On one hand, this is a scummy move from CloudFlare. All this has ever done is make browsers spoof their UAs. Mozilla/4.0 anyone?

On the other, Pale Moon is an ancient (pre-quantum) volunteer-supported fork of Firefox, with boatloads of known and unfixed security bugs - some fixes might be getting merged from upstream, but for real, the codebases diverged almost a decade ago. You might as well be using IE 11.

I'm not sure why people are mad at Cloudflare. They are not obligated to support browsers outside the general marketshare nor should you expect to.

Cloudflare not supporting Pale Moon has no impact on the rest of us. Matter of fact today is the first time I'm hearing of this browser I will never end up using.

This is not about supporting or not, this is outright blocking/gatekeeping; you can just let pass, but they chose to block. It's completely different from e.g. no longer releasing builds for PPC Macs.

Which are..?
