Government/Business use of UXP Software

Post by Basilisk-Dev » 2026-01-23, 14:00

The Basilisk site doesn't log any identifiable user data like IP addresses for example, but one thing I do have it configued to log is referrers to the site so I can see where people are getting recommendations to download Basilisk. I saw this: catastro.rionegro.gov.ar. Apparently that is the government in a province in Argentina

Did a quick *search engine name censored* search and found this page: https://catastro.rionegro.gov.ar/sirec/ ... index.aspx

I thought it was cool that an actual business/government agency was recommending the use of Basilisk or UXP browsers in general. Have y'all seen anything else like that around the web, either for Basilisk or Pale Moon?

Your link didn't work for me, but http://catastro.rionegro.gov.ar/sirec/smartLIS/ did. Weird.

Nice to see NPAPI enjoying official use in places! I have two Argentinian friends, although I do not know where in the country they live, and was happy to pass the word along to them.

Hmm, I've got my Basilisk set to no cookies from non-whitelist sites, so anything could happen, but with Basilisk and my alternate Librewolf both those links invited me to install Silverlight. On Linux? Go figure ...

So, I'm a week late to the party, or I'm doing something wrong. If I strip the address back to catastro.rionegro.gov.ar I get a harmless looking local govt page with a menu bar along the top: any link from that menu, in any of my browsers returns a 404. If I add /sirec/ to the address, in other browsers I get
Esta página sólo está disponible en Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge y/o Basilisk
Using Basilisk on catastro.rionegro.gov.ar/sirec/ I get a redirect that I have to click thru - to the Silverlight invite which also suggests
Si ya tiene Silverlight instalado, pruebe instalar navegador Basilisk
The link for Basilisk looks like genuine for the Windows .exe, but the Silverlight.exe d/l comes from their internal sirec page. It looks like they're not expecting any visitors on Linux (or MacOS?)
