    Some more informations:

    Q = They would probably announce the discontinuation of Pale Moon in favor of the new Basilisk browser that they're working on.

    Other browser features:

    - There are no language packs for Basilisk.
    - Ublock Origin would not be compatible but can be installed.
    - Canvas Defender are not compatible with Basilisk.
    But it is not necessary,use:

    Canvas.poisondata set to true

    - Noscript 5.x is OK.
    - No Resource URI Leak is OK.

    Never heard of this one. Decent enough for a backup browser?

    It won't play Amazon video unless you change the user agent to something like ff52 and then the player is the old style one. :mad:

    I can not say with certainty.
    - An exception can not be added when the event occurs above.
    - Incorrect interaction with some extensions.
    - ....................

    The developer has stated that is a work in progress and you use at your own risk so do not be surprised if a bug appears here and there.

    Correct.:thumb:
    But that single bug implies that other browser sectors must be corrected quickly.

    I have it on my system as a portable and it seems to run ok but it cannot handle heavy javascript sites very well.Facebook nearly brings it to a standstil.

    If you use a "Speed Dial" extensions at the moment only "Super Start Speed Dial" appears reliable.

    Have you installed uBlock Origin ver 1.15.24?
