Dactyloidae is a heavily modified fork of Eclipse Hydra (fork of roytam1's Serpent, which is a fork of Basilisk, which is a fork of Firefox).

Some advantages over upstream, roytam1's Serpent, Eclipse Hydra and Firefox are:
- More optimizations (SSE2, with additional boosts for future CPUs coming soon)
- Better interoperability with upstream (using SQL storage instead of DBM)
- More modern theme
- Better e10s support
- Support for extensions in the Chrome and Edge Web Store (soon)
- Support for extensions released for both Pale Moon, Basilisk and Firefox
- WebExtensions support comparable to Firefox ESR 78
- Literally being the fastest XUL browser (33.7 in Speedometer 2.1 compared to 22.4 in Pale Moon 34.2 AVX2)
- Re-add support for iOS, Android, Windows 2000 and later, NetBSD (soon OpenBSD)
