Version: 32.5.2
Like Gazman noted (below), the M1/M2 Silicon ARM version can be downloaded on Palemoon website. Thanks to developer for taking care of their exceptional browser!

Version: 32.4.1
The download link above is for the Intel version. To download the Apple Silicon version you need to go to their website and download the 'Mac OS ARM' dmg. MacUpdate needs to make their description clearer.

Version: 32.3.0
Unfortunately this excellent browser needs a "helper" to work on Silicon Mac. It's unacceptable. It's been two years since M1 was released.

Version: 32.1.0
I have to say, this is a speedy browser. Webpages load a lot quicker than Google & Firefox.
But, the pop-ups come thick and fast, even when my preferences were set to block AND I installed two extensions. I really want to like this, but at the moment, the advertising is taking-up too much room on my screen within a few seconds and I can't see much.
