   I noticed that the Pale Moon idiots refer to the Camellia family of ciphers in their documentation as "camilla cyphers".

   We can add that to the list of reasons not to use their software if you want security.

      I mean, the intentionally unpatched CVEs should be enough to demonstrate that the maintainer doesn't make good decisions, right?

      But on top of that, the maintainer wrote the docs himself, so it proves he doesn't know anything about encryption and therefore has no business forking an SSL library (yes Pale Moon forks NSS).

      And remember, if you try to fix any of this unmitigated disaster, you get treated to harassment from the maintainer and his social circle.

      Which is exactly why Pale Moon is blocked from ever entering Alpine.
