If you are gonna use this you should really do it in polyfill style and check if it already exists and if not then assign it else it will bust scripting in the next version. Tho I can't believe you guys couldn't have waited for the next release to fix a poorly coded shithole like reddit.

If the proper fix is slated for the next version, couldn't you just use the hack and remove it when PM updates?

I'm not exactly a coder so this may not be the best method for checking but it worked.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==  
// @name         reddit globalThis fix  
// @match        https://www.reddit.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// @grant    none
// ==/UserScript==  
if (typeof globalThis == 'undefined') {
  unsafeWindow.globalThis = window;
}

After looking at some of the linked information I think we can pretty much agree anything done via a script is going to be dirty. I had to add a run-at document-start or it would not work with the check in place.

That's what I intend to do, but his point is a good one about at making at least an attempt to check before trying to set it.

I am not sure on the error it worked for me on Pale Moon 28.9.3 64bit Windows with Greasemonkey for Pale Moon3.31.4

If the original one worked for now you could just use it but have to remember to turn it off when Pale Moon updates. The change was just to try and be a bit better at things and check to make sure globalThis did not exists as I think was being suggested to prevent stepping on it after the fix.

Moderator note: superfluous quoting removed.

Got it working again o.O
I was using an older version of Greasemonkey from CAA (3.17). Grabbed 3.31.4, installed it, encountered problems trying to add new scripts, realised I still had the old version installed, uninstalled that, then it worked.
Not sure why the script worked for a bit using 3.17 then stopped working.

28.10.0 is out and this is fixed.
Thanks everyone working on Pale Moon.

[brknsoul]

Yay. Thanks everyone for the script and the update. I guess this thread can be closed/locked.

This script still comes in handy for Basilisk users until the new version is released (and I guess other older browsers).

Fail to Sign-in to reddit after upgrading to Pale Moon to 28.10.0 :
After upgrading Pale Moon I disabled the globalThis script, logout from reddit, removed cookies and cache... but then I failed to sign in (incorrect password).
Then i thought maybe I had changed my password so I reset my password and successfully changed it.
Then tried to sign-in with the new password but ...again incorrect password !

Tried to sign-in to reddit on a clean/fresh Pale Moon profile and succeeded.

I've never had problems signing to reddit before. Can it be a caused by one of my addons ? I have more than 100 addons so it would be hard for me to find which one causes this.

Very strange...I succeeded with a sign-in through the old reddit - https://old.reddit.com - and then switching to the new design.
