html-based controls inside privileged UI content. Need I say more?
Yes, it's somewhat vague, I would like specifics, concrete examples.

Your opinions are WELL KNOWN. You will find some way to excuse every Mozilla decision. Tend to your own users and leave the general state of things to those actually involved and invested.

@gorhill

Thanks for still keeping an eye on uBlock0 legacy, despite of some knee-jerk comments (as far as I can see the last one of them has been deleted meanwhile) made by a person on these forums.

The guy who does that site also has his own agenda and not an all together truthful one either.
What kind of agenda do you see there?

Please don't answer that, at least not in this thread, because it would completely derail it. Take that to off-topic, please.

This is all really simple for me:
Pale Moon is not FF. (TY jeebus) Nor would I want it to be.

FF already supports WEs (from what I hear) so why would a FF user that already loves their WEs want to change, or move for that matter because of WEs? They already have what they want.

Pale Moon is totally unique as of now, and it works great with all it's supported and many Legacy extensions as well, why would PM want to be like the "others" (eww i need a shower now)

But wait... there's more! Why oh why would we want more FF fans posting more gibber jabber about how this or that on Pale Moon isnt just like FF? IMO their's already enough of that here.

Simple; if you want WEs, use FF for F's sake.

Pale Moon isn't Firefox. Please don't confuse the two.
