There's Palemoon which had been going since 2009 where they had been trying to maintain and adapt what looks to me like some build from Firefox 21 with some compatibility with the extensions from that time or ones they rebuilt but it seems slow at certain things which is a shame. https://www.palemoon.org --- Quote ---Welcome to Pale Moon – Your Browser, Your Way™ --- End quote --- at the expense of performance. It's great for Eevblog with no lagging or stalling so I use that here and just about manages Imgur with the Headerhiderfixerhider script via Greasemonkey. |

I use quite a lot of extensions with Firefox: from the absolutely mandatory NoScript and uBlock Origin to UI tweakers (such as the one that brings back the "View Image" context menu entry and others that undo certain idiotic decisions of the FF's UI designers) and specific website tweakers such as a search results blacklist for Google and a debullshittifier extension for Twitter. And more things like the "undisable right click" or "improve contrast" (which fixes the awesome "grey text on grey background" pages) addons and so on and so forth. As good as an alternative browser might be, it would be useless to me without support for all, or most, of these extensions. Nowadays being a good web browser alone is not enough. Many extensions are required for any browser to at least partially remediate the enshittification that happened to the WWW during the last 15 years or so. |

This is enough. :) |
