I Must Thank These Precious Souls!!

Post by ePono50 » 2025-02-22, 02:22

I needed to post a hearty "THANK YOU!!" to the Precious Souls behind this equally Precious project.
We thank you for your continued support of W7, IOHO one of the last usable Windoze releases.
And we thank you for providing [what we believe is] an Excellent alternative to the 'main stream' browsers out there.

I continue to pass the word on PM because there are a LOT of us still out here using this OS, and even {GASP] earlier ones.
It's been a literal God-send to us. I also use my own compiled version of 'ungoogled chromium'.
I have been supporting and will continue to do so, even if they stop producing W7 versions simply because they 100% deserve it.

As a former systems admin and 'ancient' Iron Worker' for 40+ years (mcp/mcse/A+ etc) I AM BLOWN AWAY
that every time I come across browser recommendations from various tech sites etc., there's rarely a mention of this Amazing browser.
I've looked in a LOT of forums and shockingly found the same thing. It's me that brings it up every single time. I find this crazy.
BTW, in all that time, I've never been hit with any bad stuff...without ANY AV or Anti-Malware. Gotta be some kind a Guinness Book record?
[I KNOW, AFTER WRITING THAT, NOW I'LL SURELY BE HIT] ;) :D

Of course people who still 'waltz' in our circles* already know, but it's the rest I try to educate.
* They'll have to pull W7 out of our cold dead keyboards.
And of course our people who use newer W10 et al, appreciate the alternative as well.

Anyway, we can't thank you enough for all you do and not taking the path most others have (upgrade/update or die?)**.
I also have an extensive network and still use (EGAD!) XP, Win2K3 Server and again [after over 23+ years away from Redhat 5.x] Linux.

** We've had it with this idea that somehow newer OS's with 100's of thousands (and now maybe over a million?) more lines of code
are somehow so much 'safer' than our older OS's. We believe this is, IOHO, quite ridiculous.*** We've proven as much over a LOT of years.
We believe it's more about the $$ and of course the control they have over our computer lives. This seems to us quite obvious.
*** Hasn't the gazillion crazy unpredictable windows updates proven this over and over again?!!


At any rate, bless these precious people who 'dare' to compete with the main browser offerings!! :)

Yeah, I know... I compiled my own 'ungoogled chromium' as well. Now I have to compile for Linux. Because later M$ OS's are rather like voodoo. ;)

I want to join that and also say a big THANK YOU to the Pale Moon team for their great work. :clap:

And, in addition, I want to show you the reason why I love Pale Moon so much. Because with Pale Moon I could easily customize a slender and clearly arranged browser interface.

Tell me YOUR reason why you keep using Pale Moon. Post it here.

I definitely wanna send my biggest thank you to the entire Pale Moon team for standing tall with this project and keeping it maintained.


I sincerely hope that Moonchild is reading these replies with a big grin on his face while he's sipping coffee. He deserves it, along with all of the developers (including the addon developers).
