Goanna is an open-source browser engine that is a fork of Mozilla's Gecko.[3] It is used in the Pale Moon browser, the Basilisk browser, and other UXP-based applications.[4][5] Other uses include a fork of the K-Meleon browser[6] and the Mypal browser for Windows XP.[7]
Goanna as an independent fork of Gecko was first released in January 2016.[2] The project's founder and lead developer, M. C. Straver,[1] had both technical and trademark motives to do this in the context of Pale Moon's increasing divergence from Firefox.[8][9]
There are two significant aspects of Goanna's divergence: It does not have any of the Rust language components that were added to Gecko during Mozilla's Quantum project,[10][11] and applications that use Goanna always run in single-process mode, whereas Firefox became a multi-process application.[12][13]
