from the replacement-for-my-firefox dept.

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.

Release notes here.

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.]

    who decided it was a good idea to butcher the UI: over and over again?

    UI/UX is an evolutionary process and we should expect some change. That being said, fans of the old UI should notice that there is now included a "Compact" light and dark theme which are similar to the old UI. Nothing about Windows 10 looks like Windows XP so it's not like Firefox has any responsibility to be more consistent than the platforms it runs on--and some ideas were just bad, replaced with better ones.

    There's no point running Pale Moon than irrational insistence that nothing changes.
