Re: Reader View for Pale Moon
Fatboy, I assume you want to hide the toolbar because it contrasts with the selected color scheme? If so, I can look into changing the colors of those controls as part of the color scheme.

Re: Raptor POWER9 Board
Does not run any o/s you are likely to use and is not compatible with any of the other major technologies out there. Implementation of POWER9 support in the Linux kernel began with version 4.6 in March 2016. RHEL, SUSE, Debian GNU/Linux, and CentOS are supported as of August 2018. Linux support for...

Google Plus Shutting Down
Google is shutting down Google+ for consumers following security lapse
I suspect the "security lapse" is just a pretense for getting rid of a social service that has been ailing for years, and likely was not very cost-effective given its lack of adoption. I'm surprised it took them this long.

Re: Email client (due to Gmail 2018 f*up)
Funny you should ask... Tobin recently started working on a sort-of Thunderbird fork called Interlink. Not sure how heavy it is compared to current revs of Thunderbird, but it can't be any worse.

Re: Mess after update
Hello again, updated allright on my laptop but then the add-ons manager was completely messed up. I have there: "addonsmanagerfix" since to me it looks rather nice. But I suspected at my earlier update problems that that one is the culprit. And it obviously is! I should have uninstalled it before u...

Re: Disable warning
As that option states, turning off the add-on blocklist is generally not a good idea, and is overkill for hiding a single add-on's instability warning.

Updating to PM 28 it went haywire. Please be more specific - what errors or behavior do you see? Any error messages in the console or on the page? Does it work if you disable all other addons? Where can this be found? It is now part of the platform, it's not something you have to add or worry about...

Re: Another reminder of why I avoid (as possible) all things Google
Unfortunately, you as an individual can only do so much. No matter what you do, your efforts will be undermined by others who will share your data without hesitation. Many organizations that have information on you have either sold it or have had it taken from them. Individuals who have you as a con...

Re: Help with XUL overlay error
Usually (but not always) this means that one of the strings you're trying to use isn't defined correctly. Your "pageflip.back" and "pageflip.backtip" strings should be defined in a DTD file, which should then be referenced via a DOCTYPE declaration before your overlay element. DTD: <!ENTITY pageflip...

Re: Another reminder of why I avoid (as possible) all things Google
Seems like Google is backing out a few changes after their power users complained loudly enough: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/09/26/changes-coming-to-chrome-after-chrome-69-controversies 1. The company plans to add a new preference to the privacy and security settings of the browser to disable the li...

But I'm not surprised ...

Re: Uninstalled extension data remaining in about:config
It's normal for extensions to leave behind preferences in about:config, and it's actually beneficial if you decide to reinstall the extension later. However, if you are certain that the preference is controlled by an extension you no longer use and do not wish to use in the foreseeable future, you m...

Re: Address bar search?
TLDR; power users prefer less steps to activate things. Bring back the intuitive UI features that shave time off our days, and don't bury them 15 layers deep. :D As a power user, I'm not sure if I understand what's been "buried" here, but workflows even among power users can vary greatly. For examp...

Re: Extreme browsing speed with automatic AMP page redirect
AMP isn't exactly a standard, it's a Google-made-and-sponsored technology for, as yami_ put it, faster rendering on mobile devices. It's probably doable enough to make something like this with a userscript or XUL extension. If you're looking for ways to view news articles with less clutter, there ar...

Here are the differences I can think of off the top of my head: - Basilisk features an Australis-style interface, rather than the classic one from Pale Moon (if you prefer the classic UI on Basilisk, you can use the Classic Theme Restorer add-on). - Basilisk supports EME, Speech Synthesis (though it...

Maybe you wont have to rewrite the extension just for this. ;) Considering that Opera/Presto's code is C++ while Ambassador uses XUL, XPCOM, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, the code is just not that compara...
