   I think Palemoon has stopped going into the wrong direction (I hope) since Tobin has left (?). Dramas have reduced, repos have re-opened and ports seemed to be adopted. (Clownflare was once dropped after that but it was restored recently)

   With or without JS? I don't use JS with Palemoon anyway, so I don't really see the difference (other than it looks like Palemoon or old Firefox).
   
   I agree Librewolf is more ideal for daily usage though. JavaScript and webapps just work and still quite a lot use Firefox.

     Had no idea. I thought that it would never be on any repos again because of the licensing bullshit. Still, I'd rather use LibreWolf, even though the underlying Firefox is much worse. Palemoon has been going in a bad direction anyway, and LibreWolf is the only browser with acceptable default configuration.

     Every browser other than LibreWolf that isn't actively malicious still lets the entire web collect a massive amount of data about your device.
