I cannot ue chrome on the web any more, because it is no longer supported on my 32-bit devuan system. It still runs, but is a security risk without security patches. Except, of course, on html files I build myself on the local system -- I just don't put in popups or ads or malware. I use mathjax to display mathematics. It is acceptable on chrome, and on midori. It is ridiculously slow on iceweasel. Not only that, but after it desplays my equations (it's a long document, bot just a small note) it keeps blanking the screen and restoring it for a randoom amount of time. It's even *fast* on midori. I don't know about palemoon. The main problems I've had with midori is that I haven't figured out how to get it to import bookmarks from iceweasel of chrome, and I can't figure out how to get is to sort local directories into alphabetical order -- almost any reasonable alphaet would do. If palemoon acts reasonably with mathjax, I'd be happy to welcome it to the fold. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
