About:
Pale Moon is an open-source web browser optimized for efficiency and modern systems. It focuses on providing a customizable browsing experience with support for legacy extensions and a streamlined rendering engine. The browser prioritizes user privacy and resource conservation over integration with proprietary web services.
Key Features:
  • Highly customizable user interface
  • Support for legacy Firefox extensions (XUL)
  • Optimized for resource efficiency
  • Independent browser engine (Goanna)
Use Cases:
  • Browsing the web with a focus on privacy and customization
  • Running older web applications that require legacy extension support
Alternatives:
  • Firefox – Firefox is the upstream source for Pale Moon's engine but has moved to a different architecture and UI philosophy
  • Waterfox – A fork that maintains support for legacy Firefox extensions while tracking a more recent Firefox codebase
