pefado"Important: Development on the Basilisk browser has been suspended as of December 2021. Any genuinely sincere, legitimate and reasonable developer may want to contact me if they are interested in taking over this project. I thank everyone for the support and usership of this development browser over the years." -- Moonchild.
Hans Von EichlerBasilisk is what Firefox always was and still should be before they ruined it by trying to either be Google or kiss Google's butt by trying to be like them with WebExtensions and no support for XUL or real customization. Highly recommended, along with Waterfox or Pale Moon, this makes the third of the REAL "Mozilla" triumvirate.
