Yeah, but rather than "resistance from BSD community" I would call it "Pale Moon developers being huge d* * *s" https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86

Wow, that got out of hand quickly. Like in a matter of minutes.

At first I was thinking, "Oh, neat. A browser I know nothing about. Maybe I'll give it a try."

After reading how multiple Pale Moon people acted in that thread, I'll pass. I've worked with people like that in the past, and I don't want to support them in any way, or validate their work.

As far as I can tell, they don't even have a trademark on Pale Moon

(EDIT): Ah shucks, USPTO TESS links don't work correctly. Anyway just search for "Pale Moon", I couldn't find anything relevant. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/

Wow, those guys sure know how to not make friends. Last I checked choice of bundled or system libraries is normally reserved for distro packagers, and one would really hope the system libs win out wherever possible!
