If it's still not working it's possible that they are testing for some JS feature support and not the agent string.
]]>I'll try it out and see how it goes.
Unfortunately, adding the string had no effect whatsoever.
Any other idea?
Maybe different sting?
Thanks in advance.

]]>Fringe browser labels Devuan ...
It is the chaps at Pi-Hole that consider Devuan a fringe OS.
The Discourse chaps have PaleMoon as unsupported.
... you can probably cheat by just changing your user-agent...
... add a string in about:config, eg :
preference name : general.useragent.override.discourse.pi-hole.net
value : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Thanks to both for the input. 8^)

]]>and that would usually override discourse crap. used it a couple of times, i had to use discourse. you can try to see if it works with palemoon, and then add new strings for other discourse fora too.
]]>Pot, meet kettle
If the site in question isn't running some pile of "browser check" javascript trash, you can probably cheat by just changing your user-agent...
Then again Palemoon is kinda garbage anyway, as is the general attitude of the developers.
I use PaleMoon and today I found that yet another (the first one was the Pi-Hole forum) that will not accept it as it is considered an unsupported browser.
Knowing about their stance on Devuan (labelled by one of their mods as a fringe OS) I first thought it was just <i>their</i> thing.
But no.
The OpenWRT forum also considers PaleMoon an unsupported browser.
A link on their web site takes you to https://www.discourse.org/about#browser.
What are the minimum browser requirements?
Discourse is designed for the next 10 years of the Internet, so the minimum browser requirements are high.
Discourse supports the latest, stable releases of all major browsers and platforms:Microsoft Edge
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Apple SafariAdditionally, we aim to support Safari on iOS 12.5+ until January 2023 (Discourse 3.0).
What a load of BS.
If anything, using one of the listed browsers is a real pain the the ass.
Is there anything that can be done to cheat Discourse's check?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
A.
