[https://github.com/Feodor2/mypal Mypal] is a discontinued fork of Moonchild Productions' [http://palemoon.org/ Pale Moon] browser, targeted primarily at [[Windows XP]]. It was developed by [https://github.com/Feodor2 Feodor2]. The latest version was <code>29.3.0</code> based on the respective version of Pale Moon. Like all browsers based on [https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP UXP], it uses the Goanna rendering engine, a fork of [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Gecko Gecko].

== Use on [[CollabVM]] ==
Mypal was the default browser on [[VM2]], from March 2021 to 25/04/April 25th 2022, when it was replaced with [[Mypal 68]].
 
== Discontinuation ==
Due to the Pale Moon developers disliking the creation of forks for the use on Windows XP, and older operating systems in general, they decided all of a sudden that the browser was no longer in line with the MPL (Mozilla Public License), and therefore created a GitHub issue to complain about it. Many things happened, but Feodor was essentially bullied into discontinuing the browser. The final version can still downloaded from its [https://mypal-browser.org/ website], and a mirror of the source code can be found [https://github.com/ManchildProductions/MyPal here].
== Mypal68 ==

[https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/ Mypal68] or Mypal Quantum is a revival of the Mypal browser. It is a fork of [http://firefox.com Mozilla Firefox] 68. It also primarily targets Windows XP. The latest version is [https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases/latest 68.12.2b]. It is currently unstable
 
=== Creation ===
After the forced discontinuation of the original Mypal, feodor set to work on a new Mypal. He discovered he could build an older version of Firefox Quantum (based on [[Rust]]) if not on Windows XP, at least targeting it.
 
=== Use on CollabVM ===
Mypal68 is now the default browser on VM2 since 26/04/2022.
