The catch with Palemoon is that every time it is updated, it seems to run slower. I have had enough. Can anyone suggest another browser to run in Xenial or Tahr pups?

Very sad to have to inform us all that the Chrome in this distro no longer works with Netflix. Exton went to all this trouble and Netflix moved the goalposts - again
