I can choose to use Palemoon how I want to. My computer belongs to me, and I get to decide what runs on it. Why are you threatened by a small group of users who want a browser their own way?Īs for the HSTS thing, I'm sorry nobody explained that, I'd be happy to elaborate a bit more for you. Why do you engage with them if they make you so upset? Most people are happy to have Google control their web browsing experience.

I don't know why you are upset, because the vast majority of the Internet agrees with you. XUL based extensions turn my browser into a power tool, Chrome is a toy. And I don't want it either, because it makes them less flexible and powerful. I don't need or want sandboxing for my extensions - I can take care of my own sandboxing external to the browser profile instance. You are obviously not who this software is meant for. I'm sorry for your bad experiences with the Palemoon guys. I also found it rather lol that a so called 'privacy browser' has to resort to using google advertising on their main page.

They live in a small 'social bubble' it would seem. It seemed like their while mode of operation was very 'alt-right' if that makes sense. If you contact them on twitter they will block you. One of the developers (mattatobin) repeatedly avoids answering my questions and just says 'fake news' and goes all trumpian on me.ĭon't bother trying to ask on their forums about this they will just delete your posts and go on about 'the untrue narrative' without addressing your questions. Many of your sentiments there are demonstrated in that very thread. Their developers are also toxic that's all the proof you ever needed. There's probably countless other things wrong with it, but that's what I spotted after a cursory look. It's certainly not more secure when you've got all your extensions running at highest level privileged (not WebExtensions), the sandboxing code 'removed' because mattatobin a Palemoon developer says that it 'doesn't work', without giving any specific use case and their non-compliance with the HSTS spec RFC6797. I expect their shills will be deployed to this thread shortly.

Not unless you feel like using an antiquated browser such as Firefox 28 which is where it forked. Honestly I wouldn't go anywhere near Palemoon.
