Tried Pale Moon?[0] And no, I am not affiliated in any way just a happy user that assumes more users are better then fewer users.

Pale Moon's stance on pdf.js makes me very nervous:
https://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#features
As I understand, the author's opinion is that Adobe Reader is more secure than pdf.js. I'm not sure I would trust them with maintaining a secure browser in light of that.
Their monetization model is also questionable (I understand it injects ads / referral links).

Any source for that? A quick search didn't turn up anything and seeing as Pale Moon is now on my shortlist of Firefox alternatives I'd be interested.

Sorry, I might have been confused there, looking at where I thought I read that I see it's just the default search engine:

Never heard of it, quick scan of the page seems to indicate that it is windows/linux only though? I did a quick look at the download page and didn't see an osx build.
That is overall fine but I like to keep my browsers portable across all of my primary operating systems.

Yeah, that's kind of my only advantage for not liking Mac (wish I did:).
Still, it is just a forked Firefox so it uses the same extensions etc for now, maybe using FF on Mac and PM on the other platforms would be possible?

Pale Moon for Mac OSX 24.7.1
Losing tree style tabs in 42 has made me nervous, it was the primary reason I love firefox. Without that most of the why in using firefox goes away for me.
