Good Day Folks,
So yesterday I upgraded my Pale Moon install on all my machines, not thinking much about the process. However, when I read the release notes, and started using the browser after the update I was blown away.
I have been a hardcore PM user since I first discovered it ~2014 and it has been my browser of choice for browsing the web.
Anyway, it seems that the update has improved the performance on Javascript-heavy websites a great deal, also the restart bug has been fixed, as pointed out by FranklinDM in a post.
Thank You all for making this possible.
Also, it is great to see that PM is available on FreeBSD again, I hope this move brings over move code contributors and users+donations.

That will be primarily because of sites no longer using cripplingly-slow polyfill libraries. Not that polyfills have to be slow, but apparently the ones in use are.
I don't think that's very likely, considering the comparatively small number of FreeBSD users as a whole. But one can hope

Seems like this 32.2.0 was the version of Pale Moon that MC was aiming toward about a year and a half ago when he announced the big changes. Just very responsive, works pretty much everywhere. This is a fantastic browser, from a fantastic development team.
For anyone who's been sitting on the fence in regards to donating to the project, this would be a good time to jump in and start making a small monthly financial commitment. You can see that this development team can stretch your donations quite far.
Compare this level of detail and refinement to what Mozilla does with $400+ million per year - constantly running in random circles like a dog chasing its tail, with no clear forward direction. There's really no comparison.
