Furryfags, what do you plan to do when you have soon no home anymore?

Also, new browser plans when they are also unable to implement Promises on their own?

Palemoon is officially done!

I like how Palememe apologists are always like "Dude that's not true, it's not in the hand of a single furfag developer, there's a whole thriving community" and yada yada and now Manchild goes on official record he can't keep up with doing everything himself.

If the "old Firefox" feel is what you're going for, give SeaMonkey a try.
But honestly, you're gonna have a bad time with modern (i.e. bloated) websites and extensions.

I would say just give regular Firefox a try and fix it using Classic Theme Restorer and stuff.

I use Palemoon in my old laptop from 2008 or 9 because it is the fastest and most mem. efficient.

They actually toned down Hello a bit and also made it easier to remove entirely.

This solves absolutely nothing in the long run. You're only pushing the problems in front of you.

Hate Australis?
ESR has that now too.

Don't want WebRTC/Hello?
ESR has that now too.

Next major ESR version will have forced extension signing etc.
In a sense you're actually better off staying on regular Firefox then because you'll get new shit when everyone else does, which means it's usually easier to find a solution.
>>
>>53510280
Australis/webrtc/hello/signing etc are nonissues for development firefox versions, all of them can be turned off. The real thing at stake is classic XUL extensions, which will be deprecated. It's clear that neither Seamonkey nor Pale Moon can handle the legacy codebase and add new features properly in long term. RIP good old extensions
>>
>>53510383
I know this. I'm just saying ESR isn't a solution to ANYTHING.

A couple versions after XUL is deprecated, ESR will be based on one of those versions as well.
If they haven't deprecated ESR entirely by then, that is…(there has been talk about that)

Anything big three related is dead. Stick to Webkit based browsers. At least they aren't absurdly bloated monstrosities and you are guaranteed some level of compatibility because of all the Android, MacOS and iOS devices using it.

>>53509448
Just keep using palemoon. Seamonkey is a decent option when palemoon no longer cuts it, though, I suppose, but it's also bloated as shit.
K-Meleon is a joke, don't even think about it.

Still, I doubt seamonkey is as secure, standard-compliant, fast, or botnet-free as palemoon.

then it's time to jump ship. firefox won't be around forever. nerds will simply gravitate to the tor browser bundle, xombrero, or any other privacy-conscious browser, even if it's inconvenient at first

Pocket already got the same treatment (but hasn't made it to Stable yet) and the ads are already removed I think?
They have EME-free builds.

Mozilla has done a lot of shit in recent time, but they seem to be moving towards the right direction again…
>>
>>53510502
>firefox won't be around forever.
But that's the issue. You faggots keep saying this but everytime anything remotely decent comes along, you call it a "meme" and then it dies. Nothing remotely usable exists nowadays - palemoon was just a stopgap solution and there's still nothing in sight or announced. Brave could have been great and then
>Good goy watch OUR ads, not the site's ads! Hehehehehe!
netsurf-gtk could be good but then
>0 developers
>js never ever

Probably the only way I'd see a new serious browser appearing is if the palemoon team starts working on netsurf-gtk, but I doubt they even know it's a thing.
>>
>>53510449

Fuck no, webkit is dogshit. Slows down sooner than your mum opens her cunt to a stranger, uses more ram than your mum can suck cocks at once, crashes more often than niggers at your mum's.

Firefox on the other hand loves to hard-freeze for several seconds at a time while viewing pages with lots of images and other crap loaded. And this is WITH NoScript (and only NoScript + FoxyProxy) installed.

Yeah its not like in the old days in the 90s when there were no giant corporate interests in the web... Just small-time mom and pop businesses like Microsoft, Sun Microsystems and Netscape.

Also don't pretend that standards are useful or thought up by people who know what the fuck they're doing. Remember when XML and XHTML were going to be the next big thing? That was fucking turbogay. Also HTML and CSS are awful pieces of shit and the DOM is the worst API ever designed.

The only reason the web is still around is because browsers run Javascript and we discovered we could do AJAX in around 2005. Microsoft thought it was over after Netscape folded and were gearing up to replace the web with an application delivery system based around .NET. But no, we're still using the web.

* manual whitelist is manual, with entries added by vim-like command
* integrated vim-like command line btw
* fonts look terrible

so like adobe photoshop, i'll keep FF around for that rare task a slim browser can't do
>>
>Pale Moon is dead

No it's not? From what I understood of the post, the developer is going to rework the code from a newer source so the browser will have better support for modern standards, but it's still going to be branded "Pale Moon" and will replace the current branch.

They didn't "make" anything though. They rebranded Firefox 24 ESR, bundled a couple of add-ons and then started poking around in the code making minor changes, despite clearly being out of their depth and only having a tenuous idea of what they were doing. The fact that they're now admitting this openly is proof of that fact, despite anyone with half a brain knowing it for years. The Palememe fag patrol who defended it are suspiciously quiet right now.

>I care about the HTML rendering engine in my browser

>because we're facing some difficult times in the medium-to-long future with the way the web is developing away from actual standards, and "standards" being currently mostly dictated by the same people who run the biggest browsers (Google, Microsoft) and web services (Google again, media sites, Facebook) -- including the W3C being heavily influenced and/or strong-armed into accepting standards that rather describe the way "the big three" are behaving than what is logical or should actually be part of clear, separated domains for different technologies involved in creating the Web.

Except it is. It's literally Firefox 24 ESR with a few tweaks. The fact that so many Palememe faggots don't know this is amazing. I assume you started using it fairly recently and had no idea of its history.

Absolute bullshit. They do and always have relied on backporting Mozilla's fixes.
>>
>>53510828
>critical component of the browser
You mean the Javascript engine?

