I got curious about this, as I'd never heard of it.
MyPal, despite being a very dumb name, seems to be
based on the very latest Pale Moon. And unlike the
latest New Moon, it seems to work with all of my
extensions just fine. (NoScript, Secret Agent, Disable
Style Button, Restore View Source, etc.)

On the other hand, when I installed, it tried to call
out to 3 different IPs without asking. After shutting off
all possible call-home and update settings, I started
installing extensions. But it tried to call 69.195.158.198
with each install! Huh? That resolve's to "Joe's Datacenter,
LLC". That seems to be a legitimate hosting site, but still...

I'm wondering whether anyone knows more about this
product. It seems very promising, but not if it's tracking
usage with spyware reporting.

Mayayana;

It has been a long tome since I first installed MyPal but I don't recall it
doing anything nefarious when first run. I think it just went to some sort of
welcome or release notes page. When installing new versions it does nothing but
offer to restart.
