Firefox 60.0.2. Unironically. Just tinker with about:config and build with eme-free USE flag, also enable hardened and disable a bunch of other shit like Rust.

>>927273

Can you actually avoid Rust?

I'm pretty sure it's required for the compilation.

>What's a better web browser that supports CSS and toggleable JS, etc?

It doesn't exist yet. You can help by making it though. The palememe devs have to do retarded shit to keep the shekels from jewgle advertising coming in.

>and blocking plugins

Such as? Are you talking about ad-naeseum? That again is because jewgle advertising shekels are cut off if they didn't do so. If you want a webbrowser that says fuck you to (((modern web services))) then forking palemoon and adjusting it to have better defaults such as

>adblocker, secret agent, image blocking toggle, and javascript toggle button included by default

>SSL acceptance set to strictest levels i.e no mixed content and disabling of weaker/backdoored ciphers such as ECHD-*-*

>automatic disabling of automatic updates for plugins

>homepage set to about:home

>different icon theme for legal/lawful purposes

>changing default search engine to a searx instance

>deleting the special identifier in the default duckduckgo.xml advertising palemoon/goanna engine

>forking before the switch to the newer version of XUL/firefucks code base

But that's alot of work to maintain as you would be getting a firefox 29 ish codebase with bug fixes and improvements galore assuming you forked before they rebased the entire thing on firefox 52 ish.

>>927273

Firefox is slower then palememe and has more backdoors in the CSS engine by reason of (((soros))) (((helping))) the mozzila foundation. Along with the usual bugs in the javascript interpreter which palemoon is switching to use the newer version of from around firefox 52. Use the palemoon stuff before they switch if you want to avoid all that shit.

>more backdoors in the CSS engine by reason of (((soros))) (((helping))) the mozzila foundation.

Proofs?

>>927273

Firefux has been unbearable since 2006 (+- 4 years). I'm not really gonna elaborate more than it takes 20 seconds to start and it's full of retarded shit that calls out to other websites when you first start it up, and requires 5 restarts a day to install updates for "security" (lol 2.5 known vulns per day, nothx) and (((UX))), which means, instant delete.

>>927278

Yeah I tried a bunch of these other browsers like Qupzilla and they were all shit. "web engines" are all shit in the first place. Icecateweaseslwhatever would probably be the best but it seems they just happily fork in all the (((modern))) bullshit from Firefux.

>>927284

>>Firefux has been unbearable since 2006 (+- 4 years).

>span of 8 years

>initial release was 2002

I'll help you. It was in 2009 when they started working on version 4. Coincidentally just after Obama got elected, Anonymous became mainstream and halfchan went shit.

>requires 5 restarts a day to install updates for "security"

Stop using Windows.

>>927282

Search their bugzilla, there's plenty of CSS bugs that haven't been fixed for years. Or just lurk moar if you are a fag.

>>927284

Yea, palemoon's newer version that has yet to come out will rebase around firefox 52's internals which is shit. Someone needs to fork the 27.9.* series that is still based on the early versions of firefox before the backdooring and bugs galore shit.

>>927291

>Search their bugzilla, there's plenty of CSS bugs that haven't been fixed for years.

Where's the connection between those bugs and soros?

>Or just lurk moar if you are a fag.

Gotta leave some time for sleeping tbh.

What's wrong with qutebrowser? I'm serious. I just use it because it's nice to use. Can it be told to disable javascript.

>>927297

No content blocker like uMatrix. No extension ecosystem.

>>927298

I see. There's also Falkon. I think these are the two only that are worth it. If I wasn't a web developer (I'm sorry) I would use qutebrowser full time.

You can use hosts blocking for getting rids of ads as well.

I use waterfox it's Firefox without the bullshit

>look mom i'm so smart, i can do all the work tor devs do by tinkering with my meme browser configs and turning off js ha-ha

>it's not placebo r-right, oh fuck god damn you cuclflare don't you see my obviously plausible "Temple OS IE6 Gecko/1488" user agent and abundance of css4 styling

>oh shit officer please don't kick me in the liver i didn't know about css fingerprints and how turning off javascript can acttually make me more fingerprintable while using Tor swear on me mum it's just my anime collection over there on an encrypted drive

>>927344

oh okay, better restrict my web activity to facebook with a clearnet connection on google chrome with default settings with a gmail account and google search then

palemoon devs are windows niggers in sheep's clothing:

https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86

stay away from palemoon. it's a dumpster fire

>>927305

You mean because of qutebrowser's cumbersome developer tools? That's hopefully going to improve soon since Qt 5.11 makes it possible to have a proper integration.

>>927323

yeah sure

>firefox is soros owned

No, it isn't. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>927572

Holy fuck the OP in there is insufferable. Also I'll never understand how someone can write public code and care how others use it. This makes me want to go back to Links. Where the project is only 50KLOC and they can't go around pretending they have a serious product that took 20 years of quality engineering to build.

Brave missles all the way

>>927344

>obviously plausible "Temple OS IE6 Gecko/1488" user agent

Holy shit I have to use that.

>>927344

thats not how it works

if your code does anything with the user agent its broken

the user agent was always a fashion feature in the first place

for example palememe puts "palemoon" in the user agent to advertise their product

git back to /pol/

Why not just use the Tor bundle?

>>927970

I love Krita, LibbieOffice, and GNU, but Palemoon seems silly when Icecat exists.

>>927284

2008 to be excact. They hid the cookies and the javascript checkbox. depends on which version you were using and dev edition probably rolled out that stuff first.

they forced the analytics and js cancer we have now then chrome took all the userbase because the UI looked better.

fastforward to botnet age

>dumb nigger gets triggered at poorly configured ssl cetificate

You are the dumb nigger if you don't understand why this is a bad thing. Fucking CIA Niggers.

iirc, some """Nonprofit Organization""" that has received funding from Soros has some ties to Mozilla (did they donate money to Mozilla or something??)

>>929835

This.

IceCat (and even FireFox and Brave) is better than PaleMoon. PaleMoon is made by bunch of incompetent guys, and if the main dev doesn't like some extension, then he tries to block its use. This is simply a misfeature. If the extension runs just fine and it isn't a piece of malware, there isn't any reason to SHUT IT DOWN.

>>929900

Adnauseam IS malware and a shekel-making scheme made by kikes for kikes. Noscript is debatable

>>929873

it was shit long before they got rid of the ability to remove JS from the GUI. also that was past 2008. i never used dev edition, or ESR, or any of these meme words. i just compiled from gentoo. if i had a choice, i'd have the same version forever with only bug fixes.

>>929835

>>929900

last time I checked icecat had all the bloat from current firecocks. what i really want is Links but has enough AIDS APIs to display a bigger amount of websites, without needing a bugfix every 5 minutes. i dont want it to pretend to have security and fix non-concerns like CSRF,clickjacking,XSS,"cert pinning",cross whatever policy etc. if you're banking over the web you should just shoot yourself instead

>Crashing a market = terrorism

That's a little bit of an extreme claim. I think refusal to accept something on the free market is completely just.

Nice photo, is that you?

>Are furries retarded?

Duuuh

>>927273

Or you can use the official EME-free binary from Mozilla. Or you could simply disable EME from the Settings menu, like any non-faggot does.

>hardened

>disable Rust

Wew lad.

>>927263 (OP)

Palemoon is shit.

It's shit because the rampant furfaggotry.

All I wish for is a fork that strips the furfaggotry.

Just call it: Dumpster Fire browser.
