It looks to be an open-source browser. Does it have limitations? Will certain add-ons be deactivated? Anyone have a down&dirty review?

Started using it earlier this year as an alternative to Firefox. Seems like a perfectly good substitute to me.

I switched from Firefox and found it less buggy than Firefox.

I switched also when we heard about the bad news for their CEO. But I had to reverse to FF because Pale Moon has an older version of FF and I could install Firebug which is important for me. Otherwise, if you don’t need Firebug for developers then no problem - it is a true duplicate of Firefox. Just not updated.

I use it as an alternative to Firefox, it does crash more often than I like but otherwise it is acceptable and I like it better than Opera and some others I tried.

I switched. The main "Pro" is that by switching you hurt the market share of Firefox, that Gaystapo supporting organization.
In operation it appears to work just like FireFox. The only annoying difference is that when you open a new tab it appears at the end of all your open tabs instead of right next to where you opened it from.
Other than that, there is a migration tool that will let you copy all your settings from an existing FireFox browser.
That's all I can think of to tell you.

Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox. Someone took it and improved it, because open-source is cool like that. I like Pale Moon a lot. I don’t really miss Firefox, even though it has the same guts.
CON: I don’t think Ad Blocker Plus works with Pale Moon for some reason.
PRO: Stick it to Google and Mozilla. (Duck Duck Go is my default search engine)

Pale Moon worked great for me when I had Windows XP. Soon as I switched to Windows 8.1 I stopped using it because it was so buggy.

and download Chromium instead of Chrome too.
