Or the work of a GENIUS MASTERMIND? Guess it depends on your paradigm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) What am I missing? The site is readable in all my browsers, though layout is wrong on Pale Moon and there's a regex error in the console (invalid regexp group). Maybe it's a geo restriction? 9 hours ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: It's not "one" thing that needs done within Dev Tools, it's about a DOZEN things that need done within Dev Tools. Wow, your browsing experience sounds miserable if you need dev tools on regular basis. Edited November 11, 2022 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually almost never need dev tools. Mainly because my Proxomitron config already "fixes" the gigantic issues on XP only with msfntor's https://www.popularmechanics.com/ web site. When I visit a web site like https://www.popularmechanics.com/ and if it doesn't work, I close that tab and move on to a different web site But for a frame of reference, THIS is what https://www.popularmechanics.com/ "looks like" in XP without any attempted "fixes". LARGE areas of EMPTY SPACE between all articles making the web page THREE MILES in "height". GIGANTIC images and a hidden horizontal scrollbar so that you cannot scroll to the right. The images are also "distorted" where all circles render as ovals. Et cetera. That page is something I would personally never visit on XP if it looked that way for me. But my Proxomitron does make the site usable - but Proxomitron is not really for the average MSFN Member. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) You're right, it does look horrible, I wanted to say it's miserable if you encounter such sites on regular basis... Edited November 11, 2022 by UCyborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I checked again and it's not supposed to look like that. White space is supposed to be filled with an image. I don't have any Chrome 86 for reference at hand though. What's supposed to be Extreme about this browser anyway?

msfntor Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) The first thing to do with this website, if you use uBlock O. like me, and not Proxomitron, is to allow (put in green) www.popularmechanics.com and hearstapps.com. If we don't talk about the home page this time, but on the articles, the site is almost OK here. In the articles, the images are of good dimensions, the text is OK. Then, sometimes we have the links to other articles on the first article link. Videos OK in the articles.. - in DCBrowser I've BIG pictures on this website! EXTREME 360Chrome v13.5, v13, v12 pictures are smaller in the article tab (big in the new tab)..

Extremely fast startup, no idiotic white flashes (when using dark themes) to your face, compared to the ordinary chrome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
