Custom Built and optimized Firefox-based browsers for Windows Operating Systems
Quote:
Mozilla does not provide optimized browser packages for Windows, meaning you may be losing speed and efficiency when you use your browser; and truth be told, most people use their browsers all the time! That needs to change, so, here is the Pale Moon project: Custom-built and optimized Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems. Make sure to get the most speed and efficiency out of your browser!
And also 'optimised' to the point that it doesn't run on an Athlon of some vintage.
They've decided what they want to do with Firefox code base, and they've done it. It doesn't happen to be anything that I'm interested in (and, potentially, not what many LQ people are interested in, for obvious reasons). So my reaction is primarily 'So what, maybe tell me if someone decides to do a Linux(/BSD) optimised version, or an arch-specifc Linux build (and I'm still not sure that this would be something worthwhile, but maybe they have a point with SSE, perhaps) or something'.
And also 'optimised' to the point that it doesn't run on an Athlon of some vintage.
I hadnt actually noticed that, nice catch.
Though from what they say on the palemoon site it looks they never supported 'original' athlons, and the athlon XPs only work up to version 3 (and currently pale moon is at version 6). Thats all the 32bit athons.

Reason: missing '.'
Debian has iceweasle ... I used it for awhile, But it didn't impress me that much. I'm fine sticking with Firefox and Chrome for fancy extensions/addons and opera or midori for lightweight speed.
