Quoting Steve Litt (sl...@troubleshooters.com): > Arctic fox is a fork of PaleMoon. This is a good thing, because I and a > whole bunch of people dropped PaleMoon when PaleMoon's "executives" > issued lawyer threats to the OpenBSD project. I'll say just one more time, because you tend to ignore this point, that the Pale Moon branding policy -- conceding for the sake of discussion that it's unfriendly, unreasonable, and thuggishly executed in the OpenBSD bug report -- in no way prevents any Linux or BSD distro from having and freely distributing a completely satisfactory binary package of that browser with no problems (let alone threats) from upstream and enjoying _all_ open source rights without exception. Why? Beecause the policy has no application to unbranded code instances. So, one merely swaps out the 'trade dress' image files and substitutes a similar but distinct name, and compiles. Done. Share and enjoy. My point is that there's nothing about the concept of open source that requires stakeholders to surrender trademark rights. If they want to be jerks about that, open source provides an easy remedy in the form of de-branding. There's nothing wrong with disliking Pale Moon's branding policy, but it should not be misrepresented (as you have done in the past) as making Pale Moon proprietary or that policy being even a significant obstacle. Neither is true. Of course, in fairness, someone would have to bother to do that minor de-branding work. If it's easier to just more sideways, and that's your point, then that's fair, but ought IMO to be made explicit. (It may be that Arctic Fox is only a 'fork' of Pale Moon to exactly that trivial degree, in fact: I'm not familiar with it.) > However, it looks like Arcticfox isn't available for just plain amd64 > Linux.

You can upgrade to Beowulf, 2. The last resource would be to compile from Sources the glibc in ascii.. The unique critique, that I may find, for 'Waterfox', Is that they don't have a i686 release :( -- Best Regards, tuxd3v ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Huh ??? Tar is installed by default in the core system of devuan (first and second stages of debootstrap. In any case, i started working on my own minimalist browser. It's not a joke: http://www.gnuinos.org/screenshots/Screenshot_2020-04-11_18-14-41.png At least, i only need a few features like management for my bookmarks and ability to have several websites opened at the same time in different tabs. And no much more... The less addons, the more minimalism. But i wonder if libwebkitgtk-1.0 (compatible with Gtk2) will survive the passing of time and dbus.
