Dactyloidae web browser

Official Discord server

Dactyloidae is a 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 and Hydra are:

• More optimizations
• Better interoperability with upstream. (using SQL storage instead of DBM)
• More modern theme
• Better e10s support
• 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 34.1 AVX2)
• Re-add support for iOS, Android, Windows XP, (soon OpenBSD and NetBSD)
