I lost touch with it as soon as Opera appeared and stayed with that until
it imploded, took a look at Vivaldi, which I've never liked, and so ended
up with FF until they started to do dumb things to the screen layout and
PaleMoon appeared. Used that until it seemed to fold its tents and vanish
a year or three back and went back to FF.
Now Pale Moon is back in contention, the only reason I'm not running that
is that I prefer FF's Ghostery, uBlock Origin and Cookie Autodelete to
Pale Moon's Adblock Lattitude and Cookies Exterminator.
