A "core dev" left

EDIT: apologies for the off-topic post. I couldn't contain my glee.

Although i see no real change between firefox-esr. It's still in the repo so I use it instead.

That's because the current iceweasel is a transitional package which loads the firefox-esr deb as a 'required dependency'.

Or in other words: Iceweasel *is* Firefox-ESR

Sigh.   See e.g. https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/pack … -1~deb10u1

Huh, I thought most debian AND devuan  users knew this

Meh, w/e lol.

Seems palemoon finally got back on track...

Someone who was a part of the team was forced out of it due to them going bonkers...

A "core dev" left...

This had happened a few months prior, but I never saw reason to mention about this here...

As good as badwolf is, it still needs ublock origin like functionality or better.

And something even more effective then both versions of noscript combined, before I could use it again.

Then I will probably do so again...

Especially if bookmarks are added.

Till then, I will do what I think works best.

Hi.
Is Pale Moon in Devuan repositories?

No, but there are some third-party repositories you can try, such as this one. Just match the codename to your current distro. You can also just download the official binaries from Pale Moon (they come with builtin update managers, so no need to worry about being behind a version).

Thanks for the tips, I will download the package binaries and install.

FYI. Palemoon versions after 28 no longer allows installing legacy Firefox extensions like Errorzilla without major headaches/tweaking. SeaMonkey has a confirmed major bug that prevents typing text into Facebook when trying to create a new message. A person can type messages into a clipboard or notepad then copy and paste - but a person cannot type directly into Facebook. Also some websites like YouTube do not display properly - Google Earth will not display at all!!  And Vivaldi does not like some Chrome extensions - for example themes!  I tried all 3 for months and ended up with Chromium.

I found the same problem with Palemoon and facebook.

Really frustrating.

There is one more browser, I use, that has not been mentioned in this thread, flashpeak-slimjet (slimjet) that is also not in the repo, but has both source and .deb packages. You may find it here... https://www.slimjet.com/en/dlpage.php

Another browser I use is "webbrowser" , from GIT. I had to build and compile it myself, using .mozconfig to configure the sources, but it works really well.

Hope this helps

It would be nice if distros could ship Firefox with default settings like that, but that's probably deliberately made difficult.

Welcome to the forum!

No it isn't.  You can search for available packages HERE.

Thanks for the welcome.
I will read the link, thank you.

My experience with qute and surf wasn't great, but then again I didn't compile them like you are. I think if I would try them again I would spin up an Arch distro in a vm and see if the AUR had a template for building the latest git version of the browser and the latest git version of the underlying WebKit engine.  If I was satisfied with the results then I would manually compile them on Devuan, tinkering with their configs to suit my tastes. That's a lot of extra time though for something that ultimately probably won't satisfy my needs.
