Today, something very funny happened at work. All big browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) failed at downloading a file from the Xerox homepage, namely the Xerox Device Agent. These browsers just didn't proceed to ask for a place to save the file (in their standard configuration, on Linux and Windows).

Only Pale Moon did the job. Congratulations to the developers! I expect, you simply managed to not break something.

I guess it hangs on Gooble's blacklist and download control, no?

It was meant to cheer you up. Did it work?
Consider normal users, who don't configure their browsers at all: They are confronted with a problem, they can't solve. That's quite a rare thing that a special browser like Pale Moon would solve their problem.

GNU IceCat is based on an older (but still Quantum) version of FF ESR though. And it probably doesn't use Google's safe browsing.

For me, it did. But it also made me careless about using the fucking "b*list word.
Think I'm too old to memorize all these new idiotic pc rules - excuses and sorry, guys

I think you guys are completely misunderstanding what Tobin and Moonchild are trying to say.
