But MX-23 package of Pale Moon 33.2.1 (amd64, GTk3) works on my PC, how it could be if it is not SSE2 build and my CPU is SSE2 only?
SSE2 build was the default build, until 33.3.0 (now the default is AVX)

OK, I guess it now has to be specially enabled in the configuration?

Appsoft, do you have any data on how much resources are saved with gtk2 vs gtk3?

Anyway, the builds are here if you want them early: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hs-agw ... sp=sharing

For better compatibility into MX, and for most people, SSE (2-3-4 ?) is better than AVX or AVX2, AVX512, etc. (with the old PCs)

So yes, and maybe some tests are needed ?

EX: For my PC, sse is OK, avx is OK but not avx2, avx512

No data, but behavior somehow.

Is there a good easy to use tool/utility to collect data on difference in GTK2 and GTK3 versions performance?
