Pale Moon Browser 28.10 Release

Submitted by web browser release Pale Moon 28.10, which forked from the Firefox codebase to provide greater performance, retain the classic interface, minimize memory consumption, and provide more customization options. Pale Moon builds are formed for Windows ΠΈ Linux (x86 and x86_64). Project Code spreads licensed under MPLv2 (Mozilla Public License).

The project adheres to the classic organization of the interface, without switching to the Australis interface integrated in Firefox 29, and with the provision of extensive customization options. Removed components include DRM, Social API, WebRTC, PDF viewer, Crash Reporter, statistics collection code, parental controls, and people with disabilities. Compared to Firefox, the browser retains support for XUL technology and retains the ability to use both full-fledged and lightweight themes. Pale Moon is built on a platform UXP (Unified XUL Platform), which forked Firefox components from the Mozilla Central repository, freed from bindings to Rust code and not including the developments of the Quantum project.

Π’ new version:

  • Method implemented URLSearchParams.sort();
  • The globalThis keyword has been implemented to access global objects regardless of the current context (allows you to get rid of the mess of window, self, global and this, used depending on where the script is running, on the page, in the worker or in Node.js) ;
  • Improved parsers for the WebM video encoding format and MP3 audio format, which are adapted to different encoding styles found in very small files and streaming;
  • Improved table rendering performance;
  • Closer to the behavior of Chrome, the method of processing images specified without the SRC parameter in the IMG tag.
  • Added support for modern MIPS processors;
  • Additional cleaning of the telemetry-related code has been carried out;
