Go to about:config, configure a setting with key .com and value Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0 and you’re in. So, a simple reconfiguration of the user agent string fixes this. I’ll be the judge of that, thank you very much. But this is a retro machine! “Wow dude, pull that Ethernet cable, quick! It’s not safe!” In this interesting GitHub issue, someone says having a computer running XP connected to the internet “is nothing but irresponsible”. I get it, security and all, people should upgrade, not live in the past, stop using Internet Explorer, yadda yadda. I hate sites or apps telling me what I can and cannot do. You want to be able to talk to your friends, right? Switch to the latest Chrome, Firefox, Edge or download the Discord app to start talking right now! When attempting to log in, you’re greeted with the following pleasant message: That’s how Discord decided for me it was time to move on. Older versions of browsers come equipped with internal useragent strings that give away metadata, probably without you noticing. 32-bit forks of the Pale Moon browser, called New Moon, are also out there, being maintained by the same person. New binaries are still being produced, the latest one being only a few days old. Although the website states it is only compatible with 64-bit operating systems, a 32-bit variant exists called the Serpent browser. It’s based on the Goanna rendering engine and kind of a fork of good ol' Gecko - hence the name “Basilisk”. I use the Basilisk browser on there, a pre-Servo Firefox open source XUL-based web browser. But something dreadful happened a month ago. Oh well, still enough retro vibes for me, as I use one screen for both PCs anyway. I wish I could use the Windows 98 PC for that, but since we’re jammin' on the D2 servers, the replacement executable sadly only runs in XP or higher. That means I play Diablo II on a proper PC, not on a Windows 10 laptop in “emulation mode”. Diablo’s in-game chat support is nice enough, but talking to your friends while playing is both faster and more fun.Īs you might know by now, I’m a retro nerd. Since reassembling the Diablo II squad at the end of 2020, we’ve been relying on the Discord voice sharing service to mumble, curse, and muse about our magic find percentage, resistances, and whatnot.
