That's another web browser I cannot recommend. The persons behind it are rather hostile and not friendly at all.

Just look how they treated the FreeBSD guys[1]. Spoiler: Palemoon is no longer available in FreeBSD and will never be. This is the case for 99% of all others as well[2].

The reason that no one's including the web browser in their repos is not only because of how they treat everyone, it's because of their proprietary bulls**t license[3] that no one wants to poke at, not even with a stick.

If you look up Palemoon on the web you will find a lot more drama surrounding them.
