Binary is fine for regular installs... See below.

That sure is Jessie, that's what I first installed for real (not counting
numerous previous tries in Virtual Machines).

I've ran that same version 27.3.0, the repack available from Steven Pusser's
repo, for one month and a half or so, but it failed on me just recently:
Palemoon installation from source
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=616
( how it failed is in the Pale Moon Forums linked there, in the recent posts of course:
Building Pale Moon on Devuan fails
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=15751
).
It is currently being built in my Air-Gapped (I'm online only with the clone of it, ever).

I pretty strongly believe that it's way, way more privacy friendy than the
intrusive "big" browsers, to cosider only GNU/Linux available: Firefox, Opera,
Chromium. The comparison is like btwn Google and Duckduckgo.

I analyze the network a lot, still learning, but what I get with my (primitive) programs:
https://github.com/miroR/tshark-streams and
https://github.com/miroR/tshark-hosts-conv (develop branch recommended there at this time)
do speak very much in favor of Palemoon (or, it has started as, and still is
mostly used as, a Windows browser, by Mark Straver: Pale Moon).

I'm engrossed in the compiling, sorry for late reply...

Regards!
