basilisk is a free and open source xulbased web browser, featuring the wellknown firefoxstyle interface and operation. it is based on the goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of gecko) and builds on the unified xul platform (uxp), which in turn is a fork of the mozilla code base without servo or rust.

basilisk as an application is primarily a vessel for development of the xul platform it builds upon, and additionally a potential replacement for firefox to retain the use of firefox extensions.

the browser is created and maintained by the team behind pale moon , and is a fully independent fork of the mozilla firefox code.

basilisk is a modern, fullfeatured web browser. it aims to retain useful technologies that its sibling firefox has removed.

main features:

full support for javascript's ecmascript 6 standard for modern web browsing. support for all npapi plugins (unity, flash, java, authentication plugins, etc.). support for xul/overlay mozillastyle extensions. experimental support for webextensions (in geckotarget mode). please note that some mozillaspecific webextension apis are not yet available. support for alsa on linux. support for webassembly (wasm). support for advanced graphite font shaping features. support for modern web cryptography: up to tls 1.3, modern ciphers, hsts, etc.
