plague-of-grackles 😷🍉🐈‍⬛<p>I did a quick fly-by of non-FAANG, non-Mozilla browsers, as I fear for the future of Mozilla (and Servo). The only one with decent rendering was <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/PaleMoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaleMoon</span></a>. Dillo and NetSurf didn’t quite cut it. </p><p>I don’t know what we’re gonna do if Firefox and Servo go sideways.</p>
plague-of-grackles 😷🍉🐈‍⬛<p>Planning for the future, I downloaded the <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Palemoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palemoon</span></a> browser. Posting from it! So far, so good. They forked off of Firefox some time ago; I don't know if they'd be able to survive its collapse (if you know, plz comment :boost_ok:). But yeah a good experience so far, a good backup plan for <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Librewolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Librewolf</span></a>.</p>
Pale Moon web browser<a class="hashtag" href="https://outerheaven.club/tag/palemoon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PaleMoon</a> 33.7.0 has been released! This is a development, bugfix and security release. Notable changes in this update are the added support for CSS two-location color stop logic, the updating of the vendored JPEG XL library (which fixes some images not loading), and FFmpeg code for VP8/VP9 playback updated back to the 6.x series.<br><br><a href="https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml#v33.7.0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml#v33.7.0</a>
