--- Comment #109 from Kostas Oikonomou <k.oikonomou@att.net> ---
Alternative to Pale Moon: SeaMonkey

I've recently switched to SeaMonkey, see https://www.seamonkey-project.org/.

You can see the details on the above site, but, briefly, (1) SeaMonkey has =
the
"classic" look that Pale Moon has/had, (2) it is based on the Firefox rende=
ring
engine, so compatibility with web sites is much better than PM's, (3) it al=
so
offers a built-in mail client based on Thunderbird, but again with a classic
UI.

The situation with plugins/extensions is not as good as with PM, but should
improve. There is an unofficial port to FreeBSD, see
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/disaster-strikes-seamonkey-removed-from-=
ports-tree.71335/page-1.
Interestingly, the port was removed from the tree for some of the same reas=
ons
that PM was removed *initially*.

The good thing about the port is that it requires no changes at all to the
code, it consists only of distinfo, pkg-desrc, and Makefile.
The downside is that (currently) the port depends on python2.7, like PM. Bu=
t if
you've kept python2.7 around, building SeasMonkey is very simple.
