nicolaasjan Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results Anyone already got hit by the new AI results on Google Search? Workaround: add `&udm=14` to the URL. So, I made a new entry in `$profiledirectory$\searchplugins` to add it to the search bar. (with the help of the extension `Add to Search Bar` (link). google-search-web.xml.7z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I only use Google Search as fallback, but good to know. 19 hours ago, roytam1 said: Notice: twitter.com is now migrated to x.com, so you will need to copy twitter's UAO to x.com x.com redirects to twitter.com here. Is it supposed to work with UXP browsers? I only get "something went wrong" page, nothing useful in the console. Maybe it's for the best, I prefer not to touch anything associated with Musk, LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schwups Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Latest PM 27 doesn't start anymore - also with a new profile. However, I haven't tested on a clean XPSP3 system. It works with the previous Xul.dll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with the previous Xul.dll. got a crash here. need to debug whats going wrong here. EDIT: the last rev cause the crash, need to decompose it and test each change later. EDIT2: the last change in the combined commit causes the issue, while merging new changes fixed the problem so no revert is done.

modnar Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) From some webpages I visited - this new version of Serpent 52.9 (5-18) is really snappy compared to previous (5-11). Mighty fine. Edited May 18 by modnar added ver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) 19 hours ago, UCyborg said: Probably contains word it doesn't like, for example you can't mention the notorious config boot configuration file that was used pre-Vista, but it's far from the only word. I recently couldn't post normally in Thorium forum until I reworded what I was trying to say. You'd think if that were the problem, the forum could at least be a little bit less opaque and just say, "you can't say '<whatever>' here!" There were no swear words, so next time it happens, I'll just post a screen shot and let someone else explain to me what I said that was 403 forbidden. BTW, on my Chase.com issues, I discovered that, sometimes, it does work in Serpent, although that's rare on my home PC. I now suspect Chase has some kind of timeout, and since my home PC is slower than my work PC, the timeout rarely happens at work. (So now Chase is trying to require not only a modern browser, but also a modern-enough PC to run its Javascript-addled site quickly enough for its taste!)

Twitter/x works very well for me with Serpent 55.0. In about:config I added this string: general.useragent.override.x.com Then overrode with this user agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0 Serpent 52 same thing but it doesn't render as well as 55.0, which is has become far better overall than the older version.

Mathwiz Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) OK, now things have gotten beyond ridiculous. Chase.com is one thing, but now I can't even open the Micro$oft Update Catalog in Serpent 55! It starts, but gets stuck in the "loading" state; never finishes (not even with a blank screen). User agent overrides appear to have no effect, although I obviously haven't tried every possibility. Thing is, I can open M$ Update Catalog even in 360EE, so it doesn't require a particularly new browser to load it. Edit: Never mind. M$ update catalog loads just fine in a clean profile. (FWIW, Chase.com works more reliably in a clean profile too, although "fill login" is still broken in Serpent. I don't even need my StructuredClone polyfill any more!) Obviously one of my add-ons or about:config tweaks is interfering. Someday I'll learn to check with a clean profile before posting an issue.

Jody Thornton Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Wow! The Pale Moon team has to be so nasty (especially Moonbat) towards New Moon users. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=31168 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) You have to log in to view that forum. Could you summarize for those of us unwilling to do that? But even without reading the above, my theory is, Tobin trained them to hate us - how dare we presume to do anything differently than them - don't we understand they're perfect and all their decisions, including refusing to support XP/Vista, are correct? And that feeling lingers, even with Tobin out of the picture. Edited May 20 by Mathwiz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone try to get HVC decoded using Basilisk Serpent 52 on Vista? Austrian Broadcasting Company uses DRM protected webstreams for live TV https://tvthek.orf.at/livestreams Even if we got HEVC pass-thru working (on PCs with hardware HEVC decoding) it wouldn't help. You'd need the newest Widevine version to watch DRM-protected streams. No realistic chance of that happening on a browser targeting older OSes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
