Pale Moon v33.3.0 (2024-08-13).
Remark: This forum is removing some formatting (specifically, the bullet-points) included in the text I've copied/pasted. I will not take the time to edit/fix all the separators. If the text here appears confusing, please see the post in the release notes:
https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml
This is a major development update.
Important notes with this version:
Changes/fixes:
@layer{}
). This implementation is not 100% complete yet, but should satisfy common use of CSS cascade layers on the web.Sec-Fetch-*
headers, implementing another mechanism to deal with site security. See this part of the spec for a primer on what this does.toFixed
and related functions with the spec. See implementation notes.PostMessage
andBroadcastChannel
with expected values on the web. See implementation notes.navigator.webdriver
attribute for web compatibility (always false in Pale Moon as we do not support browser automation APIs).network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS
pref. DNS prefetching should not be treated differently for http and https.Implementation notes:
For some people, this may still be seen as a privacy issue (e.g. when the DNS server operated within an organization is tightly monitored for "unwanted traffic") as it will regularly fire DNS lookups for hosts or domains the user doesn't actually visit, so if this is a concern for you and you wish to revert to our previous behavior, go to Preferences -> Advanced -> tab "Network", and uncheck "Prefetch DNS lookups".
network.dns.blockQuad0
-- if set totrue
, any attempt to connect to the reserved addresses will result in an error.toFixed
no longer accepts negative precision ranges, andtoExponential
will now round up at the midpoint in the decimal significand.BroadcastChannel
andMessagePort
implicitly called for dispatched events to not be trusted, but since browsers marked them as trusted, this was in conflict with the spec. Eventually, the spec for this was changed to make them trusted in this case. Pale Moon now follows this behavior as well.----------------------------
