Re: Palemoon in debian
The fewer vulnerabilities found is also related to the smaller number of people using/testing/targeting those text-based/javascript-less browsers (in addition to the number of actual security issues each one has).debiman wrote: and: 7 vulnerabilites in 15 years - i bet it looks very different for something like firefox:

Re: Palemoon in debian
how can my computer be open to attack through the browser without client-side scripting?
i don't think it can, but please tell me how if i'm wrong.
i understand that there's other forms of vulnerabilities - vulnerabilities to the data transmitted.
but vulnerabilites to the operating- and filesystem running the browser?
without the option to execute scripts transmitted from the originating site?

Re: Palemoon in debian
Why do you want to use Palemoon?
Is there anything you can do in Pale Moon that you cannot with Firefox?
If it is about speed, Frefox Quantum has made Firefox much faster than before.

Code: Select all
pmem
Private + Shared = RAM used Program
338.5 MiB + 4.6 MiB = 343.1 MiB palemoon
486.5 MiB + 89.6 MiB = 576.2 MiB firefox-esr (5)

Re: Palemoon in debian
Of all the browsers that I have tried, Palemoon is the most easily configured to the way I want it. Firefox and Chrome are impossibly rigid in some of their aspects. For example, try placing the address bar and menu components on top, bookmarks on the second line and tabs on the third; easily done on Palemoon, impossible on Firefox or Chrome.MagicPoulp wrote:Why do you want to use Palemoon?

Your "What?" suggested that the non-adding on of an adblocker is hardly believable. I guess your experience would support that. Alas, I have not been able to add any adblocker to firefox after following my nose through the steps: GetAddons>FindMoreAddons>AdBlockers>{click on any adblocker}. Then I choose one, and hit "Add to Firefox", but nothing happens and no adding-on is made. That's it. In the distant past I have been able to add an adblocker xpi file to firefox by downloading that file separately, and clicking on an option in firefox to do the adding-on of that xpi file, which worked then, but I can't see how to do that from the gui interface now. Current version: 60.3.0esr-1. I am certainly open to suggestions, but meanwhile Palemoon has been good for me.

Thanks for that one ... I shall look into seeing if it can do what I'd like it to.None1975 wrote:You can use NoScript.NorthEast wrote:firefox won't add on an ad blocker, but palemoon is fine with one.
