Trying the Pale Moon browser as a web browsing option (Windows 64-bit)
I have been using Firefox for web browsing since I bought my old computer 8 years ago.
After I bought new one, I installed and set up as the regular browser.
At fast I enjoy the speed of my new computer, but after several month passed, delays were frequently seen and by checking the task manager, I found that memory use was over 1500 megabytes in an hour after I launched the browser. Maybe opening around twenty tabs is one reason for this huge memory use.
Viewing the task manager, a description drew my eyes. "Firefox (32-bit)". I wondered if there is any 64-bit Firefox or other browser option. Internet Explorer is like a built-in browser, but I'm so used to the user interfaces of Firefox or Google Chrome, that I don't feel like go back to the Internet Explorer.
There are a few 64-bit Firefox clones available, but I was afraid that they may override my current Firefox, so I chose "Pale Moon",which you can run independently of your Firefox although it is another Firefox clone and optimized with Windows, let alone 64 bit version available, for an alternative browser.
With a few password setting, the browser run as comfortably as or more comfortably than in a few occasions. It also doesn't show the problem of delay or huge memory use when I open 16 tabs on my browser window.
There are some inconvenience of localization like I haven't found the way set Yahoo! Japan as my default search engine as set on my Firefox, I'm satisfied with the performance of the browser, and the difference of location of user interface buttons like reload.
Pale Moon is now becoming my main browser over Firefox.
