Blocklist-Update.sh is a script that I wrote to manage blocklists from bluetack etc to be used in conjunction with Transmission torrent downloader in Linux/MacOS. The script can be taylored to work with Qbittorrent as well, but the placement of the blocklists means you'd have to redirect the blocklist to go somewhere locally manageable as Transmission uses its own blocklist directory in .config. I believe there are about 10 lists there now. It works well for my needs. It can be ran weekly using crontab in standard user profile. To download: blocklist-update.sh To download the others: Github
As
recently I uncovered, sifting through articles from Ghacks and a few
random sources online, I found that Pale Moon’s team of developers
are working on a direct Firefox fork. So far, the browser is only a
stepping stone on the road to what appears to be Moonchild’s
attempt at further advancing Pale Moon and transitioning it into a
completely new project. The code was forked at the precise moment
when Moonchild felt that it would best culminate with where Firefox
is heading, but also where it would leave full XUL and XPCOM support.
Pale Moon’s extensions and much of its code has been centered
around these two languages since the beginning. The new project’s
name is Basilisk, and while not a finished product, it is a milestone
for the browser developers. The engine is the same Goanna rendering engine that
has been used in Pale Moon since version 26. The look and feel of
Basilisk is reminiscent of that of Firefox version 56. The
browser has both Windows and Linux versions like Pale Moon.
Moonchild’s idea was to take the best and worst of Firefox from
that time, remove and or change what he deems to be unnecessary and
supply the end user with a well established retrofit that can offer
the exact same web standards support and security as other modern
browsers while allowing the same trusted extensions to work right out of
the box. In the Pale Moon Forums: “UXP will be the
long-term future for Pale Moon. As such, we need something (an
application) to develop this alongside our current browser platform
and back-end. Eventually, Pale Moon will become a "UXP
application", just like Basilisk is now. UXP applications retain
full customization and freedom in application layout code, so the
"look and feel" will not significantly change when Pale
Moon is moved to the new platform (somewhere in 2018). Basilisk will
allow us to develop and mature UXP so it'll be ready when we want to
move over to it.” On the Basilisk Website: “Basilisk as an
application is primarily a vessel for development of the XUL platform
it builds upon, and additionally a potential replacement for Firefox
to retain the use of Firefox Extensions.” If you test this browser
be sure to let Moonchild know how great he/his team are doing. Pale
Moon and Basilisk are the result of hard work.
