Although the number of extensions it supports may be minimum, it operates very well with iMacros. It used to base its code on old Firefox codebase with Gecko layout engine, but they have now a new “Goanna” layout engine which they claim “fairly close to Gecko.” As the layout is not a concern at the moment, here’s how you add the iMacros browser extension to the browser.Īlthough iMacros extension does not officially support the browser, the developer team created an extension porting tool that works to implement latest Firefox extension to Pale Moon. “ Pale Moon” is the fork that is light and still supports almost latest iMacros browser extension.
While K-Melon is the lightest, it does not support Firefox extensions, and there’s no point in using Waterfox as Mozilla ships Firefox for both 32bit and 62bit processors. Firefox is my browser of choice for developing and testing, and I have used multiple forks from Waterfox to K-Melon. These forks are often specialized version with something unique with features added or removed from the main source. There are many forks of the popular open source Chromium and Firefox browsers.
However, they would both run poorly on older machines. Firefox has gotten better at managing memory than its early days and Chrome has many many plugins to customize. The outlying principles in design and features may be different but having cutting edge technology underneath is the competition. If they do not, there’s an outcry among followers from both sides. The pressure to implement new technology into their browser is a competition everyone is trying to win. The mainstream browsers are sure getting heavier with each release. Premium version of iMacros does offer it’s own browser which is light, but it is not optimal if you are new and want to run JavaScript code with it. However, the problem is that many of the browsers that run iMacros plugin are very heavy on resources, and as a tester, it is convenient have a light browser to run continuously over a period of time. Even professionals use it to simulates user actions (hovering/clicking) pretty well unlike other available options. However, iMacros is still cool for anyone who’s starting off with automating the web, testing their websites, scraping or crawling. You can only use the default set of commands provided by iMacros. Latest iMacros extensions for Firefox and Chrome are not capable of running strictly JavaScript based macros anymore.
