Why settle for a basic build of your Firefox browser on the 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. Pale Moon is a custom built and optimized Firefox-based browser.
Now, you've enjoyed Pale Moon at home, or at the office. You've wondered if you could use it elsewhere: in a library, on a public computer, in a cybercafé... You need something portable, that is as simple as plugging in your USB stick and running your favourite browser, with all your bookmarks and passwords at your fingertips?
