Browser Support • Re: Why is Pale Moon so slow?

We branched off and made eUXP around a week or two ago because there were enough (web compatibility and performance) issues in upstream UXP that the upstream UXP devs did not want merged in, that we just branched off to fix said issues ourselves. All of the new web compatability fixes is just stuff Basilisk-Dev has had archived for a while, but upstream UXP maintainers did not want it merged in.

I'm moving changes from Dactyloidae into two sections (since I still am not finished with that): ones that I think upstream UXP would like merged in, and ones that I think they don't.

I don't know if Basilisk-Dev is still contributing to upstream after eUXP has been made, but I will still contribute to upstream UXP for issues that I think you all would want merged in.

Off-topic: I think there may have been a misunderstanding here. Moonchild was busy moving servers recently and maybe wasn't merging PRs in as fast as Basilisk-Dev wanted, but we never said anything about "not wanting" web compatibility fixes. I could have merged some of it myself, if I'd known slow movement on PRs meant a fork was on the table, but I didn't think he was that fed up with waiting around for review, or thought the pace of integration and testing was too slow, etc. Or maybe he missed a merge window or something and misinterpreted that as rejection? This all seems out of nowhere from where I'm standing. If that's the case, I wish he'd said something before going this far.

But yeah, at this point we just have to live with it... a fork exists, and now we'll have to watch and integrate stuff like we do from Firefox. I'm not thrilled, but I'm also going to not hold it against you or Basilisk-Dev for wanting a bit more freedom to work independently from us for whatever reason. This is just something that happens in open source projects and we have to learn not to take it personally. Sometimes people just want to write their code in their own space and don't want to collaborate. Dealing with programmers is like herding cats sometimes.
