What is Basilisk?

Basilisk

Basilisk is a cool web browser created by the Pale Moon team. If you’re looking for a modern alternative to Mozilla's Firefox, this is it! It’s built on the latest Firefox code but doesn’t forget about older features like XUL, which makes it unique.

Why Choose Basilisk?

This browser is mainly aimed at XUL development. So, if you want to keep using those classic extensions, you’re in luck! You can easily install them from Mozilla’s dedicated webpage. Plus, Basilisk has some experimental support for WebExtensions too, although not all features may work since some are specific to Mozilla.

Modern Features

Thanks to its roots in modern Firefox versions, Basilisk supports contemporary ciphers and WebAssembly. You’ll find many of the same features that you love in the latest editions of Firefox!

Familiar Interface

Basilisk uses the Goanna rendering engine, which is a fork of Mozilla's Gecko. So if you've used Firefox before version 57, you’ll feel right at home with Basilisk. Everything from tab management options to button layouts and customization settings feels familiar.

Easy Navigation and Settings

The options section opens just like it does in Firefox. You can tweak how the browser behaves and looks, change your search engine, manage notifications, and set your privacy and security preferences with ease.

Powerful Performance

Basilisk packs a powerful rendering engine that brings all those perks we love about Firefox. Legacy extensions work smoothly here! The development team is focused on keeping the platform updated without major changes to the user interface anytime soon.
