I guess this is what happens nowadays when you're open with users and want constructive feedback. People misread it as a sign of disaster jumping at the chance of sharing bad news.

I'm starting to lose interest in the project after initially being an ardent supporter as it was keeping the old spirit of what the Mozilla community was about alive. The only reason why he's thinking of redoing Pale Moon with a later version of Firefox is because of compiling issues with Visual Studio, the Windows centric development is a huge turn off.

>>543947

Yeah, nonfree in the same sense that Firefox branding is nonfree.

>our branding included in the source tree is protected and you are not granted any rights or licenses to the Pale Moon name, logo, or other identifying official branding marks, names or phrases

>what are they going to do when multi process and web extensions hit?

This is something I don't get. I just want a stable browser I can leave running for days at a time and not have too many issues with or memory use bloating to insane amounts. I can't imagine that most PM users care much about multi process or web extensions as if they did they'd be using Chrome already.

As far as I'm concerned browsers have reached their apex in evolutionary form from a user interface and extensibility standpoint. If you want the browser 2.0 that is made to do everything using HTML5 with displaying old fashioned HTML added in as an afterthought then have fun in whatever has the highest market share at moment.

For Palemoon I think their biggest problem is addons and it's not an issue they'll be able to fix. I've looked into taking old firefox addons and making them work for Palemoon or just changing them slightly and it's a god damn nightmare, your typical user who never opened about:config won't stand a chance of contributing meaningfully to this project. When Firefox had almost half a billion users a few tens of thousands of them were competent and capable of making addons. When you have less than a million users there's no incentive at all for these people to bother with your browser.

Forking a later version would just be kicking the can off the pier. They don't have the resources and will have who knows how many security vulnerabilities as Firefox diverges further and further.

Further, they won't be getting the most important security fixes when Firefox phases out XUL, implements the sandbox, and finally integrates parts of servo.

> I can't imagine that most PM users care much about multi process or web extensions as if they did they'd be using Chrome already.

Have you ever used Firefox with e10s? If you haven't, you're just speaking out of your ass. I've been a PM user several years ago when it was still updated based on stable releases of FF and was actually faster, after switching to ESR it started getting increasingly more slow in comparison to the latest FF because of the deprecated engine, so I switched back. However after ~v37 FF has become unbearably slow and choppy, but then v40 hit Aurora and e10s came along. I've been using it ever since and it has been by far the smoothest browsing experience I've ever had. Also I would never use Chrome, because even with all the botnet paranoia aside it's just a really shitty browser.

As for webextensions, it's still too early to say how they'll turn out, but XUL deprecation aside support of Chrome addons is a good thing, if anything, the period when both standards are supported might just become the golden age of FF customization, plus it's the only way a move towards Servo can be made.

Because there isn't even really much of a difference between those two and SJWzilla. Very small differences are the only things that separate them from SJWzilla.

GNU Icecat or Firefox with some settings changed and no EME. basically firefox is the best full fledged browser, but it has a lot of stupid defaults settings that you can just change.

it has the same layout engine as Firefox. i don't like it because why the hell would i need an email client and an IRC client in my browser? no idea how well they keep up with security updates either. dunno how good the addon compatibility is either

Not all stupid settings can be "just changed", for example default FF doesn't even have PGO enabled by default and that needs to be done at compilation. Same thing will be true for disabling extension signing enforcement after the next update.

Enjoying that chrome-copy UI and useless Web 3.0 bloat, kiddo?

PM is still the browser choice #1 for Windows. I just hope they won't support asmjs or other attack vectors/DRM. That said Goanna is more smoother than their old layout engine and this browser is not nearly unusable as it is now.

this post is nonsensical because i'm too lazy to edit it
