Re: Really Man?
Why would anyone want to use old Chromium more than new Chromium? I don't get it... I find the idea that people could have nostalgia for older Chrome a bit weird.

Re: Really Man?
Apparently they redirect you to that page if you are using Internet Explorer or Pale Moon... so they are lumping Pale Moon in with Internet Explorer...

Re: Really Man?
What's not obvious if you follow this link to the rock directly, is that this is what you get redirected to if you visit the main page. They have this stupid script here...
So it is explicitly checking for Pale Moon via navigator.userAgent here, and using some convoluted method I don't understand to block Internet Explorer.
Gotta hand it to them, they really do manage to combine all the awfulness of Chrome and Firefox in a way that neither of those projects can manage independently. They have the worst of both... Chrome UI and Firefox engine. The other way around would be better...
Code: Select all
// Redirects PaleMoon and all versions of IE to Rock Easter Egg
var isPaleMoon = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("PaleMoon") !== -1;
if (isPaleMoon) {
window.location.href = "https://silverfox.neocities.org/really";
}
if (/*@cc_on!@*/false || (!!window.MSInputMethodContext && !!document.documentMode)){window.location.href="https://silverfox.neocities.org/really";}

Re: Really Man?
Haha, poor SeaMonkey. Getting called out as IE is a low blow.

I wouldn't give those mom-and-pop rebuilds of Chrome any time of my day.

Re: Really Man?
That's the worst part, it's not even a rebuild of Chrome... it's Firefox masquerading as an older version of Chrome.

Re: Really Man?
On the flip side, it's funny that they have to compile and customize Firefox from source just to achieve what Pale Moon can do out of the box with complete themes like PMChrome.

Re: Really Man?
More irony if you think about it: they are trying to market a browser, but are blocking people on other browsers from visiting their site
I guess they didn't get the memo that a browser download site must be as accessible with any browser as possible.

Re: Really Man?
I don't know if anyone noticed the tab icon on the website. It's Google Chromes Icon.
I guess you have to use the latest and sorriest version of Chrome to access it without an redirect.

Re: Really Man?
Or even in Firefox (or Chrome or ...) - if you're using NoScript (or uBlock, or ... to block JavaScript).Apparently they redirect you to that page if you are using Internet Explorer or Pale Moon
(But... don't try that in PM .)

Re: Really Man?
It doesn't do that when blocking scripts with eMatrix in Pale Moon. That's odd.

Re: Really Man?
Nope.
It's rudimentary browser sniffing. If you fake your UserAgent to Firefox the site will work with Pale Moon too.(No redirection)

Re: Really Man?
It's funny how opening the page in Edge still calls it Internet Explorer.
