Is Pale Moon a beta, alpha or nightly browser?

Post by hnevis » 2014-06-28, 07:55

I am happily using Pale Moon 64 bit. I also like Dashlane password manager. I wrote the folks at Dashlane asking if there were plans to support Pale Moon. This is the response I received:

"Unfortunately, at this time there are no plans to make Dashlane compatible with Pale Moon. This is because we do not work with beta alpha or nightly browsers as our current policy. This could change in the future."

Does this accurately describe Pale Face?

Pale Moon is not a beta, alpha or nightly browser.

Pale Moon is a release-grade browser, built from release-grade code.

I really don't understand why people insist that Pale Moon would be built as anything else. It's not an experimental browser, it's not pre-release (has been out for almost 5 years now), and is a final product. In fact, there are no beta, alpha or nightly channels available to the public! Beta testing is done "in house" with a few exceptions that are clearly marked as such and never offered as regular upgrades.

Thank you, this is what I thought. I passed this information on to Dashlane.

This doesn't mean that Moonchild can just mess-around with the other channels as a side project.
I use Nightly every once in a while to see how it has improved. Nothing extraordinary, nor enough to ever want me to switch over, but when you have spare time...
