I prefer Opera.....NOT Opera Next....No, I prefer OLD Opera. The Opera built with the Presto rendering engine.

Why Opera Software gave that up, I will never know......

Pale Moon IS mozilla...it isn't "Firefox" but it is still mozilla. If you want to avoid mozilla because you don't like what they did, Pale Moon isn't an option.

I don't think boycotting Mozilla have any weight.
Actually it promote Firefox in the "good-bad" publicity stunt.

You're quite welcome. I only recently found out about it myself, in fact.

Pale Moon also runs all of the Firefox memory-saving plugins; I especially like "Memory Fox". I see roughly 50% maximum of the RAM footprint standard Firefox uses, with the same number of tabs (open to the same sites).

What you just described is known as a "politician". You are fooling yourself badly, if you believe otherwise.

That said, it wasn't Obama who was calling for Eich's ouster, you know. He simply has nothing to do with this event, either way.
