Reddit.com - infinte scroll and other issues on 28.9.3 64bit as of today Topic is solved

[kelendral]

Anyone else having issues with the new/current Reddit in Pale Moon today?

Issues include broken infinite scroll. Being unable to up/down vote, being unable to change date range for Top sort, etc.

Started sometime today as it was working this morning before work.

[Moonchild]

app.php/rules rule 5b. Please.

[kelendral]

Sorry, Edit done. Issue still remains.
As noted it was working earlier today. Configuration has not changed on local machines so I gather something changed on their end.
Similar behavior noted in Internet Explorer which pushes the recommendation to use 'old reddit'.
Behavior not reproduced in Firefox or Chrome.

Edit to Add a link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/free/new/
versus
https://old.reddit.com/r/free/new/

You'll have to check your preference if they both look the same or just click 'Get New Reddit' in top left.

If globalThis (ES2020/2021) is the problem then we're sorry but that is not yet part of UXP.

Issue #1570 (UXP) was created to track this.

Confirming that infinite scroll and sorting works after including that commit in the build.

[kelendral]

Excellent news.
Thanks to everyone involved in this great browser.

Is there a way for end users to get this build, or do we wait for an update to be pushed?

[adesh]

You have to wait. Considering this is low risk and fixes some web breakage, it may be included in the next point release (if there is one) which may not be much far away. But I may be wrong and only Moonchild is authority in such matters.

[Moonchild]

Firefox has a release tomorrow so we'll have a sec point release shortly (depending on MozSec release of bugs to me) after -- there are a few regression and web compat fixes lined up to be joined by the sec patches for a point release, and this one will be uplifted to release for it.

Excellent. Thanks for the work on this. Ever since Opera died (v12), and Firefox broke addons, Pale Moon and/or Basilisk have become my fave browsers, sporting some addons that I can't live without.

could anyone of this be a reason why I cannot post anywhere on reddit, getting either blank editor or red stop sign over post button, among other things?

[kelendral]

Using this slightly modified Grease/Violent/Tamper Monkey script that I saw on reddit with Pale Moon and it appears to work for now till the update

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==  
// @name         reddit globalThis fix  
// @match        https://www.reddit.com/*  
// @grant    none
// ==/UserScript==  
unsafeWindow.globalThis = window;  

[Moonchild]

It underlines exactly how silly some of this later ES scripting stuff is, doesn't it?

[kelendral]

Yes, if it was truly needed a userscript should not have been able to fix the issue. Just more change for change's sake without rhyme or reason.
I suppose I shouldn't say no reason. It does keep the big guys dominant and hurt competition.

Tamper Monkey script that ... appears to work for now till the update

Off-topic:
I believe this solution is incomplete and naive per https://v8.dev/features/globalthis but it will work just fine considering we are dealing with the browser platform only, otherwise using an official polyfill or this monstrosity https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/globalthis is a better platform agnostic solution, through probably not needed.

No need to call in a surgeon when a bandaid will do.

Cool.. It works, and if it works, I'm happy.
Like Moonchild says; bandaid and superglue will do until the surgeon comes along. Thank you!

[New Tobin Paradigm]

If you are gonna use this you should really do it in polyfill style and check if it already exists and if not then assign it else it will bust scripting in the next version. Tho I can't believe you guys couldn't have waited for the next release to fix a poorly coded shithole like reddit.
