If it weren't for Pale Moon I'd have to seriously reconsider if I need the are a hallmark of classical mozilla-style applications and as such a lot of this information not only applies to Pale Moon but to Basilisk and other applications based on the Unified XUL Platform. Every other browser has lost my interest a long time ago by doing one thing or another I don't agree with. Overall: I am a web developer by trade and I couldn't do my job without Pale Moon.Īs a general web user, I cringe thinking about how I'd get by without it. Most of the problems with Pale Moon are not Pale Moon problems, they are caused by web developers doing poor feature detection, non-standards compliant design, or outright browser discrimination. Often they get this wrong for Pale Moon, and web sites might falsely tell you that Pale Moon is out of date, or can't use such-and-such feature, or similar. Some web developers don't feature-detect properly, and use User Agents instead to determine what your browser can and can't do. Everyone targets Chrome (just like they used to target IE 6) so using Pale Moon can feel like using Firefox back when "designed for Internet Explorer" was the norm. Some web developers are not creating standards-compliant web pages, so those may not render perfectly. Web pages with truck loads of JavaScript might render a little slower as well. If it works on Pale Moon, it will surely work on everything else you care about.Ĭons: The Pale Moon browser is no longer the speed demon it used to be. It is a joy to develop against for that reason. You won't find another browser that sticks to standards better than Pale Moon. The most standards compliant browser in existence. Pale Moon is easily the most secure browser available, with a smaller code-base than any of the main browsers, no currently-known vulnerabilities, and newly discovered vulnerabilities aggressively fixed.Įxtremely responsive developers and highly active support forum. Extension creators can do much more here, and the myriad of available extensions shine (that said with how good PM is I only need 1-3 of them). The extension technology is much more capable than that of Chrome (which is ruining ad-blocking one update at a time) and more capable than that of Firefox.
The developer tools are fully featured and here to stay. With Pale Moon your scroll bars and menu bars and the lot will all look as they should on your OS. I don't know how Firefox and Chrome/Chromium and clones get away with not honoring the system's theme. The user interface honors the system look & feel. For instance, disabling tabs is a simple setting click away. Customization removed from Firefox years and decades ago still remain in Pale Moon.
Pros: The user interface is almost infinity customizable.
