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).
