No it does not, the r53 is actually a r82 (they don't archive severely
vulnerable versions, but overwrite them silently). Instead of youtube,
most videos on Dailymotion are now broken, and in general this version
is very unstable. Did a check on later versions, but none of them
work with hipster.
So this problem is not fixed with that workaround, just shifted around.
