    Ah, that. Thanks.

    After you butcher your extensions ecosystem, I guess it makes sense to mix what's left with themes. Because... why not?

        I've been using Pale Moon for 95% of my browsing the last couple of years. Of course I'm not addicted to Netflix and I don't live my life in the google cloud, so it's easy for me to just browse random web pages like Phoronix. I use Librewolf for the 5% of stuff Pale Moon can't render, although off the top of my head I can't recall a site I've had trouble with recently [Edit - Tutanota - can't currently read Tutanota webmail with Pale Moon]. Pale Moon is continuously improving, and we have extensions like Palefill to smooth out the rough edges with sites like github.

        Pale Moon still has an active community of add-on developers, and quite a few of the add-ons have superior functionality to the webextensions versions, which makes sense, since XUL was always more powerful than writing a webextension. For example, eMatrix seems superior to noscript for fine-tuned script blocking.

          I never used the various downloader addons, but I've noticed that Pale Moon does still have modern versions of them. Might be worth having Pale Moon on your system just to do downloading or various functions like that.

            - The CSS "content-visibility" property now supports the value "auto" that will allow content to skip rendering if it is not relevant to the user.
            If I understand this correctly, this should translate into a significant performance gain for ublock.

              Yeah!!!

              THAT WILL BE GREAT!!!

              Imagine all of us surfing (un)happily on the shitty-web full with all those adds provided by Google & Cia...

              Ain't that gone be cool?!?!?!?!?!

              (that will probably be the day that i will either go back to my cave or that i start using the Links browser)

              edit: sad thing is that's most surely going to happen because no one knows better how to follow google like Firefox devs - that's why they have shrunk their user base so much!!!

                And Falkon and Konqueror have already laid some groundwork to support Chrome addons. So yeah, GNOME Web and other smaller browsers are catching up, kpedersen

                  Do they support something like ublock nowadays?
                  Last time I checked the TL;DR was that it's not possible with qtwebengine currently.

                    As you probably know, Falkon has built-in adblocking, so supporting uBlock is probably not a big priority. uBlock makes a legacy XUL extension that works perfectly on Pale Moon and SeaMonkey.
