palemoon SSE2

[Tweakzy]

is it possible to use SSE3 or SSE4.1/4.2 for the newer cpus

will it perform better what are the benefits.

and can you multi thread palemoon so its default and designed for multi-core cpus

keep up the good work

[Moonchild]

Global use of SSE3 and 4 are not supported by Microsoft's compiler, so it's not a possibility. In addition, SSE3 and 4/4.1 are not of particularly big benefit to a browser.

Pale Moon is already multithreaded by design, although the use of multiple cores is still rather limited because of the mostly linear processing required for parsing web pages. Web pages can use web workers, though, which will in fact use all available cores if enough workers are used.

As an aside, Pale Moon 20.2 will see the introduction of more multi-core features than it already has, but development is slow since parallelizing code is tricky.

ok i do notice the other browsers are signed digitally is there a reason why palemoon is not

can you please digitally sign palemoon i dont like the look of the untrusted warnings

[Moonchild]

Code signing certificates are expensive. I mean, really expensive.

wow i didnt know that after reading this i googled it very expensive i did read heaps of benefits like antivirus handles files better because there signed as trusted
they even work better with the os maybe you could make a donation pool and we can donate the money to cover the cost.

it would look good to see when installing moonchild productions over the yellow untrusted one

I do sign my binaries, but I don't use code signing on the installers.

well i dont have a spare $800 and when i right click binaries in palemoon folder i cant find the digital signature tab am i doing something wrong

[Moonchild]

Mind the wink smiley after my statement...

Yes, you are.

To verify the signature, use PGP or GPG or (more user-friendly) Cryptophane with the PGP signature + my public key + the binary you downloaded (e.g. the installer or zip or portable package).
