Pale Moon is an open-source, Mozilla-based web browser that can be used as an alternative to the most popular Internet browsers. It has a very attractive and useful startup page, with shortcuts to the most commonly used websites. Those shortcuts are sorted out by categories. For example, the social media category includes shortcuts to sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on, while the E-mail category shows shortcuts to Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and others. This is a very convenient feature, and you can customize each category to include those sites most visited for you, or delete those that you don't use.
You can further customize the browser by adding extensions and add-ons. Although the program has many add-ons of its own, those of Firefox are also compatible with it, so if you can't find an add-on that suits your needs at the Pale Moon site, you can search it at Firefox's.
An advantage is that, unlike MS Edge and Chrome, this browser is compatible with Java, since there are many websites that still use this platform. Also, the program's default search engine is DuckDuckGo, a less-known engine whose advantage is that it does not track your searches.
To sum up, it is a good browser that can be used as an alternative to Firefox, Chrome, Explorer and other common programs. You may want to try it.
v24.7 [Jul 29, 2014]
24.7.1 (2014-08-06)
This is a bugfix release for some outstanding issues in 24.7.0.
Fixes/changes:
- Fixed a text rendering issue with the new back-end on overdraw layers when hardware acceleration is in use on Windows. This may also solve some additional small issues in the user interface that weren't present before 24.7.0.
- Fixed the use of Google Maps.
If you previously used the workaround in 24.7, then please remove the user-set preference (right-click -> reset).
I have been using Epic Privacy Browser for a few months now and I must say that I am really impressed
