oh god, Google switched from paged result pages to Infiniscroll™
-
tomman
and it's AWFUL
-
tomman
...wait, it can be disabled
-
tomman
BUT!
-
tomman
it still doesn't give the decades old "Goooooooooooooogle" page markers at the bottom
-
frg_Away
tomman well meany you cant switch to page 10 immediately and need to wade trhu the sponsored content and junk add-riddled hits first.
-
franstam
yes
-
franstam
why are u guys still using goggles?
-
franstam
not switched to ddg.gg or startpage.com?
-
frg_Away
franstam I switched. Just use it rarely these days.
-
tomman
franstam: sadly DDG/Bing offers less quality results than Google for my usual query (and Google quality of results is already quite awful these days, so not really a high bar to clear)
-
tomman
--lower

I always thought the high bar low bar analogy was lame. seems to me it depends on if it is high jump or limbo! ;-)
-
frg_Away
tomman well I usually find what I want and if I use google nothgin will change. If I quit using goolge like now nothing changes either but I am feeling better with it :)
-
WG9s
is there an expected date for 2.53.18 final?
-
WG9s
oops wrong channel
-
frg_Away
wrong channel but build is done and should be soon

My computer had to be rebooted multiple times, and the add-on to restore my session in SeaMonkey stopped restoring the tabs. How can I manually have the data in my profile be recognized and loaded?
-
frg_Away
if you have the old sessionstore.json in your profile you are good. Not sure about add-on use. Might be a corrupt profile now.
-
aarktica
frg_Away: It automatically restores?
-
aarktica
Oh, well. I will make sure that the profile folder is backed up going forward.
-
aarktica
Thanks.
-
frg_Away
Usually the last session is restored if you set it so in preferences.

1128|11:44:58 <+tomman> cool, Outlook revived their ancient mid-2000s UI for us~ <-- so they're now serving old OWA by default for SeaMonkey's UA?
-
tomman
njsg: hmm, now that you mention that, I have a FF52 UA override for outlook.com
-
tomman
--outlook.live.com
-
njsg
tomman: recently I got the impression whether that old-style OWA was available depended on the exchange install, I already had access to it, others at other domains didn't.
-
tomman
indeed OWA is what I'm getting
-
tomman
if I remove the FF52 UA, I get the full fat view
-
tomman
...on in this case, the never ending bouncing blue envelope because of the missing Chromeisms
-
tomman
yep, a FF52 UA gets you XP-era OWA, default SM UA gets you... endless bouncing envelope
-
tomman
I think I'll stick with the FF52 UA, thanks :)
-
tomman
whoever pulled that at Microsoft: THANKS~!
-
njsg
tomman: I can't say I know how do I get pagination from google. I noticed it breaking in image search some days ago. web search seems to be still fine?
-
tomman
older IS better!
-
tomman
njsg: hit the gear icon at the top right of the page, then on the sidebar that opens, select "Other config options"
-
tomman
again, click "other configuration options" at that page, then disable Infiniscroll™ there
-
tomman
it only seems to apply for Search
-
njsg
tomman: could the FF52 UA have been from around when I last checked? I remember some UA change made it load (but load the *new* UI, not the old) - Maybe MSFT changed it to load the lighter one
-
tomman
no, I had manually added the UA override last time it broke, it seemed to tell the Outlook webapp to load older scripts, or shims, or whatever
-
njsg
what I care is that (At least before this) /owa/ loads instantly, /mail/ takes seconds to load
-
tomman
now it just sends the vintage version
-
tomman
yep
-
njsg
so I prefer /owa/
-
tomman
yep~!
-
njsg
(as in, at least before you had to change the URL to replace /mail/ with /owa/)
-
njsg
I'm not even sure I get configuration options at google web search :-D
-
tomman
nope, you can't disable Infiniscroll for Image Search :/
-
njsg
And I can confirm, now FF52 UA loads /owa/
-
njsg
(as does IE6)
-
» njsg wonders if the problem was actually IE6 support
-
njsg
as in, they were probably serving polyfills or working around some features, perhaps that wasn't enough for IE6?
-
njsg
or maybe they're trying to market themselves as better than google
-
tomman
I'm surprised they still have demand for IE6 support... but then, this is Microsoft
-
njsg
Microsoft Exchange-managed e-mail: your messages might get lost in the quarantine, but at least we offer a "simple HTML" version!
-
tomman
I mean, one of my _banks_ still relies on IE6 on their branches :D
-
njsg
there is for sure demand for IE6, microsoft's decision is just whether they care about it or not
-
njsg
but now this is going to be funny for Google, which is killing "simple HTML"...
-
tomman
And now that I recall, at least OWA works fine on non-IE browsers, there was a time where it relied on ActiveX garbage, and non-IE browsers got nothing
