Basilisk

Version: 2017-11-13
Homepage: http://www.basilisk-browser.org/
Supportforum: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=60
Lizenz: Open-Source
Plattformen: Windows 32- und 64-bit, Linux: 64-bit

Beschreibung:
Basilisk ist ein neuartiger, experimentfreudiger Web-Browser , der aus Teilen von Mozilla Firefox (EFB-Suche) (Version 55) sowie aus Teilen von PaleMoon (EFB-Suche) (Goanna-Engine) besteht. Die Basis ist die Unified XUL Platform (UXP), die aus Teilen von Servo / Rust entstanden ist. Mit diesem Browser soll gezeigt werden, dass XUL auch in modernen Browser eine Zukunft hat. Dieser Browser ist vor allem eine Entwicklerbasis, auf der PaleMoon-Browser weiterentwickelt werden soll.
Dabei werden viele moderne Web-Features unterstützt, aber es gibt auch weiterhin Support für
- XUL-basierte Add-Ons, die mit Firefox Version 57 wertlos geworden sind und
- NPAPI Plugins, wie Java
und zwar werden XUL-Add-Ons auch in Zukunft unterstützt!
Das Erscheinungsbild ist ähnlich wie bei Firefox, so dass sich Mozilla-gewohnte Benutzer hier schnell einfinden können.
Der Browser ist vor etwas für experimentierfreudige Benutzer (da er sich in einem (permanenten) Beta-Stadium befindet) und für XUL-Entwickler.

Fixed potential registry name collisions on Windows for file types and protocols.
Renamed Options to Preferences (Windows) and moved Preferences to the Tools menu (Linux).
Switched off automatic form filling of login credentials and added a preference to control this.
Completely removed the "Mozilla Settings Service" and "Blocklist service" client.
Fixed a margin issue for the navigation bar.
Adjusted the performance-timing resolution to prevent timing-based hardware-specific attacks ("Meltdown"/"Spectre").
Limited the number of shared Array Buffers for normal JS code to prevent allocation issues.
Disabled shared JS memory for the time being to make doubly-sure it can't be abused while "Spectre" is investigated further.
