That's another web browser I cannot recommend. The persons behind it are rather
hostile and not friendly at all.
Just look how they treated the FreeBSD guys[1]. Spoiler: Palemoon is no longer
available in FreeBSD and will never be. This is the case for 99% of all others
as well[2].
The reason that no one's including the web browser in their repos is not only
because of how they treat everyone, it's because of their proprietary bulls**t
license[3] that no one wants to poke at, not even with a stick.
If you look up Palemoon on the web you will find a lot more drama surrounding
them.

So what? There are flame wars all over the web. it is a good secure
browser that does what I need and is better than Waterfox.
So what are your credentials for making the statements you do? I have
no credentials at all am and just a luser, but I know what works.
As an aside the local Linux users group which includes a number of
sysops for major NZ business have switched to Palemoon because of the
mess Mozilla has made of Firefox trying to compete with Chrome.
