Except they don’t “maintain the entire browser,” rather, they “maintain” a trimmed-down build.

- Shared404 6y agoThanks for the clarification, that makes more sense. I'll download it and give it a shot.
- duskwuff 6y agoI'm not sure what distinction you're trying to draw here. The fact that Moonchild has removed some a few features they don't like from Palemoon doesn't make the remaining codebase meaningfully easier to maintain. They're still left with what is effectively an orphaned codebase, increasingly unable to use patches from mainline Firefox, and subject to unknown vulnerabilities in portions of the codebase which no longer exist upstream.
- superkuh 6y agoMaybe we're touching the same elephant but we're obviously on opposite ends of it. That's how I perceive Firefox security with all it's crazy new features, old experiments left in, black box DRM that's literally unauditable, etc.
