Even if that reddit post is 100% correct, the author's behavior strikes me as the epitome of trolling. So I'm not inclined to take their words particularly seriously.

The author basically walked into a community of Pale Moon enthusiasts and shouted: "Hey Palemoon fans! Y'know that thing you love? It's going to die! Sorry!".

The legitimately-concerned version of this post would go something like: "If Palemoon can't implement web components, does the browser have a future?"

Well, it COULD mean the end of this browser, which i would not call a big loss, as it was always outdated and the makers ripped out vital security features like sandboxing or they have been unable to implement Mozilla implemented tor based privacy fixes!

It is better that the fans are learning WHAT COULD HAPPEN - because if they would not learn the truth, they are suddenly sitting around with a dead and even more outdated browser.

This is too important than to ignore it or not to post about it.
