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.

Being new to mozilla based browsers, I find about:config very cool and have used it to experiment with some of the garbage collection settings, as mentioned in another thread.

Anyway, while I imagine this is not news to long-time Pale Moon users, today I discovered about:about and mention it in case anyone else didn't know about it and finds all the extra pages interesting like I do.

I have no idea what about:checkerboard is for!

In this case, though, it's more about clunky scrolling, I think.

We don't use the asynchronous panning and zooming code at the moment which would result in checkerboard rendering if enabled. That page is non-functional as a result.
