Platform Development • Re: Future of GTK2 and Pale Moon

But on Linux... it feels like we're becoming something else. Just a worse Firefox that can't keep up with modern standards, and which just barely runs with no NPAPI and ugly themes. That's... not a good place to be, you get what I mean?

And just to clarify - Pale Moon has tremendous advantages on GNU/Linux desktops, including substantial advantages in resource usage and the ability to control resource usage. Also, recall that on many distros you obtain a program like Pale Moon by building it through use of a "recipe" or a "port" or a PKGBUILD, or you just manually build it because you have some optimizations you are building into it. When you have to build a browser, you REALLY want to be building Pale Moon or Basilisk, and not spending hours upon hours trying to build a chromium-based or Firefox-based browser only to have the build process crash. I can build Pale Moon on my current system in about 10 minutes, with reliable and workable results, which is just remarkable.
