This was recommended to me as a lightweight browser, but (at least on Linux) it's barely functional. I have literally never had a slower internet experience, even back in the days when a 2600 baud modem was smokin' hot.

Is it good for *anything*? Why does this exist?

If you want non Firefox/Chrome browser
Try Orion, it should be based on safari.

The problem is that Pale Moon (and Basilisk) is using what's essentially an old Firefox engine with newer features and security updates duct taped to it.
>>
>>109774549
The internet is unfortunately designed specifically for chrome. So most sites run like shit on anything that isn't chrome.

Pale Moon was basically Librewolf during the Gecko-engine Firefox days. Gecko is nearly 10 years out of date, I don't think it's wise to a browser based on it anymore.

I use it on legacy Windows (xp and vista). But I see there are chromium based browsers that can do that now.

2 rupees have been added to your bank account
I see the jewgle shills are in full force today

Pale Moon is hands down the only browser out there that respects you, and the vast majority of websites worth visiting work perfectly in it

Does the developer still block extensions he doesn't want you to be able to use?
>>
It can be pretty functional but it's not like other browsers, so don't treat it the same. I love Pale Moon and use it almost exclusively.

I tried palemoon a long time ago when I was schizomaxxing. It was passable for privacy. I don't remember why I stopped using it.

It was good 20 years ago.

ive tested it several years ago, before i got enlightened about threading model VS process model which is basically why Chrome became superior to Firefox.

PaleMoon is full gas no breaks on threading model, is also stepped into DX11 and other stuff it will never be able to get out without full rebranding.

it sends telemetry back to the moon (its home or whatever it is). i saw those connections myself, you either liar or never tested it

This is what you get with Male Poon

Yeh no shit. Google caches everything it thinks you might click on in your system memory. The more it caches, the faster it goes. That's why it uses so much ram. I mean a lot of it is bloat, but there is a reason for its insane ram usage. A browser that doesn't do that (or doesn't do that to the extent Chrome does) is always going to feel like shit compared to Chromium browsers.

Out of the box, yes. You can easily change that though.

What's the point?
