Any thoughts on the Pale Moon web browser?
I was looking around on Honda's web site and they complained about my web browser
being out of date. On that VM, its Firefox 84. I clicked on "learn more"
hoping that Honda would tell me exactly why they wanted me to upgrade. It's not a
bank, after all, and they offered me browser options.
Admittedly, I live under a rock. But, I had never heard of Pale Moon. I went to their
home page and am going to give it a try.
I resist browser upgardes because they often change the layout, for no apparent reason.
And, the new "features" are often things I don't like. Such as storing a
bunch on info on my browser so they don't have to (which I suspect may be Honda's
motive). So, if I was going to have to deal with I new layout anyhow, I decided to go for
broke and try something actually new.
Security? Its a Honda site. Unless they want me to protect against malware from them, I
don't get it.

OK, I've seen enough. In palemoon the "learn more" button on Wolkswagens
web site doesn't work. It doesn't seem to be recognized. Works fine in old
Firefox.

I went to the Volkswagen site and my Firefox 84 had some problems. So, I installed
Firefox 106. The widgets/trim are ugly, but it didn't have any issues on the
Volkswagen site. Interestingly to me, the page layout was completely different. Not sure
what has come online recently as far as what browsers have to support, but there is
definitely something substantial that is new.

Gary,
You buying a Volkswagen? I use Debian which uses the Firefox ESR
release.