What do you actually use the web to view documents rather than using it as an all-purpose applications platform? Are you from the past?
>>
>>53510736
Yep. It's not dead. They're just discussing a next major update. We all thought IE was dead after version 6. Interestingly, the "IE is crap" meme still exists today, while the Pale Moon forum reads that leading browsers (IE and Chrome) and websites are the reason Pale Moon will have to give up on web standards and pick up the non-standard technologies for their browser engine. So basically, this thread is bananas.
>>
>>53510821

So the developer(s) have stepped back, will stop trying to support random-noisy-forum-posters-snowflake-legacy-addon.xpi and do something more generally beneficial.

Seems like a positive development. I'm a bit concerned they may play eternal catchup chasing the latest (also bleeding edge, hip and possibly ephemeral) features. Perhaps can take a lesson from Safari in that regard.

If you're stuck on old shit the Palemoon is the right place for you since its the most secure "old-compatible" available.

Video also kinda-sorta supports HTML, at least in Safari. But I would still recommend livestreamer anyway.

Kek'd hard at this.

Select "tabs on top" and stick every possible element you can into it, then hide all toolbars you can. Use an extension called Movable Firefox Button which has been removed from the addons site by now. Use custom userchrome.css to remove little things like those tab arrows and to keep a set minimal size for the tabs and url bar (which also expands when highlighted). I've also moved bookmarks into the status bar, which can be easily shown/hidden via ctrl+/.

What isn't shown in the picture (because I've momentarily fucked up userchrome for a sec there) is that all of the elements including the status bar actually hug the screen corners, so by moving the mouse to the edge they're more easily accessible and you can't overshoot any of them (you need to have a vertical taskbar though). All that needs to be done is #main-window[sizemode="maximized"] {margin-top: -4px ;}

>>53521483
>icons
Because icons give off much more information about the site than three extra letters of text would.
>arrows
Thought about removing them, but they're a fetish of mine I can't let go of. Sometimes I only hold the mouse and don't feel like reaching for altgr+arrow.
>>
>>53521515
Oh... I was talking about that chromium based browser which is said to have botnet removed, but thanks anyway.
>>
>>53521527
Oh yeah, and there's a top secret search bar in the hidden menu bar which you can show with Alt anyways and I only use it for changing the default search engine. Omnibar/Foobar gave me some issues with a couple sites in PM so I opted for this. There's probably a better solution, but meh, this works fine.
>>
>>53521527
Wow, too much work for me. I was just hoping for a PM extension or something.
>>
>>53521527
You don't have forward\backward buttons on your mouse? I couldn't live like that.

Also when I press alt i get the menu popping up with all the file, edit, view etc stuff in it, so I just stick those icons in there, and if I want to see them I just press alt.
>>
>>53521611
>You don't have forward\backward buttons on your mouse?
I'm on a touchpad.
>Also when I press alt i get the menu popping up with all the file, edit, view etc stuff in it, so I just stick those icons in there, and if I want to see them I just press alt.
I use these often enough that reaching for alt every single time wouldn't be any more practical. I suppose WOT could go, but it'd make a difference of like 20px, meh.
>>
>>53521651
>I'm on a touchpad.
Ouch.
>>
>>53521610
The userchrome strings aren't hard to acquire and adjust if you can get around with a little CSS. Plus it was a good learning experience. Too bad I can't find any other browser where my setup works 100%; I've nearly gotten there with Seamonkey, but I can't integrate the tab and url bars into one no matter what I do.

>>53521682
I'm used to it, I've got a really nice and comfy AHK setup with it. AltGr and appskey are my mouse buttons and I move on the pad with my thumb or ring finger. Ctrl+left/right for prev/next tab, Ctrl+up for new tab, Ctrl+down for close tab. Alt+up/down for home/end.

I would be happy with chromium if you could just do shit like turning the address bar black and shit.
>>
>>53521774
The issue with Chromium (the last time I've used it at least) is that you can't alter the default bar position at all. You can't get tabs to hug the screen top, which in my eyes is plain and simple a pure design fail.
>>
>>53521800
They do huge the top, but only in full screen.
>>
>>53521883
Fullscreen only and not plain maximized? Sounds halfassed.
>>
>>53521912
I meant that. If you have the browser maximized then they hug the top. If the browser is only taking up a fraction of your screen then they don't.
>>
>>53521800
I get triggered about how the tabs aren't square. Is there a solution?
>>
>>53521963
That solves part of the issue then, now how do you get the urlbar to hug the screen top?
>>53522021
Also this, the tab bezels are stupid.

>>53509701

You don't. At least not that I have found. I wish it would, but it is not a deal breaker for me. The lack of a true dark theme is my deal breaker.

I think the only part of it that still works is the right click menu function. That said, I'm too lazy to find some other thing that gives me that context menu, so I'll be sticking with 3.6 until 4chan dies.

That extension is old and busted. Use 4chanX instead:

Depending on the computer and your configuration being stuck with a touchpad isn't that bad.

Even jwz would throw up his hands at this point. Actually probably a lot earlier or. He didn't like C++ or code bloat.

Switch to dwb for a minimalist, graphical web browser written in C.

Features:
vi-like keybindings
easy customizable via a webinterface
bookmarks
tab-completion
cookie- and proxy-support (including a cookie-whitelist)
hintmode
add keywords for searchengines and searchfields
save sessions
tiling layouts
plugin-, script-, and adblocker (including a whitelist for plugins and scripts)
userscripts

Dependencies: only libwebkit and gtk2!

This could be viewed as an opportunistic move by Moon to steal the marooned extension developers.
