Re: new tabs on firefox
Firefox uses a new technology called Quantum since version 57. I was curious to know whether Palemoon uses it as well.What exactly do you mean by that?

Re: Pale Moon and Quantum technology
I've split this off so we can continue without cluttering up the original topic.
I know that the new Firefox is called 'Quantum' but I don't know what 'Quantum technology' means... let me try and look that up.
... no, I can't find anything. Which specific technology in the new Firefox do you mean?
The answer is most likely 'no', anyway. Pale Moon split off from Firefox before Australis happened.

Wasn`t that hard to find

So I would think, if Pale Moon is based on Firefox Quantum version, then yes.

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Pale Moon does not use Quantum. As they say on the Pale Moon forums: "Pale Moon is NOT Firefox and never will be again!" And Pale Moon uses its own engine anyway, Goanna. Pale Moon is a true fork of FF, not a clone.

Re: Pale Moon and Quantum technology
...Mozilla is working since quite sometime on Servo, which in turn is written in the nowadays all-the-rage Rust.Ie. that's the future to speak off.
Quantum was used as a codename for current FF 57, and in a certain sense, implements partially some of those features & ideas. Look here for example. At least that's how i've understood it so far.
Now what will eventually get completed / implemented or not, and what will remain a distant dream / marketing fad or not, who knows...
From the above however, it's relatively easy to make some wild guesses on the potential / future of current alternatives like Palemoon etc i think...unless they make drastic changes as well...

Re: Pale Moon and Quantum technology
This whole thing with Quantum was the spur for the Pale Moon developer(s) to create Basilisk, which is used as the vehicle to develop a fork of the platform code pre-Quantum. The link below explains it better than I can:
