Native compatibility

Unread post by moonbat » 2024-04-17, 22:45

Just visited my preferences after ages, and realized that for the last few months (since version 31 or 32, the one with the huge compatibility fixes) - I've been using native user agent compatibility based off a comment by Moonchild about how it may work better now, and I've not had any kind of 'browser is outdated' or other breakage at all! On the sites I frequent anyway (Google/Meta properties aren't among them)

Whenever I install Pale Moon on a new system I always set it to native and never had any particular issue.

It seems to do OK in general but there are definitely as number of problems still, not in the least things like Google Charts (embedded into other websites) claiming there is "no support for graphics". If we want to make Native the default, we really need to solve those kinds of issues with widely-used services by way of specific UA overrides first.

Twitter/X gives "This browser is no longer supported" with native compatibility.
