Pale moon looks good to this OAP

Postby ukbrian » Sun Mar 02, 2014 10:37 pm

The availability of 64-bit systems to the regular user is fairly recent, even though they started to be developed in the 60′s, based on UNIX architecture. Microsoft released their first 64-bit operative system with Windows XP in 2001, but the true landmark came with Windows Vista. Not only was the OS itself more 64-bit oriented, but computers were also sold with improved components, more oriented to run 64-bit software. Windows 7 also boosted the usage of this computer architecture.

When I got through all the advantages of having a 64-bit operating system, I tried to improve the piece of software I use the most on my PC: my web browser. I’ve been a Firefox lover since my first contact with it, so it was a bit disappointing when I found there is not any 64-bit release of it. However, I found the (almost) perfect solution: Pale Moon, a Firefox clone which offers an improved and optimized version oriented for 64-bit systems.

The vision of Moonchild Productions is as multi-faceted as the individual behind it. One main driving force will always be quality of work - born from the principle that it is better to create something good and lasting than something that can be thrown away without a second thought. A second driving force is the release of works that are meant to improve quality of life, be it pleasing, providing efficiency, or promoting open communication.

FWIW, I've tried to evangelize refracta's tools in response to requests at various distro forums. Example:

Whoosh! They. just. don't. get. it.
puppy, porteus, bbq... it's sad to see 'em struggling to reinvent the wheel. Sadder yet to see 'dd' being recommended as a "solution".

MozillaZine: Third Party/Unofficial Builds
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=42

I would recommend any of the other recent firefox 3rd party builds (or change to using seamonkey) rather than palemoon.
In my book, the palemoon build provides comparatively minimal value... and its dev is an Egocentric Dick.

I tried seamonkey recently but it didn't last.

I just like the product. :D

Surely his addon http://www.palemoon.org/commander.shtml might be of use to skilled firefox users.
