UBlock for Palemoon 32-bit

Post by amethyst »

I used to have this installed for Palemoon 32 but have forgotten how I did it last time. Downloaded the legacy version but it doesn't install for me In Palemoon 29.1. Any ideas?

You first have to install the ca-archive now at version 2.0.3, https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive. FYI, I'm currently using the 64bit version of Palemoon and Ublock Origin version 1.13.4. If ca-archive offers choices, it's likely that version will also be right for 32bit palemoon.

The download is more than 42MB, no thank you. I installed UBlock in Firefox, the add-on was about 3mb. All extensions (hundreds of them) install seamlessly with Firefox, that's another huge plus.

FYI, I'm currently using the 64bit version of Palemoon and Ublock Origin version 1.13.4.

Can I ask if you are using Ublock Origin v 1.13.4 with the 64bit palemoon v 32.0.0. I find it impossible to install ublock at all on a new copy of this latest latest version. The 64bit palemoon v 32.0.0. will not even properly open this page https://gitlab.com/gorhill/uBlock/-/tree/1.13.4. An older version of palemoon on which ublock has already been installed and is working will still run ublock even when updated.

You first have to install the ca-archive now at version 2.0.3, https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive.

I have opened this page but I am not really sure what I am being asked to install or why. Could you explain this please. I am currently using adblock latitude v 5.0.9 on the new copy of palemoon v 32.0.0 in F96-CE but I would prefer to use adblock origin if I could get it to install. If anyone has managed to do this I would appreciate if you could tell me how you did it.

Regards,

Ken.

@amethyst
It is possible to run uBlock Origin in both New Moon Version 29.4.1 (32-bit) and Seamonkey 2.53.14 (32-bit)
without any further libs.

To be clear. The desktop computer from which I'm posting:
Dell Optiplex 760 Dual-core with 4 Gigs RAM.
Operating system: Puppy Xenial 7.0.6 32-bit upgraded with a 4.9.56 kernel.

New Moon Version 29.4.1. Full title, New Moon_29.4.1_SSE_glibc228-portable32.
uBlock Origin, 1.16.4.30

Seamonkey, 2.53.14.
uBlock 1.16.4.28

To install uBlock. Both browsers are placed outside the Puppy frugal install on the main hard drive. Navigate to wherever the browser is: go into the main area of New Moon or Seamonkey/profile/extensions
Open the above and just drag-drop the uBlock.xpi add-on into the folder.
Start up the browser, main menu: Tools, Add-on's (Manager for SM). Check that the uBlock is Enabled.

Hope that helps. Incidentally, uBlock can be dropped into the Pale Moon 29.1 and newer but... although the blocker shows up on the upper menu - and appears functional, at least in part - where there should be clickable control icons there are empty surround red-lined boxes. Probably a missing/updated lib thing. So the caveat, as per usual is, 'try at your own risk'.

I installed AdBlock Latitude instead. That was easy and works well.

Recently needed to add Ublock Origin to Palemoon 29.4.4. and found this site which maintains legacy versions:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-f ... /releases.
Clicked on the .xpi file, but it would not install or download. Here was the fix:

-open a NON mozilla based browsers such as Chrome, Chromium, etc.
-download the .xpi file
-open Palemoon
-drag and drop the .xpi file into Palemoon
