Now I don't really know exactly what it does, it just seem good to me to halve it, so I set it to 1048576 instead. Would someone please tell me if this modification is useful? Browsing seems more smooth with less memory being spent on it. Bloated sites can require an increase to 4M to avoid errors. I recommend you continue cutting it in half until you see problems on any sites. Edited May 11 by jumper
Markus Prokott Posted May 12 Posted May 12 New NM28XP build (Win32, from 2026-05-09) crashes with memory read error on adress 0. Starts up until session manager, crashes afterwards (with or w/o trying to load the session). More accurately, it crashes before showing the browser window. Starts normally in safe mode. Could well be due to my buggy system (WinXP32 SP3, AMD FX(tm)-8310 Eight-Core) or an add-on problem, so if no one else reports best ignore me. Also tried versions from 2025-12-06 and 2025-04-05. Both crashing. Last working version is from 2024-02-03.

And another little reminder: On 5/3/2026 at 1:16 PM, AstroSkipper said: @roytam1 First of all, thanks for all your releases and for trying to fix the favicon issue on your server! Today, I have noticed that you again changed your favicon. But this doesn't work properly. Your favicon is shown in the tab and in the url bar, but not inside the bookmark in the personal toolbar. With your changes on your server o.rthost.win, I now get the following error message: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol. o.rthost.win This now appears permanently in the Browser Console because your HTML document is not configured correctly. Ok. No answer is an answer too. I think this here might be a fix for your site inside your header: <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> </head> 1
Leokids123 Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Too focused on the UXP supposed improvements that you literally forgot about Retrozilla 2.3 eh?!
AstroSkipper Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) I love my uBlock Origin Legacy. You can use it to remove any nonsense in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52, for example, much too big and totally senseless pictures. Edited May 12 by AstroSkipper 1

I use a userscript where all images are TINY but then I mouse-drag-and-stretch if I want to enlarge. You have your issue-fixes, I have mine.

Download server is unavailable during the period. And just in case machine can't automatically power-up after this outage it may be needed waiting me to go to the site to troubleshoot so the outage ending time may be postponed due to this. Update: electricity company postponed this to early-June, exact date will be notified later. 1

That’s the case everywhere on the web these days. Google Chrome is the preferred choice, and a fairly recent version at that. So it’s nothing we wouldn’t have expected. And users actually go along with this nonsense. 2
AstroSkipper Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Any websites I can’t access on Windows XP Professional SP3 using New Moon, Serpent or Mypal are fair game for my Android tablet. It can gobble any modern rubbish. 1
