I was running Palemoon for a while. Not a bad browser at all.
I dropped it when it lost compatibility with some of my favorite add ons.
Switched over to Waterfox, which is also not a bad browser. It's the closest to old Firefox that I can find.
Still not fully compatible with my fav add ons, but better than Palemoon was at the time.
What can I say? I need the add ons - they seriously improve browsing, browser speed, and especially browser security. 99% of the shit that comes into your computer to fuck things up these days does so via some website. Browser security is more important than anti-virus software IMHO.
I hear Firefox has gone to hell. It's been a few years since I last used it, but if it has I'm not surprised.
I'm in the same boat. Switched to Palemoon way back when the Aurora UI overhaul raped Firefox, and the latter's political leanings didn't help. Been using Waterfox for several years for the same reason as you.
Note that in many cases, you can disable the checks on addons and force an install for Palemoon. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
