Mypal VS jailhouse

They only reason there hasn't really been a new release is bc they were changing the code base to Firefox. There is a test build here, info here, and the souce code here.

This is interesting because the author was originally requested to stop development by the Pale Moon team over a conflict. I checked today and discovered a new fork. It's exciting to see someone so dedicated to keeping a functional browser working under XP.

I can't find the original thread regarding the dispute, but it's referenced in a past readme:

Found on https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal/issues/46. There've been a few similar messages about this on RuBoard, IIRC

Not sure, he never offered a way to donate. You could ask on his GitHub as he doesn't appear to use reddit. https://github.com/feodor2/mypal

You could run it inside something like jailhouse hypervisor (https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse) if you want to give it direct dedicated "baremetal" access to hardware. You could do this inside of a buildroot linux image. This would need a customized simulator.

Yes indeed, and Siemens even has their own hypervisor: https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse

Yeah, I think that is what something like https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/apalis-arm-family/nxp-imx-8 is useful for, where it has a separate core. Or even on linux you can use isolcpus to get pseudo-isolation. There are also hardware hypervisors like Jailhouse (https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse) which can completely isolate hardware resources and I suppose might prevent the GPU from causing an issue with realtime task. But this definitely affects ease-of-use and probably requires a reduced feature set in the language (no dynamic allocations) and lots of unsafe code.
