pagead2.googlesyndication.com present in MSFN is a tracker.

It is also blocked by OISD full list.

I've never had any issues with the forum editor.

I assume you guys are blocking cloudflare/googlesyndication/googletagmanager?

I don't think that's the reason.  I have several, most recent browsers installed on my Android 9 tablet, some with and some without uBlock Origin. And I have the same issues with the MSFN forum editor there as I have on my Windows XP machine. The forum editor has still problems with posting special links or pasted code. And that for many months now.

Hi  ; In the past, I have politely asked you to put some more effort into improving the quality of your problem reports, but it appears I can't get the message through  ; indeed, "one picture is worth a thousand words", but in this case it's far from it... Please, provide "clickable links" of the actual problematic URLs and also try to include English translation(s) of the error(s) your Russian-localised OS generates ; if the errors you encounter are manifesting themselves ONLY when being logged-in, few here (including the developer) without a proper account already will go into the trouble of registering just to troubleshoot your errors ...

I'm in awe of your patience, @VistaLover

Oh, I don't consider whatever bad happens with content user wants to post to be "an editor issue". What happens after submitting is no longer under the client control.

Unfortunately, I have to report that the payment of an eBay item with Paypal in New Moon 28 no longer works.  You get stuck when logging into your Paypal account after a captcha request. Therefore, I had to make the purchase via my tablet.  Can anyone confirm this issue?

BTW, Amazon, eBay and Paypal have become really bad. These sites are much more sluggish in New Monn 28 than months ago.

I have now tried to log into my Paypal account separately in New Moon 28. I was able to solve the captcha and was redirected correctly to my account. The two factor authentication, however, annoys me as always. Why this didn't work during my payment process, I really don't know.

Nah... "They" were "bad" to begin with  ... Updating their code frameworks to target Google Chrome 125+ (which "they" expect every single one of their users to be on at the moment ) is what distances all these services further away from what UXP can (reasonably) digest  ...

[AstroSkipper]

I have just tested ebay.de with a more recent user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0. This seems to help a bit. The eBay websites run more smoothly for me with this user agent in New Moon 28.

Thanks for that.  I don't have uBlock Origin and I couldn't find the userscript,

... Discourse-based forums fixing userscript below: 

https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/?do=findComment&comment=1258499

... and a revised version of the uBO (legacy) custom filter having the same effect  : 

https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1258536

NB: Both above mitigations are "universal", whereas the Modify-HTTP-Response based solution you opted for (it was the recommended solution on the official PM Forum at a time the UXP platform was missing support for those villainous operators, "?." & "??"  ) requires manually modifying its "filter" every time you come across a discourse forum NOT covered already by the filter's existing RegExp...

Edit: I tried to add the updated filter as code to this post, but the forum won't let me. 
It spits out a "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access this resource" error message.

... Are you saying you tried to properly use the editor's code tag (</>), select Javascript under coding language options, paste the "code" inside the designated input field and when you hit the "Insert into post" button the "Forbidden..." error popped up? Or was it that the code was properly inserted into the post while in Edit/Preview mode and the error hit after you clicked the "Submit Reply" button?

Hello AstroSkipper,
a few weeks ago (Bestelldatum:05. Mai. 2024) I wanted to pay
with NM28 for an order on eBay with  Paypal and got stuck like you.
Only after visiting my Paypal account and confirming that I had read and accepted
the revised AGBs (GTCs General terms and conditions)
the payment proceeded as intended.

When I follow the link in that post, it leads me to another post discussing the Modify-HTTP-Response addon.  No userscript there.

I used the editor's CODE tag.  In my first attempt, I selected "No Syntax Highlighting" and left it on the default "HTML" in the second attempt.  The error appears after hitting the "Submit Reply" button.

... The userscript I mentioned is inside the body of the exact MSFN post I (searched and) linked for you  ; if clicking the link above doesn't get you exactly to: 

... then something's gone awry in your browser's behaviour ...

Tried performing payment with Paypal, didn't notice anything unusual, went through as usual. Maybe it's only noticeable on really old computers?

Can't enter my bank with Pale Moon anymore, the script hangs forever. Maybe I should start thinking about goin' somewhere else, first they made a retarded mobile app (clunky and bloated), at the same time they made retarded website which looks it was made only for mobile devices, they they cancelled the old mobile app and website and forced all users on new retarded versions. Afterwards, they obviously broke website further.

Actually, bank site works on another amd64 based computer, just doesn't work on a self-compiled build on a Raspberry Pi 5. I'll test later when I'm back home, have to try prolonging script timeout. I noticed the main script on that site has over 43000 lines of code (!!!) when you run it through https://unminify.com/.
