Random tangent, but I tried PaleMoon to see if it used less RAM these days.
…And it seems they’ve forked pretty hard. All the rendering acceleration is years behind FF, and frankly it lagged on the test page (a web app text editor) I was interested in.
Being years behind Firefox is kinda the whole point of PaleMoon, the user interface is based on Firefox 4-28 and the rendering engine (Goanna) was forked from Gecko back in 2016 to remove all the new stuff Mozilla kept adding to it.
