I agree, Moonchild Productions may want to consider paying a little attention to Linux users. My main reason for switching was because of S/M & FF both crashing every 5 minutes. Palemoon has crashed 3 or 4 times over the last 3 days. I'm gonna suggest they might want to browse around a bit on the best forum on the internet!musher0 wrote:Hello, Puppy-ists!
If you'd like a start page for Pale Moon that doesn't use the Google
search engine -- with its analytics and spying stuff, here's one!
I've replaced the Google URL with StartPage, so the search results should
be pretty much the same. I also substituted the WhineDose thumbnail
with Softpedia's, and then added a thumnbnail for DistroWatch at the
bottom. I didn't touch anything else. I understand that the people at Pale
Moon probably want the info and the advertising "royalties" from Google,
but...

As you may not know, newer versions of PaleMoon (newer in the sense of "after
this thread was initiated") are for 64-bit computers only. It may account for your
troubles.
As for me, I'm hanging on to my old opera-14.16, and switching to either the
surprisingly versatile links2 or firefox when opera cannot display a webpage
properly.
Since I have no money at present to buy a reasonably powerful 64-bit desktop,
I've decided to boycott PaleMoon -- AND Vivaldi, for the same reason.
Bye for now.
