Just saying "Hi" and glad I found Pale Moon
Hi all, new here (but not new to forums )
Came across Pale Moon by accident, but glad I did. I've been using it now (and customising it) for a good few hours and I like it, especially it's light impact on system resources , plus of course the security and privacy it offers of course
I am a retired computer technician (in the middle of the UK), but I still do work for local domestic and small business customers. I use Linux (currently Mint 18.3 "Mate") almost exclusively and I get as many of my customers on Linux Mint as I can. So far, it looks like I will be including Pale Moon on all my customers Linux builds and likely set it as the default browser

Welcome to the Pale Moon community.
Out of curiosity, what were your reasons for choosing Mint over Ubuntu? I'm contemplating going back to Linux for a variety of reasons, but it's been over a decade since I ran Linux on my desktop (Ubuntu and then Arch, but I would like to spend less time of tweaking and fiddling this time around) and I'm a bit out of the loop.

Ubuntu is believed to have amazon adware(dare i say spyware) installed.Ubuntu is a bit of a bloated crap these days .I use linux lite which has been solid for years.

"Is believed"? So some people think it has spyware, and some don't ? I use Ubuntu, and I find this disturbing.Moonraker wrote:Ubuntu is believed to have amazon adware(dare i say spyware) installed.
Frankly, I am very pleased with Ubuntu.

I think spyware is too strong a word as i dont think mark shuttleworth would allow anything like that in ubuntu.I use a buntu offshoot linux lite and its been very stable for years.

I dug a bit around and found this article at eff.org. How relevant this is for current versions, I don't know.gracious1 wrote:"Is believed"? So some people think it has spyware, and some don't ? I use Ubuntu, and I find this disturbing.

Hi all
I use Linux Mint rather than Ubuntu because, for my "end user customers", I find the Mint menu system to be more easily adapted to when users are familiar with Windoze 7 / Vista style menus (I mean, lets not even talk about Windoze 8 / 10 "tiled" style menus ).
The Mint "Mate" desktop environment is easier on system resources, esp the graphics card. Works well for me and my customers
And, from now on, Pale Moon will be the default browser in my builds (but Chrome will still be there "just in case").
