I was doing some testing with Basilisk on Linux Mint 22.3, and clicked on a link that went to msn.com. It came up with a screen that read, "MSN ending support for Internet Explorer", and had a link to download Microsoft Edge. (Which of course I would NEVER use!!)
I suspect the culprit is an outdated general.useragent entry for msn.com in Basilisk. If I make the useragent entry for msn.com the same as it is in Paul Moon, it works as it should.
It appears there could be several general.useragent entries in Basilisk that might be outdated, is it possible they need to be reviewed and updated? That might keep other users from having a similar problem...

Re: Problem with msn.com
I just took a look. The site works if I completely remove the useragent override for msn.com altogether so I will go ahead and make that change. This will be fixed in the next Basilisk release.
