Cons:
>no dropdown list of tabs like most browsers have; only a visual representation of them
>doesn't reload all tabs on startup, only when visited individually
>have to go through three menus to see Recently Closed Tabs instead of the usual two

On Pale Moon, hovering over a link doesn't tell me the URL. I don't like that at all, and it's something iirc every other browser I've used does.

It's the least bad browser at present. Ideally, somebody'd unglue Gecko from XUL like back in the Gecko Runtime Environment days, so we'd get something like Galeon/Epiphany/K-Meleon/Chimera/Camino again.
>>1404Given the massive flaming the main dev gave it, unlikely:
http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6660>>1413Embedding libraries such as CODECs inside software such as web browsers is retarded, it's like 8-bit word processors that all had their own embedded print drivers. Just install an OS-level filterpack, or install the VLC plugin, if everybody just did this, the entire h.264/VP8 stupidity never would've happened.
>>1443e10s is Electrolysis, which aims to turn Firefox into something like Chrome, where each window/tab is a separate process. Safe Browsing Cache is a malware blacklist service provided by Google, the problem with it is its use requires your browser to tell Google which page you're browsing every time you ask for one.

Itt, normalfags who don't can't spend 30 seconds in the configuration menu, didn't read the description given by the devs, and somehow find having a hundred extensions to be appealing...
Since the death of opera it's the only browser I like to use, it's almost as tweak-able, get user-scrips done, is thin.

Every once in a while it completely locks up and I have to kill it, but that's more of a problem with my laptop. I really like it. It seems YouTube videos don't play over 360 quality unless I play them through mpv. It seems to be a problem with not having flash. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Use the HTML5 player. You'll want to install gstreamer1 and some of its plugins to be able to decode x264.
Don't install Flash. It's full of security holes and barely even supported for GNU+Linux.

Performance is absolute garbage. I have to keep Chrome up in the background to run video because it's completely unwatchable through palemoon. Video and gifs display like a slideshow.
I keep dozens of tabs up at a time though. It can perform decently enough to at least be useable when you stick to single tab browsing, but fuck that Internet Explorer-age shit.
In fact I just came to /g/ specifically to shit talk this browser, as I'm about to move on to something else. Problem is, Chrome is the only browser with decent performance that I've encountered since the days of Firefox memleaks, circa 2007 or 2008 or whenever Chrome was released (these memleaks, by the way, seem also STILL to persist in Palemoon almost 10 years after I gave up Firefox).

"Useable" because shit devs keep using/adding unnecessary "features" on websites by using pointless scripts for the sake of modernity because it's current_year() and making their pages completely broken without them.

Bad Support for HTML5, CSS3, ES6 and ES7 features.
If you want a customizable browser with future, Otter browser once they use QTWebengine or Vivaldi Browser are the go to's in the future.
Everything non Webkit based will anyway disappear, as Webkit is the future of the web. Period!
