Don't you always do browser builds every week every time there's a change to the source code? I'm only just ordering cause you always build every week.

New Serpent build hasn't been done since 11-30. Be polite!

In an unrelated matter I've experimented with the apz.content_response_timeout a bit - to make content displaying more graceful instead of quitting. I've increased it first to 1000, then to 2000 then to 3000 just to be sure and it works.

P.S.: 60000 is better.

P.P.S.:

apz.content_response_timeout to 30000 (from 400)
network.http.response.timeout also to 30000 (from 300)

These 2 are just workarounds for the poorly made webpage, that doesn't load images properly. Not recommended for a well made page like techpowerup.com. It doesn't show images properly when these 2 are not on factory values (e.g.: Forum topic "What are you playing?").

He said he plans to update legacy browsers with a build,so we'll see by then....

 

I'm trying to be polite....

So I don't spend nearly as much time messing with the browsers as some individuals here do, but looks like my Pale Moon profile on home PC will need some investigation because I encountered some unexplainable issues in terms of working of certain web sites. Certain rare videos on YouTube just don't play when using Project VORAPIS, I get the message on the player screen that there was an error, additionally, videos on https://www.24ur.com/ don't play, I get o.ima is undefined error in console.

Which is funny since my uBlock clearly replaces real Google IMA script with a stub and window.google.ima is clearly defined when checking through console. Still, the site works properly in clean profile while it does not in mine. YouTube works properly as well in clean profile.

Who needs NoScript to break things? Extensible browser with many hooks does give an appearance of support nightmare.

I can hardly believe what I'm reading here.  A user of browser versions for which no money is charged and which have been developed on a purely voluntary basis for years (and this is of course very time-consuming!) has zero rights to order anything.  I regard such comments as impertinent and disrespectful.
What you can do with it is actually just this: 
And to give such claims a real reference again, new versions will come when they come. Be happy if something comes at all!

Oops, YouTube apparently solved itself, as for 24ur, I had videojs.ima$script written among my filters in uBO.

Why do you torture yourself with watching YouTube in Palemoon when youtube-dl exists, and search for screen tearing.
