Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
Virus Total has a new GUI and it has determined PM is an out-of-date browser and will not show you the main page any more. No way to contact them either as you cannot visit their page to report an issue.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
No user agent spoofing, native or firefox compatible using the drop-down, both do the same result.
I have no plugin nor extension to change the user agent string so it should all be as default in PM. Only started since they changed their GUI. I'm on PM 32bit version 28.5.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
VTs response was this:
I've tried it using PM 64bit, same result.Thanks for contacting VirusTotal.
Our site use Polymer V2 and therefore we support all the browsers compatible with this technology as described at:

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
When was the change, i was used virustotal two week ago it was the same as today.
And it works the same, i use native agent setting usually, switched the agent to the firefox compatible - it works too.
But there are records in error console:

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
I have the same issue with Virustotal. After some research it appeared that enabled 'Expose Noisy Tabs' addon is the case. Reported about that on github.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
Pale Moon natively shows audio indicators in tabs as of v28.3.0, so you shouldn't need that extension in most cases.

Yes, I know. I switched to native indicators as soon as I realized the conflict.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
The old link for me automatically forwards to satrow's link for me.
I'm used to using the old UI as well. The new UI is abysmally slow, and only half works on anything but Blink.

I only learned about it last year or so. Been going there much less frequently after that.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
since 2012? wow that was a really quiet takeover, totally oblivious about it. Well done, Google.

Re: Virus Total has decided PM is old technology
Yeah, scary. What clued me in was that the site stopped working completely when I added the google fonts domain to my hosts file. Normally webmasters like a bit of fingerprinting but they won't outright break a site totally like that when you block it. So I did a bit of digging and yikes
