Description

Could you add Pale Moon and Otter to the list of browsers?
Here's some info about Pale Moon:
General Information: http://www.palemoon.org/info.shtml

One of the devs is sometimes kind of rude to people who regurgitate myths about the browser, which has given them a lot of bad PR lately, but I really don't think it's fair to judge the community as a whole based on his behavior as some do.

The Otter browser is a project by former Opera devs to create a browsing experience like that of Opera, powered by the WebKit engine, qt5, and eventually Chrome's add-on system. It's kind of buggy at the moment, but may at least be something to look out for in the relatively near future. The website is here: https://otter-browser.org/

Lastly, I'd like to mention Gab at https://gab.com/ which is more or less Twitter without the ridiculous amounts of censorship. While it is often called an "echo chamber for the far-right" so are Minds and BitChute, and the claims are just as false for Gab as for them.
