Strange behavior of Win7/MSIE11

It looks fine to me, with script, cookies, 3rd-party files and frames blocked in Pale Moon. Except for the red panel at top that warns me I absolutely must allow script. The source code is mostly plain vanilla with script for Google spyware and ads. There's just one exception: A very funky block of heavily obfuscated script near the bottom. Above that code, in a comment that doesn't show, is this: "LEGAL NOTICE: The content of this website and all associated program code are protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Intentionally circumventing this code may constitute a violation of the DMCA." *May* constitute. So you *may* be breaking federal law if you disable script on that page and allow them to hack you with their grotesquely obfuscated script. | You're not actually supposed to sniff User Agent strings, | but they probably didn't get the memo. You're supposed to | sniff capability instead. I hope that was said sarcastically. Checking capability and not sniffing userAgents is a bald-faced scam that Microsoft are trying to perpetrate as the new norm. They actually spoof their UA in Edge. I had to write new PHP on my webpages to recognize it. They want me to give Edge my version for Firefox. But they're not offering to be responsible for the results. And I can't even install Edge. It only comes as part of Win10. That's not a browser to consider any more than Apple's Safari is. If they want compatibility they can either get their act together to make a real browser, or make sure Edge matches IE in its rendering.... which they won't do. |
