Download.com mentions Pale Moon

Post by fred8615 » 2014-12-11, 22:01

It's in an article about alternative web browsers:

http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57 ... ntent;main

Interesting thing thing though; the link goes to the download page, and it says the publisher is RedCoffeeStudio?? And the publisher web site is not palemoon.org, but http://www.games4free.info. It looks like somebody else is taking credit for Moonchild's work. And maybe putting who knows what in the program too.

BTW, they have the 25.0 version, not 25.1.

Yeah, it truly seems that some third party group is hijacking Pale Moon for their own reasons.... Which is quite an unpleasant and unacceptable thing!

This does need to be delt with. However, least it isn't an altered installer. The digital signature checks out.
How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory?
Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come.

Looks like Moonchild's C&D got someone's attention real quick. ;)
