Pale Moon 33.6.0.1 release notes:
- This is an extra update to mitigate as much of the CloudFlare issues leading to browser hangs and memory issues as possible on the web browser side. Unfortunately CloudFlare still hasn't pulled their scripts that seem to deliberately cause these issues on Pale Moon and other independent browsers they seem to want to keep from the websites they "protect". If you are interested in learning more, check out the forum thread where we're discussing this issue. Once again, please consider reporting any and all occurrences of failing or looping CloudFlare checks on websites to CloudFlare as well as the owners of affected websites (you may have to temporarily use a Chromium-based browser to do this).
Changes/fixes:
- Disabled CSP reporting temporarily to work around memory issues caused by CloudFlare's scripting. While CSP reporting is important to inform webmasters of issues with their content security policies, not having the browser eat up all memory is more critical. We do intend to re-enable this when the issue is resolved on CloudFlare's side.
- Improved CSS grid performance to avoid exponential calculations and reflows caused by CloudFlare's scripting. This wasn't a bug, per se, but could easily lock up with bad scripting if called recursively.
- Added a few other small fixes that are tangentially related to the code changes made.
