Wicknix has released SeaLion 32.5.1.

New:

Changes/fixes:
Restricted protocol fallback for TLS. SeaLion (by default) allows TLS 1.3 to fall back to earlier protocol versions during the initial handshake.
UXP longer supports the data: protocol inside SVG's statements.
Enabled more validation/error checking for WebGL to prevent potential crashes.
Improved secure context checking for iframes.
Fixed the handling of relative paths in URLs starting with multiple forward slashes.
Security issues addressed: CVE-2023-6204, CVE-2023-6210, CVE-2023-6209 and CVE-2023-6205 DiD
UXP Mozilla security patch summary: 3 fixed, 1 DiD, 14 not applicable.

Grab the SeaLion-Extras.zip for some popular compatible extensions, themes, and Flash installers (no time bomb versions).
New: Added Secret Agent extension which enhances the privacy of your web surfing.

I’ve attached a custom userChrome.css if you want to adjust fonts, tab size, bookmark bar size, etc.

works fine for me!

Great, that it works on Debian 8.11. Thanks a lot for the photo of your iMac G3 with the new SeaLion.

The latest powerpc version of SeaLion is difficult to run in MintPPC/sid, see my post on the homepage of MintPPC.

I built this version on Fienix/Debian like i had been doing before. Christian (xeno74) built the last few on Void as i had my G5 apart for a good cleaning. Finally got it all back together. Should be smooth sailing again.

I compiled the new SeaLion 33.0.0 for old 32-bit Linux distributions like Void PPC without AltiVec support today.

[Yumiko Noua]

why adblockers like "ublock0rigin" and others (in the "SeaLion-Extras") don't seems to work? I mean, why on youtube music doesn't work?

(i'm on iMac g3 [powerpc 32] with debian sid/current)

 

[wicknix]

Use greasemonkey and view tube. No ads. YT breaks ad blockers all the time, so it's nothing new, and not really a SL issue.

Is it possible to make it run in void?

I'm getting "failed to execute, no such file or directory" when trying to run. My guess is that is missing libraries.

Do you use a 64-bit userland?

The 32-bit version works on Void too: sealion-33.0.0.linux-powerpc-gtk2.tar.xz

Just for info: It is possible to install packages from a backup mirror.

Yes, it is a PMG5 2.3DC with a Radeon HD 4550 running 64-bit Void.

I've already got a backup repository working from the Void Linux thread here.

Do you think 32-bit libraries would work?

 

[wicknix]

No. Debian64/opensuse64, etc is elfv1 and void64 is elfv2. You'd need to compile the void64 version on void64 for it to work unfortunately. It doesn't matter for 32bit however as those will just run on most any current 32 bit distro.

The best you'll get otherwise is my old Pale Moon build for void64.
