Pale Moon is a free, open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox. It uses its own browser engine, Goanna, which is a fork of Mozilla's Gecko engine. It is optimized to run especially well with Intel Atom processors, which are typically found in lower-end devices.https://www.ghacks.net/2014/01/28/pale-moon-24-3-introduces-intel-atom-optimized-builds/ It is sometimes used as an alternative to Mozilla Firefox because of preference, or political or religion-based boycott of Firefox.
