Any hopes of getting yahoo running with the Modify HTTP Response extension? I have no clue how I would have to modify things. Or it's simply impossible unless transformstream is implemented.

[MrD2018]

This Modify HTTP Response filter seems to work -

Code: Select all

[["/[a-z]\\.yahoo\\.com|[a-z]\\.[a-z]\\.yahoo\\.com/",["/chunks.*\\.js\\?dpl=sha-[0-9a-f]/",["Fq:()=>n}),TransformStream;var n=class extends TransformStream{constructor(){super({transform(e,t){\"string\"!=typeof e&&(e=new TextDecoder().decode(e)),t.enqueue(JSON.parse(e))}})}}}","Fq:()=>n});var n=class{constructor(){this.writable={write:e=>{typeof e!=\"string\"&&(e=new TextDecoder().decode(e));this.readable.enqueue(JSON.parse(e));}};this.readable={enqueue(){}}}}}"]]]]

I don't know what the timeline is for adding TransformStream and TextDecoderStream to Pale Moon but hopefully it will be soon.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work anymore.

www.yahoo.com or sg.yahoo.com tries loading (some stuff appears on the screen), and then it changes into a blank page within a few seconds.

I get the same results you get, but I also get something added. After the blank page a prompt comes up asking to allow ads. But after turning off my uBlock Origin 1.16.6.1, the page still will not load.

So I tried using my backup browser, Waterfox. The page loaded without any problems. And this is with uBlock Origin 1.70.0 at the time of this posting, still enabled (turned on) with no prompt asking to allow ads. I tried loading the page a few more times after that and it loaded every time and the ad prompt never appeared.

BTW, below is the link to where I get my uBlock Origin for Waterfox.

This is why when Pale Moon has problems with sites, I use Waterfox as a "work around".

I ship polyfills for those JS functions in Basilisk. You should be able to copy/paste any of these into a GreaseMonkey user script in Pale Moon.

Here is an update, a couple of the variable names had changed so hopefully this is a bit more future proofed.

Code: Select all

[["/[a-z]\\.yahoo\\.com|[a-z]\\.[a-z]\\.yahoo\\.com/",["/chunks.*\\.js\\?dpl=sha-[0-9a-f]/",["=class extends TransformStream{constructor(){super({transform(e,t){\"string\"!=typeof e&&(e=new TextDecoder().decode(e)),t.enqueue(JSON.parse(e))}})}}}","=class{constructor(){this.writable={write:e=>{typeof e!=\"string\"&&(e=new TextDecoder().decode(e));this.readable.enqueue(JSON.parse(e));}};this.readable={enqueue(){}}}}}",",TransformStream",""]]]]

Seems to be working great. Thanks.
