Yes, I have seen your frothing Reddit posts, you don't have to repeat them here. "Leftist fascist"--can I give you a bit of free advice? If you have to modify "fascist", everyone and their dog knows it's because you have to modify your slur to make the mirror a little more palatable. Maybe find some new ones. But I reject the square-peg premise you're trying to jam into that round hole anyway, as it's not a democracy, either. Your choices impact your neighbors without their consent. It's not about fucking over power users or whatever the weird little epistemic enclosure you come from wants to insist it is, it's about addressing technical debt both in terms of performance and security--and the latter matters quite a lot in terms of not enabling people who think they're power users to 1) blow their own leg off, and 2) blow the legs off the people next to them. That's why those "leftist fascist" evil scary Firefox people decided "hey, let's patch some of these up." Customization, in and of itself, is fine (modulo the combinatoric explosion that leads to security holes). Few enough people would disagree with that, though I understand that the aforementioned epistemic closure holds as axiomatic that everybody just hates the tweaker types. On the other hand, customization at the expense of competent security development, which is what you get with Pale Moon, is not. And seeing as how there certainly doesn't seem to be much in the way of developer competence, to the point where "don't use the stuff that upstream has working just fine because we can't figure it out" is a legitimate attempt at "discussion", it ought to be dumpstered. Somehow, this "power user" (god, I hate that term) gets by just fine with poor, benighted Firefox--having switched to it from Chrome/Safari after Quantum because it finally felt as pleasant to use as back in The Day. Clearly, though, that just makes me a radical-left SJW hater or something. But that's fine. Modern Firefox is heckin' great.

Most power users have left Firefox. Once 23% market share, these days 7.xx market share. All because Mozilla got greedy and removed features from Firefox to appeal to Chrome users as Mozillas dream-goal is to become number one market share wise. Nonetheless - leftist feature and customization haters are mindless Nazi, and i despise Nazi of no matter for which color they may have and under which political side they may hide. And no, Mozilla is only caring for market share, money, Chrome users. That is the only reason they even tried to find alternative ways to bring customization back these days. That you can have a multi-process engine AND features shows Vivaldi - with their App UI on top of Chromium. Which basically Australis with CTR delivered too in some kind of ways. But to please disgusting leftist anti-feature pro-simplicity Nazis which are using Chrome (as Mozilla wanted their users so badly all at once) - something like that is NOT/no-longer available in Firefox.

  Users sure as hell didn't leave for BlueMoon or the other also-rans. (And nobody is falling for your "leftist Nazi" shtick. It's quite telling that you can't even come up with terms for your imaginary opponents and have to fall back on misusing "fascist", "nazi", and "dictator", isn't it? Here, in the interest of the English language, are some actual left-wing baddies you can use: Bolsheviki, Stalinist, Stasi, Politburo, Khmer Rouge, ETA (potential for puns here), (Popular|Democratic|Worker's) (Front|Army|Committee|Union) for (Liberation|Democracy|A Better Future|Legalisation)

    Honestly... it is always pathetic how people say leftists are called that, right-wingers are called that... The only right term to call out people of EVERY fascist opinion is - Nazi - as that is what fascists/racists are - no matter of left or right. And compared to Mozilla's community of disgusting radicals - Every other browser developer has a rather civilized and sophisticated usergroup. And as can be seen here or Reddit... Mozilla has the most fanatical Nazis. I rather would use something like Vivaldi or Brave before i would touch Mozilla, as that would make me a followers or worse - an accomplice!

Looks like the sock puppets have arrived, quoting myself from that thread: https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/375#issuecomment-454704963 https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/375... > There also seems to be a small group of devout followers who travel from the Palemoon forums to other parts of reddit, HN and github to spruik the project and derail criticism. I've observed (without naming names) it's the same names doing it over and over again. They always use the same phrases too "nazi" and "fake news", "false narrative" etc. They tend to refer to themselves as "power users" with a clear tone of superiority to their comments. I guess it must be the deep state! (sarcasm).
