Development direction feedback

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

That's a very small number. Maybe 0.5% that actually use the current version of Pale Moon on Windows 7? I would have thought it was much higher based on the number of Windows 7 users who post on the forum, more like 10% or more.
It just shows you that most Pale Moon users aren't very vocal about it or don't feel the need to be active on the forum.
If those stats are correct then it's possible that most Pale Moon users don't report issues on the forum because they are using the current version on a targeted current OS where Pale Moon works very well. That's my experience anyway. I often notice that I don't experience issues that are raised on the forum by others, especially with respect to slowness, stuttering of video, scrolling problems, etc. Might also have to do with the fact I mostly use hardware that's about 4 years old or newer.

Neither do I. Hardware might be a factor for sure.

I'm one of the 1% using always the latest Pale Moon (manual update) on Win7-x64.
BTW, Pale Moon (-x64-avx) works fine as well since my CPU has support for avx (unfortunately too old for avx2 support).
