Yesterday, the team behind Pale Moon, an open-source web browser introduced Basilisk, which is supposedly a “close twin to Mozilla’s Firefox”. Basilisk is an open source web browser which is based on Mozilla’s XML User Interface Language (XUL). It is being introduced as primarily a reference application for development of the XUL platform it builds upon. It features Firefox-style interface and operation.
Basilisk is still in its development phase or in beta, which means that it may have some bugs and is provided as-is, with potential defects.
Many developers are confused about how Basilisk differs from the Pale Moon browser the team offers and also why anyone would want to use pre-Servo Firefox. While some users say, “My interpretation is that this is mostly a project for the die-hard users who lost support for niche extensions they really liked when XUL left mainstream Firefox… it reads mostly like they intend to maintain it as a time capsule. “No different from last time” is exactly the main selling feature.”
