Thanks I forgot about NetSurf. After Microsoft abandoning Blink and Opera abandoning Presto to use Chromium, the internet needs these alternatives more than ether

Is Palemoon the most popular Goanna-based browser?



The data isn't available because PaleMoon doesn't collect any analytic or telemetry data. So they don't know how big their userbase is. (Recently though, I think they have started collecting some data on hardware because they wanted to revamp their code base. See this discussion - https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30909 - I however don't know how extensive, or persistent, this data collection is / was).


Quick clarification: Microsoft abandoned Trident for Blink/Chromium.


Microsoft abandoned Spartan (the original MS Edge rewrite) for Blink, Trident was just phased out and left to die.


Oh wow, I actually completely blacked out that they attempted their own first. Those were interesting times to be a web developer.
