It doesn't look like the ublock/umatrix dev has noticed this intentional breakage of ad block like functionality. I wonder if he will upgrade to palemoon at some point or just fold and delete the project. Not palemoon/the (((basilisk)))/firefox 52 ESR mind you, which is integrating the webextension features of latest mozilla but palemoon 27 which still uses xpcom and no web extensions.
In the mozilla source code for firefox and its derivatives XUL is not a addon system, it is a cancer filled shit excuse for a build system. XPCOM is the addon system and has its own subfolder.
XUL is compiling the entire binary as both static libraries and shared libraries and then at link time combining static and shared into a single shared library called libxul.so. XUL is literal maintenance cancer introduced by mozilla because of self sabotage of the netscape codebase around firefox 4 in order to better optimize on platforms that weren't unix, i.e windows.
The cancer runs deep into the build system, but it can be unfucked with a complete rewrite of the build system alone. Which would yield portability and performance optimization improvements in the form of purely static or shared libraries instead of both. Static libraries would execute on any system it was compiled for like a portable .exe for windows. Purely shared libraries would cut down on the static bloat that is javascript for windows. This would make maintenance much easier. Another performance/security improvment would be implementing free() calls throughout the tree and removing jemalloc from it.
Some function calls are called XUL in the source code, these are just C/C++ hooks into the javascript based XPCOM system that addons can take advantage of. Removing the cancer that is combining static and shared libs into one shared lib would not affect this I think. I have studied the mozilla build system far far too much. I think I might get braindamage from this shit.
>(((improvements)))
The malware you call improvements are shit. You could run palemoon 27 on less then 50MB of ram with security updates or on QT even. Sure it doesn't support always on javascript, known as css3, it doesn't support webassembly, as to infect you with malware more easily, and it doesn't support webextensions. But its performance and security is the best other then text browsers. Mind you web browser security is a joke.
Fork palemoon 27 then, as you would never have qt support or be able to run on less then 50MB of ram with firefox 52 ESR/palemoon 28. The moonchild dev, whoever he actually is, is completely and utterly compromised. He has access to the secret security section of mozilla's bugzilla so he is in cahoots with, or blackmailed by, (((george soros)))/mozilla.
Hilarious, I can have hundreds of tabs open and barely touch 300MB. Nice bloat faggot.
