All forks are placebo, except pale moon which is just a really old version of firefox

>>60660518

>>60660641
"but /g/ told me firefox is bad"

Honestly idgaf about the new design, but them fucking with the addons/plugins is what bothers me.

>>60660518
waterfox is just a cv-enhancer project for a below average dev that just happened to know how to set compil for gcc nothing more.
Don't use that placebo shit.

>tried palemoon, felt like 2008 again

>palemoon is firefox: old build version
>waterfox is firefox: placebo version

Cyberfox is the one I currently use but it's going to be a ded version

>>60660614
That's not a bug, it's a feature.

just use chromium idiot

I just use Waterfox because there is a KDE patched binary in AUR, so I don't have to compile firefox-kde-opensuse.

>>60660614
it's great, isn't it

haha just use chrome lol

nothing to hide, laugh outloud

>>60660614
Definitely a nice feature. You can take it even further if you install LittleMoon.

>>60661193
Now seriously, jokes aside, Pale Moon being an older Firefox being worked and enhanced on isn't necessarily a bad thing.

>>60661111
fucking checked

>>60663220
As long as my current add-ons has older versions and said versions aren't missing anything big from newer updates (though they're probably just compatibility updates for newer versions of firefox). I'm going to miss how customizable Cyberfox is though.

What's so good about Cyberfox?

I love Palemoon because I really hate the direction FF has been going so an older FF is fantastic, but the problem is it has its flaws. I still have to use a more modern browser sometimes. The compatibility with FF addons is also weird.

The dev's also planning to support the old extensions longer than Firefox will.

>>60660518
aurora ftw

Do people really use weird offbranch knockoffs of shit like pale moon, waterfox, and chromium for important stuff like bankng and shit with your social security number?
I imagine it would be fine for browsing on a machine that security really doesnt matter on.. but for important stuff, how much do you really trust neckbeards to not snap and steal all of your shit on a whim or in an autistic fit of rage for not getting enough donations?

>>60666915
No

>>60669716
>how much do you really trust neckbeards to not snap and steal all of your shit on a whim or in an autistic fit of rage for not getting enough donations?
about 1750% more than i trust 201X mozilla

>>60660614
Wtf I'm installing pale moon now

>>60661193
>cyberfox
seems interesting.
>it's going to be a ded version
care to explain why?

>>60669753
got a good chuckle out of that

I think as an actual company, places are a bit above that kind of stuff than some small group maintaining a branch of an old version.
Yea shit like brazers will fuck you over but as shit as mozilla is I really dont see your info getting stolen by them.
If anything theyd have vulnerabilities, but thats a whole different conversation than a rouge dev actually putting malware into an update

Wrong. Palemoon was internally rebranded as NOT Firefox, thus breaking extensions. So in reality Palemoon is random fag's broken browser based on old Firefox. Its only reason for existence is hate towards Firefox, so brainless haters just gather under this bite and suffer all broken shit out of spiteful rebellious spirit.

>>60669716
Palemoon is an old fork that has completely gotten rid of the mozilla name
Waterfox disables some things
Chromium is chrome builds from google idiot it's not another brand

That's sad. Holy shit. I liked the premise behind it. Do you know of any other forks of it that are similar?

>>60669995
You can still use it, really. It will be updated until the end of 2018 because 52 ESR.

>>60670095
Don't really wanna switch to something that's Windows only. Don't use Windows. I prefer muh freedoms.

Palemoon was forked a while ago and is still based on GTK2 but it's still a modern browser, constantly updated, more customizable than firefox, and gives more privacy. GTK2 looks a little more out dated but every aspect of the UI can be easily customized.
