Are you tired of the same old browsers and want to try something better that does not require a lot of resources? Pale Moon is the answer, because it is a Firefox-based browser, which basically means that it has at least the same performance, only with lower demands regarding the PC’s resources.

Packed with the same user-friendly interface, as in most web browsers, Pale Moon offers a great experience, because it is light, responds quickly to requests and, the most important fact, it is not made by the corporate giants that are trying to dominate the entire marketplace of this niche.

In fact, Pale Moon is optimized perfectly for Windows and an interesting aspect is that it is quite faster than most web browsers out there. In comparison with Firefox, Pale Moon only has a few features, but they were selected in the idea that this web browser will be faster and will not crash as often. For example, unlike Mozilla Firefox, Pale Moon has disabled the Parental Controls feature, because, obviously, this web browser was not designed as a “secured family browser”, but was conceived as a fast way to surf around the web. More than that, Pale Moon didn’t implement the Web Development Tools, because most users will never use this feature, and disabling it means that this application can operate 20% faster than Firefox.

Pale Moon only kept the best features from Mozilla Firefox, such as the support for HTML5, CSS3 or advanced DOM. But the best feature of them all is that this application supports any extension from Firefox, so, if you want an additional feature from Firefox, which is not enabled in the first place, you could easily install and implement it in Pale Moon.

In my opinion, the only negative aspect about Pale Moon is that you have to download an additional tool to migrate your profile from Firefox into this web browser. But this isn’t so bad because this task will only take a few minutes, considering the time you will save by using Pale Moon.

Pale Moon is fast, has the good (pre-Australis) UI and runs the Firefox addons I need.

I've used Pale Moon now for many years and I never look back to Firefox.
Pale Moon is a fast, stable and customizable OpenSource browser with security options which other browsers didn't have (like the intern XSS filter).
From my side, I highly recommend Pale Moon!

Pale Moon on my computer was crashing a lot. Version 25 did not work with many of the Firefox add-ons that I had used before.

Used to be good, but not anymore. Will look for a new alternative to Firefox.
