Seems that's probably caused by Netflix's user agent sniffing. Apparently Netflix was working in Pale Moon in June, due to Pale Moon's special UserAgent (UA) string preference setting for Netflix, according to people in this thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8509 However, maybe Netflix site has been changed since then, and if so maybe the UA string needs to be changed. If you can be bothered, you could check (in about:config) whether the preference: "general.useragent.override.netflix.com" exists in your Pale Moon installation, and if not add it as discussed in the above mentioned thread, and/or trying changing it to the same UA string as your Firefox browser. Re Ghostery, reportedly it will work in Pale Moon if the user disables addon compatability checking, as explained in the third post in this thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8676 Re Privacy Badger (PB), apparently v1.0 broke compatibility with Pale Moon (i.e. older versions of PB work). It's apparently believed that the forthcoming "2.0 milestone" version of PB will restore compatibility, according to: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9097 Obviously the above type of workarounds would be inconvenient, etc, for some, perhaps many, potential users, but they're typical of the situation whenever one chooses to use a browser that isn't one of the best known two, or in more recent years, three. I'm reminded of some web site's sniffing / incompability with Opera, especially in its early days. Imo, Pale Moon's "solution" to that problem, at least for users who have the inclination and time to make config adjustments, is much better than Opera's ever was, see: "What to do when a website doesn't recognize Pale Moon" https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=6004 So far (in ~6 weeks), I haven't come across any web site where I've had to change the UA string and all but 1 extension I tried to install just worked. Obviously individuals' mileage will vary. Irene _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
