Instead, I was annoyed at what appeared to be yet another example of someone repeating the same old claims that I have seen being spouted for years I certainly still believe that Pale Moon is highly focused on privacy and security, and thus it would still fit in with the point of this list in my opinion, but that decision is not mine to make and I won't try to argue for its inclusion if it isn't included.Īs long as the further information provided in this issue helps at least one person who comes across it to make a more informed decision, then that's good enough for me.Ĭomplaining to your friends about misinformation that is not misinformation and expecting someone to do something about it is brigading. My other intention with replying here as suggested, was in the hope of providing another viewpoint so that at least one person may come across what has been said and give them more information to make their own decision based on that (rather than only being exposed to the "old and insecure" narrative). Instead, I was annoyed at what appeared to be yet another example of someone repeating the same old claims that I have seen being spouted for years, as a user of the browser, when the fact is that independent development - when done seriously, as Pale Moon (and Basilisk, along with other UXP applications) is - isn't actually a bad thing just because someone doesn't have the resources of Microsoft/Google/Mozilla etc. So that user was trying to form a brigade. I think all 3 are suitable supplied an excellent podcast detailing how much money Mozilla rakes in + some pretty shady happenings within the corporation/organization that aren't covered in any of the links above: Though I don't think it's "better" than the other two. With the recent changes to webextensions and the ui, (not to mention negation of user privacy with opt-out) they are emulating I updated my original post, had forgotten about Pale Moon. Here's hoping for Waterfox to follow suit: WaterfoxCo/Waterfox#303Ĭonsidering that incredibly lucrative deal with Yahoo, a lot of Mozilla's recent actions reek of intense greed & abandonment of principles that made Firefox what it is in the first place. Pale Moon have a few integral extensions: How can this happen? Probably the main reason why you see an increase in spam extensions right now comes from the fact that extensions are not audited manually anymore before they are made available on AMO. Mozilla no longer manually reviews extensions, so AMO has turned into spam central:.Dumbing down the browser with unneeded UI changes:.

#ICECAT VS PALE MOON VS SEAMONKEY CODE#
Under the hood, SeaMonkey uses much of the same Mozilla source code which powers such successful siblings as Firefox and Thunderbird. I forgot about Pale Moon, per suggestion: Īlso worth mentioning: - Though I'm not sure how intertwined Seamonkey is with Mozilla: It has been mentioned that compatibility with "legacy" extensions is also in work to be retained beyond ESR, as well. In the meanwhile, a “new” browser will be developed to follow the ethos of Waterfox of customisation and choice, while staying up to do date with the rapidly evolving browser landscape. Waterfox will now remain at 56 for the time being, following the security releases of 59 ESR until it becomes End of Line (Q1 2019).

For those of us displeased with the direction Mozilla is headed, Waterfox and IceCat are suitable alternatives.Īre either or both of these browsers contenders for inclusion or mentions on Privacy Tools?
