  1. @thezerobit for a good "lighter earlier Firefox" feel you might want to look at #Palemoon

    It doesn't support some of the more recent web standards, but it is actively maintained and quite performant

  2. @65_percenter How do we as end users (technical or not) make informed choices as to the security of a given browser?

    Is Helium more or less secure than unGoogled Chromium.

    Is unGoogled Chromium more or less secure than Chromium.

    Is Chromium more or less secure than Chrome.

    Is LibreWolf more or less secure than Firefox.

    How do SeaMonkey, Waterfox and Palemoon compare to what their parent project has become.

    All rhetorical I guess.

  7. Some time ago Mozilla decided that tabs had to be on top.

    I still know where I want my tabs, and it still disturbs me that the tabs are in the wrong place.

    I have just spent a peaceful retro hour or so browsing with Palemoon. Tabs in the right spot and coloured icons to ease the stress on my ageing eyes.

    Just like SeaMonkey.

    Why do "UX experts" these days have to constantly keep reminding us older folk that we cannot have what we need?

  12. #PaleMoon 34.2.2 has been released! This minor release fixes a crash that can be triggered by a certain extension by backing out an erroneous backporting of a security fix, as well as fixing more applicable security bugs from the Mozilla security advisory that couldn't make it in the previous minor release.

  13. Debian packages for 34.2.0 compiled with gtk2 for amd64/arm64/i386 have been uploaded to wmlive.rumbero.org/repo/pool/m .

    Variants for bookworm are distinguishable by the subrelease version 0wmlive0, and those for trixie by the subrelease version 0wmlive1.

  22. #PaleMoon 34.1.0 has been released! This is a development and security update, as well as a bugfix for several important issues with what was intended for the milestone release. Check out the release notes linked below!

    https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml#v34.1.0

    Note: Our generic Linux builds for this release are built and signed by Moonchild this cycle, due to limited availability of the normal Linux maintainer.
  23. OK so apparently #Firefox 147 is the last one I'll have and use. I guess #WaterFox and #PaleMoon will be my next contenders as primary browsers. Any recommendations on what to use on #Android instead? I'm currently using #Fennec which is the Firefox port on #FDroid.

  24. @palemoon
    I am suprised and absolutely delighted to find out only now that palemoon also supports gopher, unlike most (if not all) other more common browsers. Thanks for having this feature!

  25. Hyperthreading is kinda useless for compiling on an 8-core processor... Building #PaleMoon with -j16 doesn't finish any significantly faster than -j6 (and the latter still lets the system be responsive since it's not 100% CPU usage all the time)

    I guess it's just useful if you're stuck with 2 cores

  26. I've been using the mimalloc (version 2) vendored in #PaleMoon's platform code for quite a long while now and it seems to be stable (I was about to judge it as less stable since I got a crash when I tried to minimize memory usage in about:memory but I was able to reproduce it again in the default jemalloc too, so idk). It tends to allocate more memory than the vendored jemalloc though. Maybe history will be repeated and this alloc will be forked and optimized specifically for the platform like what Mozilla did to jemalloc lol ​:mima_blep:​

    The one and only browser suitable for everything does not exist.

  33. @palemoon
    In context of the project, updated gtk2 based 34.0.1 debian packages for i386, amd64, and arm64 have been made available here:

    wmlive.rumbero.org/repo/pool/m

    The packages using the minor distribution version 0wmlive0 are for bookworm, and those with minor distribution version 0wmlive1 are for trixie.

    Thanks for creating the browser!

  34. #PaleMoon 34.0.1 has been released. This is a critical bugfix release which backs out two changes that have been causing stability issues like browser hangs and memory exhaustion. If you're affected by this we recommend updating to this version.

    https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml#v34.0.1
  35. Disponible Pale Moon v34

    Hoy se publicó una versión mayor nueva del navegador web Pale Moon. Este proyecto empezó como un derivado del código de Mozilla Firefox, pero siguió su propia línea alternativa de desarrollo. Pale Moon usa el motor Goanna, un fork de Gecko (el motor de Firefox). Además de tener cosas en común con Gecko, provee el framework base para XUL.

  37. Looking at #PaleMoon's issue tracker rn and I think I'm losing my fucking mind ​:mima_acchi_kocchi:​

  38. Our first version update for #PaleMoon this year of 2026 is a milestone release, published today! We're now in 34.0.0 :awoos_externally:

    We've finally landed many additions and changes for this milestone, so make sure to read our release notes!

    (A keen-eyed reader would notice that this update made us ahead of the mainstream browsers right now on some fronts. Unicode 17 support is a notable example :shiro_wink:)
