devtalk.blender.org Topic is solved

[Raava]

My browser x86-64 Linux Palemoon 3.4.0.1

This moss coloured bar appears at the top of the page and the info text on the left part of the moss bar:

The two links in the text are these:
https://www.discourse.org/faq/#browser and https://browsehappy.com/
I am browsing very happy using Palemoon, thank you very much, why are you asking? (SCNR)

Web Console:

Code: Select all

uncaught exception: Unsupported browser detected

[moonbat]

The link targets don't matter - since they just point to their FAQ hosted on Discourse and what looks like some browser recommendation site.
Might need a UA override, but I'm unfamiliar with what exact type to try.

The link targets don't matter

Off-topic:
I know, but I just could not refrain from making fun on the name of the site browsehappy when Palemoon is one of the very few browsers out there that just do this: enable you to a very happy browsing experience (needed local resources and security-wise), only crappy coded sites put stones in its smooth browsing path.

Hopefully one can give heads up on the needed UA override since I am unqualified in that area.

I'm afraid that an UA override won't help.
Posting the console output would make more sense.

Use the Modify HTTP Response filter here.

[Raava]

Hi adoxa, thanks for your good work.

Use the Modify HTTP Response filter here.

Do I need to have GreaseMonkey?

I would like to be able to get a workaround without GM but I do not get how to implement

Code: Select all

[["/discourse|^discuss|^community|^forum\\.|cloudfront|resource\\.dopus\\.com|cdn\\.tarnkappe\\.info|devtalk\\.blender\\.org/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

I have uBlock Origin 1.16.4.30 and ηMatrix 5.0.3 (also called eMatrix) if that helps.
(I know using both is not recommended by some but I have no issues.)

I read the 1st page of the thread you linked and the last page, but still have no clue. Some folks in that thread say its a GM thing while others say you not need GM for the hack to work.

You need Modify HTTP Response.

[Raava]

You need Modify HTTP Response.

Code: Select all

modhresponse-1.3.8.xpi   15.3 KB

A 15 kB xpi is doable. Installing it now, will report later how it went. Thanks.

[Raava]

I ticked

Code: Select all

Enable [✓]

and put the above code into Filters
There is no [Submit] or similar button, so I presume that's all I have to do? And keep the mouse away from the

Code: Select all

[Disable] [Remove]

buttons, of course.

Yeah, that's the joy of 'restartless' extensions where they don't bother with an options dialog and stick everything into the addon page
Just make your changes and go back to the addons list, that should save the preference.

indeed.

That's what I already did.

Aaaand all done. And on https://devtalk.blender.org/ the moss coloured bar is gone, regardless if I load that page with JavaScript enabled or disabled. Good job adoxa and thanks moonbat for the heads up on Modify HTTP Response.

I presume all the Modify HTTP Response icon in the icon-area of my plugins does is disable and enable it since there is no menu available for editing its Filter.

Will mark thread as [solved] after posting this post.
