After a few months of development, the Pale Moon browser has released its latest iteration. Along with security features, the key release for this version seems to be centered around expanding the browser's media support.
Offtopic, but somehow relevant: they also published the results of their survey in March. The feedback says a lot about the browser's user base, and highlights the direction the team will take in the future.
[What browser(s) do you use? Do you use a separate browser for certain sites? Same browser for everything you access online? What browser differences lead you to use one browser over another? -Ed.]

My main problem is that they have a windows-centric view of things like cut and paste. It's not good enough to use windows cut and paste they want to remove unix cut and paste and in the process bolox it all up. Apparently they have a goal of unifying behavior across platforms so it works 'as expected' ie as it does on windows. What is more their license means that you are expected to ship their settings even if your platform would do things differently. All in all it doesn't operate as a native linux application and too much local changes need to be do each time I install.
They also break the 'no spaces in directory names' and 'no spaces in filesnames' rules because "it's so 1990's" despite no other programs on my linux boxen doing it.
They think they're modern but they need to meet the cluestick when it comes to linux. But I thought that about the freedestop/systemd crew as well, maybe they'll get on?
