    Goanna is an open-source browser engine and part of Unified XUL Platform that was forked from Mozilla's Gecko.[3] It is used in the Pale Moon and Basilisk browsers. It underlies the Interlink mail client, Hyperbola's fork of Basilisk known as Iceweasel-UXP, and other UXP-based applications.[4][5][6] It was also unofficially ported to Windows XP for the K-Meleon browser[7] and Mypal.[8]

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    Goanna as an independent fork of Gecko was first released in January 2016.[2] The project's founder and lead developer, M. C. Straver,[1] cited technical- and trademark-related motives to do this in the context of Pale Moon's increasing divergence from Firefox.[9][10] There are two significant aspects of Goanna's divergence: it does not have any of the Rust language components that were added to Gecko during Mozilla's Quantum project,[11][12] and applications that use Goanna always run in single-process mode, whereas Firefox became a multi-process application.[13][14]
