Changes in Pale Moon 26.4.0:

Removed Google Search as a bundled search provider. If desired, you can manually install it (or other search engines) after the update by following the steps in the Manage Search Engines topic.
Fixed the URL API to allow "stringification" of the object per specification. This should make a number of websites happy.
Added the ES6 string .includes() function in addition to the pre-existing .contains() function for checking if a string contains another string. The .contains() function is retained for compatibility with web and extension scripts that adhere to the ES6 pre-release specification up to and including RC3.
Fixed the calculation of standalone SVG embeds width and height, which should solve some reported issues with html5 graphs being displayed incorrectly.
Linux: improved memory allocation.
Updated the graphite font library to 1.3.9.
Added a blocking rule for F-Secure's 64-bit deepguard library to prevent crashes.
Updated the SQLite library to 3.13.0.
Download= properties of links are now honored from the context menu "Save" option.
Fixed a crash in the XSS filter.
Fixed a crash in the DOM error module.
Worked around a crash on Linux
Linux: Improved optimization and GCC6 compatibility (Note: compiling with GCC 6 is still not recommended and it may or may not work, depending on your environment)
