It pulls from git repos during build-time, so it does not meet SBo standards. I am subscribed to the Pale Moon RSS feed, and when a new version is available, I run this script and wind up with a local upgradeable package in just a few minutes or a few hours, depending on the machine I'm using at the time. It has worked flawlessly for the last few versions, but YMMV, as always.

Feel free to use and modify, obviously. Or not, but I thought I'd share anyway... As written, it complies the browser using the generic "New Moon" branding, but you can easily switch to the official branding just by commenting out a single line in the build script.
Can one not git clone from that URL without signup? It always times-out or something.

The git clone address is one directory higher, no signup needed:

https://git.disroot.org/shelldweller/SlackBuilds.git

You get a few other build scripts with that clone URL, but it's just scripts so it's a small download, you can safely ignore the non-newmoon folders.
