XF 2.3 compatibility with Pale Moon Browser

How much global marketshare does that browser have?
I guess the market share is tiny, maybe thousands of users not millions of users.
I've found Pale Moon handy over the years; I used to use it for years as an early 64-bit browser. I guess I can't worry if xenforo isn't compatible with 0.003% - 0.013% of the worldwide market, but it seems like only a small appearance glitch with the popups/overlays. (I'm typing this message in Pale Moon to test, and all the major functionality except for the overlays, thread previews, and lightbox seems to work fine.)
Would be curious for any info on what the feature is here that pale moon doesn't support for these overlays.
Or if there is any easy tweak for backward compatibility.

Got a good response on the Pale Moon forum --
It turns out the issue of the overlays not disappearing is a specific combination of Pale Moon + xenforo 2.x(?) + wacom driver. I haven't ever seen a problem with a web browser css/js before with wacom drivers over the last 25 years; otherwise I would have tested more before posting it. So that's a problem that is very specific.
The black on black popup overlays on forum titles and other icons and an additional issue of lightbox images not loading on XF 2.3 with Pale Moon are addressed.
Thanks very much.

I get you completely. I was a die hard Opera browser fan back when they used their own rendering engine (Presto). When they adopted Chrome's engine back in 2013, I used their last Presto version for a couple of years, and small compatibility issues started manifesting on newer websites.
I eventually found most of the features I loved from Opera's legacy software as Chrome add-ons and made the jump to Chromium.
Did you consider vivaldi?
Might have to switch to either waterfox or vivaldi for an additional browser.
I've used Vivaldi since it was announced, and previously was primarily an Opera user.
It is overall the most productive browser, more so with Chrome extension support to fill voids of features that are missing.
If you often have a lot of tabs, Vivaldi is for sure the best browser, especially with the added workspace feature.
How is Vivaldi handling Manifest v3? I haven't been able to find anything on them using it or not (ala Brave), but that's a stopping point for me switching to it.View attachment 329946
New feature added to Vivaldi... also shows you how Vivaldi handles lots and lots of tabs.
the 800+ was from my old computer, while 309 is what I synced to new computer today.
Currently use Zen/Firefox and Google likes to slow my youtube tabs down to a halt pretty much if they even detect the addon installed. Think 5-10 seconds of hovering a video waiting for the player buttons to appear / be usable. Pages taking long to load. And a few other oddities.
Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality | Vivaldi Browser
Google is forcing an update from manifest v2 to v3. With the most important functionality built into Vivaldi, it will have a limited impact. Those running extensions not supporting v3 will be affected.

I haven't actually noticed any issues outside of the usual odd quirks you'd have with any browser, and I'm using the built in ad blocker and uBlock Origin.
