Neither(1). I base my ire on what I see. My issue isn't entirely with
Ff, in any case. For the most part, it's been add-ons that have caused
me grief. Having said that, the last update that changed the default
text colour to light grey on white (here, at any rate) wasn't a pleasant
surprise. Yes, I know it can be altered, but it requires writing style
sheets and saving them in a sub-directory under ~/.mozilla/firefox.
"WTF is that all about?!" is what most people would say.
TBH, I don't wish to go that route - after a supposed guaranteed to work
(from Mozilla, no less) style would do what I want didn't work in 99% of
cases. I've no desire to sit here picking out web elements to add to an
ever growing style sheet mess so I can simply read what is written on
the page.
There's legislation in place to make the web more 'accessible' (read:
legible to those with eye sight problems, etc.). What do the designers
do in response to that? Make everything grey on grey(2). F* brilliant.
So, after several hours of Pale Moon testing, it's that browser that I'm
using.
(1) No OS other than Debian Linux here.
(2) They'd probably call it silver.
