Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I've used this before with Windows XP. It's an unofficial version of Palemoon especially developed for Windows XP (The official Palemoon does not work on Windows XP anymore). Just checked and it's still going strong, maintained and updated and available for download. Current version is 29.2 and it's a 32mb download. Give that Windows XP some new life!!! https://www.mypal-browser.org/

Feodor the developer got banned from the PM forum if i recall in regard to a rattling of sabres with M.tobin who is a toxic developer of pale moon.

I have had really good success with Mypal on the VirtualBox Windows XP machines I run. I use XP and Win 7 on virtual machines hosted by Puppy Linux's or WeeDog/KLV types. Using them for the few things that require M$

It was WAY more than that! Feodor2 was actually sent a DMCA takedown request by GITHub...as far as the Palemoon forums go, that started a long time
ago when Palemoon dropped official support for WinXP, Tobin went ballistic on almost ANY 3rd party build/branch...Feodor2 has now turned the project
over to someone else, but hangs around for advice. Roytam1, who builds New Moon, was treated similarly. A lot of it started when users of MyPal and
New Moon strayed into the Palemoon forum looking for help. Those poor folks also got banned and flamed by Mat Tobin. There's been some rather
interesting developments at Palemoon the last couple of months though...Tobin got his "panties in a wad" when Moonchild (the ACTUAL developer of
Palemoon) decided to rollback changes to the extension eco-system, and reimplement allowing old Firefox extensions to install into Palemoon.
Too long a story to post here...if interested, head for the Palemoon forums and look for a topic "Change of direction for Palemoon"...Tobin has been
silent for a long while. I've cut back on my usage of Palemoon, partly because of the toxicity of Tobin, but mainly because more and more sites I use
no longer work in Palemoon because the site web developers are coding primarily for "gurgle chrome".

Yea i hear ya about tobin.I have been on the receiving end of one of his many rages a couple of times for asking innocent questions about the browser.

I have also read up on the exchanges between tobin and roytam and as usual it was hostile.

Then they wonder why nobody steps up to help them....

I have palemoon installed because it still allows me to use the flash plugin plus it does have good full themes etc which a lot of browsers don't have now.

They say palemoon is open source but they act in a closed source manner in regard to their licencing and trademarking.

Good on moonchild for keeping it going for so long and he does need help with certain aspects but he won't get help if he keeps tobin on board.
