Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

Qt4 is the past [...]

Technically true, but so is Gtk2 and it's still in use (and requested by a certain amount of people) despite distros retiring it. I only mentioned Qt4 for completeness sake, and also knowing there are minimalist/lean/retro/etc distros out there that may benefit from such port. Dunno how difficult would be to squeeze in code for multiple versions of a certain toolkit but I know it's definitely possible. For a while I've been systematically building for myself from latest Github code all five flavors of Double Commander: Gtk2, Gtk3, Qt4, Qt5, and Qt6. All ready in ten minutes or less. Granted it's not as complex as a browser and it's written in FreePascal, but still.

Anyway, either Qt flavor of Pale Moon would be fine I guess. Hopefully this project gets to a working state soon.
