The Palemoon forum is just full of hatred towards the Firefox project. People there just spew hatred and snide remarks. They belittle the very Gecko engine they have forked from

Originally posted by KellyClowers View PostAnyway, back to this announcement, what exactly is this? "UXP" sounds a bit like the old XULRunner initiative... but how is Basilisk any different from PaleMoon? It almost sounds like it is just the equivalent of FF's beta or nightly channel....
Basilisk, as I understand it, is a test of whether they can make an application run on their new platform base. It will use development versions of some of the infurstructure they've developed for PM, but won't use Goanna. If it works, then they will port the Pale Moon an Goanna to their new UXP platform, and then that will be the new Pale Moon.

I would be very pissed off if NoScript wasn't ported over, for example. (currently is still work-in-progress).
There are also loons and tinfoil hatters too, that see things that are only in their mind too.

XUL and XPCOM could be made multithread/multiprocess, just as the core can be. Might take breaking API changes, but it had those anyway. It would be a lot of work, but it is still the most correct answer (the other somewhat less correct answer would be get rid of XUL, but not until you have a full replacement ready, not just WE)
At that point, you might as well start with a clean slate anyway if only to have the engine make sense again.
Also, people who think FF/gecko are slow are insane.

They changed the GUI too much, namely the settings and new tab page.
Why allow either 5 sites or 10 sites on new tab? Why can't I choose 4 or 20 or 28? the former behaviour wasn't perfect (delete a square by accident, can't get it back) but could show more if you needed it.
"restore session" GUI hasn't changed, still braindead (show a very long list, five lines at a time)

Quantum is a big spittting in the face of Power users and geeks and nerds who love to fully personalize their browsing experience.
Compared to Quantum even a closed source project like Vivaldi offers more honesty and respect towards their users as Mozilla is offering them today. Mozilla is also spitting into the face of add-on developers and theme developers and their own old long gone Mozilla developers who have been thinking that empowering the user with functions and features is more of use than to restrict them and call that then "freedom" and "more feature rich" - which is a blatant lie!
I personally have switched to Otter-Browser. As the developer of that browser shows also more respect to geeks and nerds today than Mozilla.
Mozilla are sell-outs. The worst!

I rather would use something like Vivaldi where the developers have more respect of their user base of geeks and nerds - or something like Otter-Browser - which i am actually using today.
Quantum is just a bowing down to the most lowest common denominator - and Mozilla who believed in quality instead of quantity has dumped their previous mindset and sacrificed all to be like Chrome.
No thanks, i have no respect for sell-outs!
