We need your help!
Operating the Pale Moon servers, sites, domains, and getting certificates, code signing and more isn't free (or cheap).
Unfortunately there has been a pretty sharp downward trend in what DuckDuckGo's search partnership provides to the project, so now more than ever, we rely heavily on your generous contributions and donations.

If you find Pale Moon in any way useful, please consider one or more of the following options to help out:
  1. Donating to the project directly through PayPal or Ko-fi.
  2. Purchasing challenge coins.
  3. Setting your search engine to the included DuckDuckGo and disabling your ad blocker on the DuckDuckGo domain (so they can show sponsored results).

Doing so will go a long way to make sure we can stay afloat and independent! In addition, Moonchild would still like to pay rent and eat ;)

Google Chrome forces you to change User Agent to Chrome so that YouTube works without lag.

Please take note of Rule 7a in our forum rules.

If you want to link an article, at the very least provide a synopsis of the article and/or why it may be relevant. Don't just dump a link that mods then have to check for validity/safety without any additional information.
Did you know that moral outrage triggers the pleasure centers of the brain? It's unlikely you can actually get addicted to outrage, but there is plausible evidence that you can become strongly predisposed to it.

I'm not having any problems speed wise on YouTube with regards to Pale Moon when viewing videos.

gHacks posted an article on this today. Its purpose is to fix the speed problems on YouTube (not just for PM, but also other browsers), and it also seems to bypass anti-adblock.
1) Activate the uBlock Origin icon in your browser.
2) Select the dashboard button to open the Preferences.
3) Switch to My Filters.
4) Paste the following line into the text field: www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)
5) Select "apply changes".

I watch YouTube videos pretty regularly using Palemoon and, and I have uBlock Origin installed. I have not noticed any problems.
