Hello, I just want to say a few points:

I’d like to get a Qt6 version of Pale Moon since I use LXQt and mostly Qt apps (I switched to Qt software when Gtk2 software started to switch to Gtk3, because Gtk3 is shit). The Gtk2 version is fine for now though. Gtk3, I’d rather not have to use that.
It would be a mistake to make a Qt5 version, Qt5 is deprecated. At least on Gentoo I had to remove all traces of Qt5 a few weeks ago or I would get problems; they also removed all Qt5 applications from their repos.
Using something like SDL or FLTK might provide less maintenance burden in the long run, but then the browser will look and feel out of place compared to other apps…
