Basilisk 2025.02.22 Released!

[Basilisk-Dev]

Basilisk 2025.02.22 has been released!

This release uses the same UXP platform version as Pale Moon 33.6.0.1. The UXP commit hash is 7f2561312a.

Please see the downloads page for more information on how to download source code archives.

The autoupdate service does not currently support FreeBSD and macOS builds so a manual update is required on these operating systems.

Please note: This build is not currently available from the archive site. I ran out of hard disk space and some things broke so now I have to completely rebuild the archive site.

See the release notes for more information.

See the downloads page to download the update.

Many Thanks for maintaining Basilisk!

After having copied and adopted my 25.01 Profile to the new version and started/closed the browser, i observed a significant increase of the size of the profile-folder: from 47.2 to 59.2 MB - about 25 % (if i do substract UBo's sqlite db of 24 MB each with, the increase of the profile size is over 50 %).
There's a new 'Cache' folder in town, 12 MB in size (initialized), representing this increment precisely.
Since there's mentioned nothing in the https://basilisk-browser.org/releasenotes.html about new cache techniques, i'm quite curious what this new cache is all about, and it's advantages. (I hope this is not the new cookie db!?)

Kind regards!

Did the same procedure again today, and either way, pristine or a copy of a 25.01 profile: no new Cache folder appears.
Strange.
Are there any circumstances under which such a Cache folder (with subfolders 0,1,2, ..., F plus 4 index files) may be created?

With this new release, login on www.commerzbank.de isn't possible any more on linux, pristine profile:

"Browser not supported, You are probably using the Internet Explorer 11".

Those web-,developers' seem to be rather extreme idiots for sure, but version 25.01 does still work.
Will check this on Windows later...

Edit: The same problem on Windows(7). Older browser versions (as well as older Roytam's forks) are not affected.

Presumably (as reported elsewhere) it's testing the user-agent for "rv11", which matches "rv115.0" - just override it.

Thank you adoxa: indeed, after changing general.useragent.compatMode.version from 115.0 to 128 i've access again!

At this point i accep the invitation of Basilisk-Dev, to insult, mock, degrade, or otherwise speak negatively of any web developers viewtopic.php?f=61&t=31734#p256469

1. they do a faulty comparison: 115 <> 11 at all, one should have leared that at least at the age of 10
2. they concluded of a version of 11, that it's ,probably' the Internet Explorer
3. they ignore the OS (Linux) completely: IE doesn't run on linux.
4. they didn't care at all of the ,unprobable' case, that they're wrong (completely wrong in this case).

This is the dumbest, most idiotic, deplorable, impotent and miserable web,developers' case for me - so far.
They work for the second largest bank of germany.
