Pale Moon Increasingly unsupported

X-post for Linux & Windows as this is about cross-OS browser support ...

Sometime yesterday YouTube changed something about their site that means
that now it breaks in the latest v33.0.2 of Pale Moon on W7 64-bit ...

www.macfh.co.uk/Temp/YouTube_Pale_Moon.jpg

... and over time I've increasingly been noticing similar problems in
Linux, though I haven't tried that particular site under that OS. Sites
that don't work any more in Pale Moon include my bank, my website host,
eBay, Tesco, etc.

I could just use the latest version 115.9.1esr of Firefox, which loads
all of them just fine ...

www.macfh.co.uk/Temp/YouTube_Firefox.jpg

... but my reason for using Pale Moon in the first place is that I find
Firefox quite resource heavy by comparison.

What are suggestions for a reasonably light-weight cross-OS browser that
would load the sites above successfully?

Mostly impossible.
Maybe try Basilisk, but it is also UXP.

In the Pale Moon Forum the answer that came back was to try recreating
my profile. I created a clean test profile and YouTube worked in it, so
now I've copied most of my settings from the old profile to the new one
- a thorough bore to do, but most of the sites are working again now:

Now working:
My bank
My web host's control panel and online email
YouTube

Still not working:
Tesco

It's still a mystery why YouTube should suddenly have stopped working in
the middle of a session without my apparently doing anything to make it
happen, but I guess that's Chaos Theory for you.

For those for whom it might be useful ...

As there doesn't seem to be a Pale Moon equivalent of the Firefox switch
to create a profile, or at least I couldn't find documentation of one,
directly edit the file ...

"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\
Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\profiles.ini"

... and copy the section for the old profile into a new section,
increasing the profile number, changing the name to something memorable,
giving it a suitable path. Create the subdirectory for the specified
path. Then see the next section for how to load the profile.

To load two profiles simultaneously, use command-line switches of the
following form (the -no-remote switch ensures that the two windows do
not share code instances and therefore cannot corrupt each other):

"<path>\palemoon.exe" --no-remote -P <profile name>

signons.sqlite (possibly redundant now)

Bookmarks:
Choose Bookmarks, Organise Bookmarks, Import and Backup:
Backup -> Restore overwrites any bookmarks in the new profile
Export -> Import adds your old bookmarks to the new profile

To copy add-ons such as extensions, copy relevant *.xpi files between
the profiles, then for each choose Tools, Add-ons, click the
Gear/Cog-wheel button towards the top-right, and choose Install Add-on
From File.

That's odd. EBay has had a problem signing in for some time, but the
problem with YouTube definitely began for me around mid-afternoon
yesterday, although it was the same version and session of PM as in the
morning, then I tried closing and relaunching, etc, but the results have
been consistently the same since then. I have YesScript & UBlock Origin
loaded, but they've never been a problem before, and temporarily
disabling the latter (the former is disabled by default, it is only
invoked on the user activating it for a site, which I haven't) didn't
achieve anything.

What version of PM are you using, and what do you get for this URL?

Thanks. I have an older version 29 of PM on Ubuntu 22, and it's doing
the same thing. Back here on W7, I tried clearing all the YouTube
cookies, but it made no difference. I'm now officially baffled. Leave
it with me.

Afterthought, I wonder if there is there any way this could this be an
IP4 vs IP6 thing? For various reasons I suspect my mobile broadband
doesn't support IP6.

Not surprising. PM is based on the Goanna engine. Script
is changing so fast that nothing but FF is keeping up. I
now find pages in New Moon (PM for XP) are sometimes
completely blank because the page is essentially javascript
software and NM can't make sense of it.

I was going to install PM as an alternate on Win10, but then
I realized they also have few extensions. They block NoScript
because they're afraid people might blame broken pages on
PM when they block script. In brief, PM isn't what it used to be.
For years PM/NM has been my preferred browser.

I did a bit of looking around and decided on Ungoogled Chromium
as an alternate in a pinch. I have no preferred alternate to FF.
UGC is too much like Chrome to use normally. It's now actually
impossible to get a title bar or menu bar. The former I can
live with. But being forced to take several steps down
from a hamburger menu that's designed for cellphones, with
no possible justification, is just too crazy for regular use. In
general I dislike the lack of control in Chrom*. (I also tried
to remove the experiments icon on the toolbar. So far no luck.
In FF I just drag such things out of the window and into the
customization window.)
And I had to jump through hoops to install extensions in UGC.
Google won't allow downloading them without an account. (!)
So there's a custom extension for getting extensions from the
Google Store. :)

I'll likely use UGC only for rare occasions where FF has
a problem.

I used Waterfox for awhile. It seemed fine, but not notably
attractive in any way. The PM/NM browsers have been attractive in
being leaner and faster than FF.

Yes, the title bar removal is infuriating - especially as it is there
really, but is suppressed; you see it during minimise and restore (at
least I did on my previous machine - too quick on this one), and when it
crashes. I use an extension called Show Title Tag, which shows it,
albeit in small text in the corner of the page (you can choose which
corner, and easily change it).

Everyone knows what a beaker looks like. What some don't know, is when
the beakers get big enough (four liters), they're easy to break just by heating them
too fast. If you wanted to boil four liters of water that way, it might be
safer to tie the flat-bottomed heater to a variac, and bring it up slowly.
The small beakers are much more dependable. And of course, in the lab, everyone
enjoys four liters of scalding hot water going everywhere in an instant.

This one is a reactor.

In grade school science class, we were heating some kind of potassium compound,
bringing it to a boil and capturing the hydrogen that boiled off. The teacher
warned us not to turn the Bunsen burners up too far, so of course my lab partner
cranked up the heat to see what would happen and it exploded. I had glass
embedded from my left wrist up to my shoulder. I was famous for the rest of the
day.

Yes. You don't see that? Could it be only for some instances,
as a sample set? But it's not just the flask. I can't find a way
to get rid of anything. I was able to add a Home icon, but nothing
else seems to be adjustable.

But it doesn't much matter. The whole UI is so disappointing
that I don't expect to be using UGC. I can understand Google's
strategy. They want browsing as an ad-infested service and
don't want people controlling it. But I don't understand why a
group of people would go to all the trouble of removing Google
from the source code and yet leave such design flaws.

that don't work any more in Pale Moon include my bank, my website host,
eBay, Tesco, etc.
I could just use the latest version 115.9.1esr of Firefox, which loads
all of them just fine ...

.... but my reason for using Pale Moon in the first place is that I find
Firefox quite resource heavy by comparison.
What are suggestions for a reasonably light-weight cross-OS browser that
would load the sites above successfully?

While YouTube does change things all the time, this one is not YouTube's
fault since it's still work fine in PM 28.9.1 (UA Firefox 68.9). Same OS and
version.
