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.
