\"palemoon-ico\"<\/a> [Windows Only<\/em>] What is Pale Moon? It\u2019s an open source project that takes the Firefox web browser code and recompiles it to run faster in Windows.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the author says about it:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy settle for a basic build of your Firefox browser on Windows Operating Systems when you can have one that performs 25% faster? Mozilla does not provide optimized browser packages for Windows, while many Linux users get the advantage of a browser built specifically for their system. That needs to change! So, here is the Pale Moon project: Custom-built and optimized Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems.<\/small><\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

I have been using Pale Moon for a few days now, and I did notice a performance boost in comparison with my usual Firefox installs. I would have to say that Pale Moon is a winner.<\/p>\n

There are no drastic differences other than the name. All of your old addons should continue to work. You\u2019ll just get around the web a little faster. The author of Pale Moon claims that only real differences are that it doesn\u2019t support the accessibility features or parental controls. Since I don\u2019t use either one, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m missing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even a Pale Moon persona (theme) available on the home page that makes it look very cool.<\/p>\n

Download and try Pale Moon<\/a><\/p>\n

Techie Buzz Verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only major drawback to using Pale Moon is that it may sometimes be a release or two behind Mozilla Firefox. Other than that, there\u2019s not much difference from what I can tell. I can\u2019t think of a good reason why I shouldn\u2019t recommend it for every Firefox user running Windows.<\/p>\n
