OK, probably I will try out what you suggest with the portable loader. I just cannot invest so much time in experimenting with browsers. But thank you anyway for your suggestion! - Unfortunately in my case it would most likely be fatal to not use an antivirus software. (No matter what I think of that kind of software in general.)

I'll consider turning off the behavioral detection. This is not a question of trust, but of annoyance. Generally speaking I can use those browsers. But I don't want to have to declare an exception all the time. It's annoying and time consuming. Regarding AVG: It's the only commercial Security Suite I know (besides Avast and Avira, which all come from the same source?) that still runs under Vista.

The official Pale Moon build that you have linked to doesn't support Windows Vista any more. I've tried out the newest portable version once, and it didn't start, and I had to reboot my laptop as (I suppose) it messed something up in RAM memory. Because when I started one of the builds of roytam1 afterwards, Windows Vista hanged up completely.

Hello. I have some issues with both your Basilisk and New Moon browser. (I am a simple user, not a developer.) Concerning Basilisk: When I constantly used version 2020.07.04, I once transferred the contents of the profiles folder (...\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild\Basilisk\Profiles\...) to a folder on an internal HDD in order to relieve stress from my SSD with my operating system on it (Windows Vista 32-bit). I edited the profiles.ini file ("Path=") to reflect that change. Everything worked fine. Now when trying out your latest build (v52.9.0), I decided to revert my changes and copied the contents of that folder back to the respective folder on the SSD. I also made the appropriate change in the profiles.ini file, and took care that the folder name of the profile is everywhere the same (in that file, in the AppData\Roaming as well as in the AppData\Local folder). For the moment I still want to use the older version of Basilisk, v2020.07.04. I am not running your latest build any more because (which is another problem that I wanted to mention) I can't open a page by inserting the address via Paste, and pressing Return, or by Paste & Go. The browser does nothing when I do that. But now with your previous build, the problem is that every time when I start the browser, and often during using it, my AVG Internet Security gives me an "IDP.Generic" virus warning. Each time when that happens I have to declare an exception for basilisk.exe. (That warning seems to be a problem with all your browser builds, but usually I just have to declare an exception only the first time when starting the browser, now I have to declare it every time when starting and during operation.) Perhaps the depicted problem has something to do with the fact that the location of the folder with the profile, in AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming, changed from Moonchild to Moonchild Productions? (Though I copied the profile of the older version to the right folder, to Moonchild, instead of Moonchild Productions.) Concerning New Moon: With version 27.9.7, when I want to open a page in a new tab by right clicking on the link and choosing Open Link in New Tab, the browser simply does nothing. The same with Open Link in New Window, Open Link in New Private Window, Open Link in Current Tab, or with any other option in that context menu. (For that reason, for now I still use version 28.10.1a1.) Addendum: When AVG reports a suspected virus, the Task Manager will show at least two Basilisk processes that are running. Even if I originally only started the browser once and ended all previous Basilisk processes.
