Did you try to install the palefill add-on, could be worth it...!? I don't know if it's supported by RZ - DL from roytam1's archive, search for "palefill-1.30.2.xpi" -> https://o.rthost.win/boc-uxp/index.php?sort=date&order=desc.

Maaa...YT even doesn't work good with latest New Moon 28 on WinXP, it is lame like hundred ducks and will fill up RAM like nothing. So don't care about YT!

Try this... Install palefill add-on (if possible) and then add this to about:config:
Preference Name
-> general.useragent.override.google.com
Type
-> String
Value
-> Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0 PaleMoon/28.10.7a1
That's the User agent I use to have a normal Google search with New Moon 28

I think, I can second this even if I didn't ever use RZ or RZ browser.

So I've got a modern System with IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and Windows XP SP3 POSReady "hacked"? VOGONS works great here on latest New Moon 28 build! xD
kind regards
