Use Pale Moon as information manager
Posted: 2017-02-10, 10:13
Pale Moon is my default browser which I use on daily basis. But it's more than a browser - I use it as an information manager with the help of some Mozilla add-ons, especially the ScrapBook add-on (since 2005). This tutorial will be published in several parts. It will be a Work-In-Process. Part 1 ist about the add-ons and other programs I use with Pale Moon. In later parts I will give a more detailed description how every add-on works.
