old version of firefox for windows 10 one before quantum

Basilisk is a fork of newer Firefox code, but stripped from the new Servo and Rust codes, which make Firefox Quantum so fast. Pale Moon’s creator created another browser, based on newer code. We can’t really be surprised with such a position after reviewing the results.īottom line, there’s no reason why you’d want to use Pale Moon. Pale Moon performs worse than other Firefox forks in several browser benchmarks, even though Pale Moon’s developer disagrees with such tools. We’re comparing a team of thousands of employees (Mozilla) to a one-man working crew (Pale Moon). They are, after all, working with old, outdated and no longer supported code. There are no advantages to that particular rendering engine fork.Įven though Pale Moon has constant security updates, patching security holes is way harder for their developers.

Gecko is Mozilla’s proprietary rendering engine, and what most Firefox forks use. Goanna is an open-source browser engine, and a Gecko fork.

Pale Moon is based on Goanna rendering engine.

There are certain types of videos (the ones with DRM) that you just won’t be able to watch on Pale Moon. Pale Moon doesn’t have any of the new Firefox features, nor performance improvements.

As you can see per the screenshot, due to being based on ancient code, Pale Moon still uses the old Firefox interface, before Australis themes were a thing.Īt least Waterfox is based on newer versions of Firefox.
