Other Applications • Re: Dactyloidae Browser (Basilisk fork)

I got to watch a friend of mine trying this browser on Windows 11 yesterday. It was pretty cool, he was able to add uBlock 1.70 for modern Firefox and it was definitely blocking ads on sites, although he couldn't interact with uBlock's settings.

This is a very intriguing browser to watch in action. Today I'll tell him to remove uBlock 1.70 and try to add the uBlock for Pale Moon and see if that also works.

I noticed that the browser was using more CPU than normal on the sites he visited, but since this is a work in progress that's no big surprise. The big surprise is that it actually works at all! We were watching a video with it, with clear sound, I was a bit amazed at this browser's capabilities.

UPDATE - it works! You can remove the modern Firefox uBlock add-on, at which point you see ads. And then add the Pale Moon version of uBlock, and it blocks ads. So you can really use both sets of add-ons. This has got a lot of potential.

Surprised latest uBO works. Tried getting it working on my testing and it just didn't work, maybe I improved it, I don't know. WIll be working on backporting patches from Waterfox Classic as promised too, aswell as working on the CPU usage problem in 13.2.
