Pale Moon – Hidden Gem among Browsers
When it comes to the browsers, the vast majority of the
Internet users mention just few popular names, like Internet Explorer (IE),
Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. The market is almost completely occupied by few major
players. However, it does not mean that the competition to the leaders does not
exist. There are some products, which form several perspectives are even
better, more features rich, and even more reliable. For example, if you are a fan
of Firefox, I would encourage you to take a look on the Pale Moon browser, which
is built on Mozilla platform, but claimed to be much better than the source.
Pale Moon is a fast and stable Open Source alternative to
the standard Firefox browser. It is an Open Source program, available for
Microsoft Windows and Linux (with other operating systems in development).
Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser
completely built from its own, independently developed source, that has been
forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code, with carefully selected features and optimizations
to maximize the browser's speed (up to 25% faster), stability and user
experience, while offering a rich collection of extensions and themes
(including compatibility with many Firefox extensions users have come to love
and rely on).
