I've been using Pale Moon for the longest time (3 years?)

Since benchmarks mean nothing to me (what difference does a thousandth of a nanosecond make to the average user?), I can tell you that Pale Moon loads up the moment you double click on it.

Had chrome hanging up my system again -> installed Pale Moon thanks to this thread -> everything so silky smooth. I won't ever look back.
Oh guys, use that [ url ][ img ][ /img ][ /url ] :/

Well, I just downloaded it today. I imported my bookmarks and settings from Firefox, tinkered with the tabbed browsing settings a little, and so far it's performing wonderfully. I don't see any real need to go back to FF.

Re: The Pale Moon browser, and/or *****ing about Firefox
Pale moon looks to be a great browser. However with them compiling all of this for windows, i'm left surprised with no binaries for linux. This i thought was awkward since they are an opensource project compiling straight up from open source code. The developers probably just want to keep things simple focusing on windows only for now (i do commend their developers for releasing for different processor architectures on windows versus the one executable for them all).

Doing a little more research, it seems that the pale moon community is enthusiastic about the idea of anyone compiling binaries for linux for testing. Other pale moon users recommended just to run pale moon under wine. I don't need to switch to a different browser that badly; native os integration definitely helps in the area of browsers (for example: i don't want to have to install the windows version of flash under wine for youtube). I would like to switch browsers myself.

I am still looking for something that has standard features, and is simple. I immediately tried out midori. Midori is awesome, but i dumped it returning to firefox. Midori was noticeably slower than firefox, a great deal slower in its current iteration (i really hope midori got that fixed; i thought it was great enough to switch to). Pale moon on the other hand sounds great. But, i'll muck around with it when it gets compiled for linux.

Re: The Pale Moon browser, and/or *****ing about Firefox
It's funny...I'm the one who posted this thread in the first place, and I installed Pale Moon several weeks ago, but I'm such a creature of habit that it took me until today to finally start using it as my daily browser. :p
