Thanks for making Pale Moon. After 19 years, I've dumped Firefox since finding it now humps Google and Amazon's leg:

Pale Moon is the only decent open source browser I could find that doesn't contain spyware.

Also, I think not allowing redistribution of modified code while retaining the name Pale Moon is a very good policy. Allowing modified code under the same name is a great way to make a product a headache to use, which is like 95% of FOSS products in my experience.

I've just registered to give my thanks to the developers for such a wonderful browser. I've been using Pale Moon full time since the Firefox Australis controversy back in 2013. I HATE it when developers think they know best and change the UI.

I'm using the same browser layout as I did back when I was using Windows XP (I moved to Windows 7 in 2014 when I built my present PC) I have no desire to 'downgrade' to 10, 11 and especially 'windows as a service' when it comes out), so I hope you continue letting us run Pale Moon on win 7, unlike other browsers.

The latest version of Pale Moon (32.3.1) is especially stable for me - sometimes I can have as many as 300 active tabs open in multiple windows across multiple monitors when I'm doing research. Nice to see more efficient memory usage as well, Pale Moon used to crash when it got over about 4GB memory, but now it doesn't!

The developers don't get as much thanks as they should for all the time and effort they put in to continued development, so I just wanted to say that all the work you do is very much appreciated.

Ali.
