So how much faster can the browser be? That's a tricky question, as performance varies greatly depending on what's being tested. Pale Moon, though, is optimised to take full advantage of modern processors, and this can give it a huge advantage over Firefox in some areas. In particular, Firefox is compiled with the most conservative of settings, to ensure that it'll run on even ancient CPUs.

And Pale Moon also drops support for Internet Explorer's ActiveX and ActiveX scripting technology, which also offers a security benefit as it means the browser can't be infected by malicious ActiveX controls. The crash report has also been stripped out, as it's designed to work with server-side technology that isn't available on. The program has been made more lightweight, for instance, by stripping out little-used components like the accessibility features, and the parental controls. Pale Moon is also able to import existing Firefox profiles with the migration tool.Pale Moon is a customised version of Firefox, which has been carefully optimised for speed and efficiency. Some additional features include fast page drawing and script processing, increased stability, Firefox, and Pale Moon extensions, support for HTML5 and CSS3, and many configuration options. Other support includes full themes and easily-created lightweight themes. Pale Moon is optimized for modern processors, safe, and is supported by a friendly, active community of users. It is also essential to point out that this browser doesn't contain Adobe Flash Player, which will be needed when viewing some websites this will require you to install it separately. The developers decided that several features needed to be eliminated to keep the browser running fast, such as accessibility features and parental controls. It supports most of the Firefox add-ons and themes that you have come to enjoy as well as many that are native to Pale Moon itself. It is essentially an optimized version of Mozilla's browser that retains Firefox's stability and reliability while providing a familiar, efficient, and fully customizable interface. Pale Moon is a fast and stable Open Source alternative to the standard Firefox browser.
