Do you plan on supporting CSS Nesting,something scratch somehow requires but UXP doesn't require?

Yes this will get implemented in UXP at some point but I don't know how to implement it yet. It's not like I can snap my fingers and UXP magically has support for it. It takes time to research, implement, test, and verify there are no regressions or crashes as a result of that implementation. That implementation affects the CSS parser so it will literally affect how UXP reads the CSS for every single site on the web. Even if we had an implementation it would take A LOT of testing before we'd feel comfortable merging it in.

Which operating system are you asking about? Windows or Linux?

I have not looked into this for Windows, as I am not a modern Windows user(I do use roytam1's Serpent builds on a Ryzen 3600X running Windows 2000 though).

I was already looking into doing this for Linux last week. I had to patch some code but I was able to get a successful build that works on a Pentium MMX and newer. The oldest hardware I have is a Pentium 3, it ran fine on that machine.

http://dl.basilisk-browser.org/basilisk-20260305163630.linux-i586-gtk3.tar.xz

I want to start making our x86 releases support 10.5+, right now we are stuck at 10.7. The contributor who does the Mac builds has an issue with his build environment where he was not able to do a build targeting OS X 10.5 or 10.6. It was producing SSE related errors which is strange because even the oldest CPU that can run OS X 10.5 has SSE support.

We did introduce PowerPC builds in the last release if that's something that interests you. You could run them in Rosetta, you might get Google.com to load after 1-2 years of waiting for Rosetta to run the browser.

BTW there are forks that targets even older PPC OSX, like PowerFox for 10.5-10.6 and MachFox for 10.4.

I have seen PowerFox and talked to Jazzzny about it a little. Hadn't seen Machfox until you mentioned it, that is pretty neat.

I do worry that I am taking away reasons to use PowerFox by releasing 10.5 PPC binaries of my own, but we have the PowerPC support in the tree so I might as well use it.

I had a hard time sleeping last night and thought about it. We don't necessarily have to modify the CSS parser. We just need to de-nest the CSS before the parcer receives it. I have a proof of concept that fixes a bunch of sites using nested CSS, although it isn't 100% compatible with all nested CSS sites yet.

ps. on previous palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20260307-d849524bd-uxp-2a33ab0e2c-xpmod - all ok.

hmm, suspecting https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2982 and https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/commit/daa31cfd597015fed4e2824e8a940cb1bfec1ac8

may do some local test build backing out either and/or them to see if so.

Please,can you tell which version of KernelEx for Win2000
you use ?

for bmc's extended kernel, currently it will work on v31 (MSVC runtime error happens in later exkernel versions)

@EAZYBLACK in Win2000_dev_community at discord pointed out that there is a version check in concrt140.dll causes the error, and patched concrt140.dll that treats all lower than NT 5.1 to be NT 5.1 will be included in next binaries.
