360 Extreme Explorer ArcticFoxie Versions

Hey guys, I'm not able to see "No items found" on Nitter anymore... in normal mode, with all my extensions... and you please?...
I think they finally patched up their website, seeing our postings in MSFN.

But always "Load more" problem - not loading more posts, but this same...

[NotHereToPlayGames]

I guarantee that the nitter admin did NOT see our posts here at MSFN.  Think what you want to.  But you place WAY TOO HIGH of an opinion on MSFN if you think web site admins are reading forum posts dedicated to Older NT-Family OSes.

It's NOT true.

sorry guys, tried to read the link and can't process it, deep sadness and hopeless feeling, will try in the AM. Thank you again.

[Tripredacus]

We can't all be everywhere and we all have our own favorite sections or threads to read.

If you mean Xper, he can be summoned when there is a big problem to solve and he would fall into the category of "web site admin" as you put it. But he is not active in the forum as you can tell and also he is not active in being a hobbyist anymore either. So there may be little reason for him to decide to put in the time and effort to make a change for an older OS or "obscure" browser version.

It was reported 1 month ago... and fixed yesterday.
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/468

Nitter is more or less a one-man project.

"I've been unemployed for over two years with no income, spending time on Nitter is becoming increasingly difficult. If you find Nitter useful and would like to see the features mentioned below implemented, please consider donating.

In the past few months I've worked hard to ensure feature parity with Twitter, making parsing and rendering as complete and correct as possible. Along with rewriting the backend to use Twitter's new API, caching has been reworked to cache even more data, making Nitter twice as fast. The next steps are supporting embeds, developing an account system, content archival, adding an API, and more. These tasks require a lot of time, so all help is appreciated."

Thank you both @Tripredacus and @Skorpios !

 

NITTER is VERY good: gives privacy, is light... proof here, in the description, from Zed @zedeus liberapay.com page:

 

"No JavaScript or ads

All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter

Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint

Unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)

AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted

Themes

Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 58KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)

Native RSS feeds

Mobile support (responsive design)"

 

- so never NEVER use twitter, but NITTER.

Your point being?  Of course an MSFN site Admin will read your hundreds of posts.  A Google site Admin will not.  A Twitter site Admin will not.  A Facebook site Admin will not.  A Nitter site Admin will not.

THERE it is!  See msfntor, it has NOTHING to do with YOUR posts on MSFN.  The nitter site admin is not an MSFN member.  The world does not revolve around MSFN (especially not the "Older NT-Family OSes" threads).

The nitter bug reports on the proper channels (which is not MSFN) was reported on November 21 by GitGondola.

Your first post regarding nitter ( https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/?do=findComment&comment=1209723 ) was Friday, December 17.

TWENTY SIX DAYS LATER, if I counted correctly.

My point being, the world does not revolve around MSFN.  The nitter cite Admin is not an MSFN member and nitter was not fixed by complaining about nitter on MSFN.

There are proper channels to report nitter bugs and it was GitGondola that got that ball rolling.

 

But anywhoo...

But anyway...nitter is fixed for the above problem. That's the main thing, my dear Watson, which makes me happy to be able to use this privacy aware website better...

[NotHereToPlayGames]

How many of you have bumped into portions of text disappearing?

The "fix" suggesed in 2019 in the thread I pulled this image from cited disabling Hardware Acceleration (which I never enable to begin with, has always caused more harm than good and DISABLING is always the "go-to" suggestion to "fix" things).

I'm currently DISABLING Accelerated 2D canvas, will keep you posted if I see portions of text disappear while this flag is disabled.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

Good news!  I think!

I've kinda avoided using v13 (still avoid v13.5 but for different reasons!) because v13 was randomly crashing (especially here at MSFN!)

With Accelerated 2D canvas disabled, I've had this reply box open for an hour or so, had YouTube playing random videos, and had a Stylus stylesheet editor window open.

I think Accelerate 2D canvas is what was causing my random crashes.

Mileage may vary.  Will continue to run v13 as default for the next couple of days for verification.

I don't think so.
It's after setting the DEP to AlwaysOff, thus disabling the DEP, that 360Chrome 13 r 6 no longer crashes. Accelerated 2D canvas on disabled does nothing more here.
On the other hand the behavior of 360Chrome 13 M does not change, neither after desactivate the DEP, nor with  
disabled Accelerated 2D canvas: it crashes like before... nothing to do until now...

I tried disabling Canvas 2d as I'm having the typing in the address bar lag issue, still ... ugh.

Same! No crashes whatsoever with DEP turned off.

Also - flags.

chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode (disabled)

chrome://flags/#disable-cast-streaming-hw-encoding (disabled)

 And:

--disable-gpu

Please don't forget those registry modifications that (both) @NotHereToPlayGames and I use ... could help you get more out of your system.
