Using an efficient and highly customizable web browser is very important. High protection is increasingly necessary to travel on the Internet. We cannot trust what we find on some disreputable web pages, where they encourage us to download an application or tool. If we do, we will discover that what was promised was false, what was is not, and our computer is filled with malware.
Web browsers, some more and some less, offer some protection functions, but often they are not enough. Another issue to take into account when browsing is fluidity, getting the pages to load quickly.
Pale Moon, a particular clone of Mozilla Firefox
Do you use Mozilla Firefox as a web browser to travel the Internet? We all know that it is a high-performance application, but still there is the possibility of achieving more.
To do this, you have to resort to a clone, a copy prepared several years ago to get the most out of the processors implemented in current computers. This is Pale Moon , a browser that looks the same as Firefox that supports the same extensions, themes and identities, of which a new version has just been released recently. The project behind this tool is open source.

To consider
Those responsible for this application tell us the following about it:
« This browser, while quite similar to Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey in the way it works, is based on a different (forked) layout engine and offers a different set of features. Its goal is to provide close adherence to a balanced set of common-sense official web standards and specifications in its implementation (with minimal compromise), and deliberately excludes a number of web APIs and features to strike a balance between general use, performance and technical advances on the Web .”
Access and more…
Pale Moon ‘s code is based on Firefox’s, offering the same levels of security. For performance reasons, parental controls and certain accessibility features have been disabled.
To get the application you must access Pale Moon . It works on the latest versions of Windows and on Linux. There is also a portable application of the program, valid to take with you on a USB disk. It is also possible to download the language pack for Spanish, among other possible ones.
