Thank you for this browser

Unread post by TommyKing » 2021-03-12, 13:47

hello, i have used palemoon for quite sometime 10 years or so. i just want to say thank you for this great browser.
although there's some issue with google's website eg: youtube ( fullscreen viewing is stuttering ) but nothing that can't be fixed with a useragent change.
the supplied useragent is not working for me so i tried to change some of it
i think it is because of hardware. it looks like different hardware need a different userstring
my laptops ( 2 of them ) is okay with default userstring. but my pc got stuttering.

here's what i change into

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.2
this userstring got rid the stuttering

i use Ryzen 2700X and AMD 5700XT

once more, i thank devs that work relentlessly to make this browser, especially to MoonChild for creating Palemoon for us

Fullscreen stuttering on YouTube

fullscreen viewing is stuttering ...

I also experience fullscreen stuttering on YouTube. However, fullscreen doesn't stutter when it's a YouTube video embedded on another site.

The userstring given didn't get rid of the stuttering for me. I don't think this is a useragent issue. I suspect this is due to the "responsive design" that YouTube is employing.

as i said, it depends on hardware / software. i forgot to say that when i use AMD radeon driver Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.2.1 Optional, whatever userstring i use it didn't get rid of the stuttering

i just update to newest Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.2.2 Optional, basically playing around with userstring again. because have time today. and the above userstring just works.
wierd thing is Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 is not working

seems like graphic issues to d2d or cairo on some amd driver?

For YouTube, this code might solve the problem.

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
MX Linux 23.2 (Libretto) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
Linux Debian 12.5 (Bookworm) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
