Though obviously very similar to Firefox, Pale Moon stands alone in its own right.
The attention given to the thoughts and ideas of actual everyday users truly allows for Pale Moon to be a community web browser. The forum initiates conversations to receive community input and conducts polls which include users in the development process of future updates. Pale Moon differs from other web browsers in that it focuses on features and functions that are actually desired and not those that are incorporated in other web browser simply for the sake of competition. The program is updated regularly and supports CSS3 and HTML5. The default search engine is not Google or Yahoo, but rather DuckDuckGo and geolocation functions are not left to Google either, instead utilizing IP-API. Cooperation with allows for the start page to be personalized and users are able to create their own themes.
A perk for current Firefox users is that all bookmarks, settings and extensions are imported upon installation of the program. Pale Moon is compatible with several plugins and extensions of Firefox and has several exclusive extensions of its own, for example, Adblock Latitude.
