Web browser with improved page loading speed which disables less-used features on the Firefox code.

This is the portable version of Pale Moon, a web browser that originally began development as a fork of Firefox but has since developed its own layout and rendering engine.

With support for themes and layout customization, it's quite possible to have the browser looking the way you want it. Furthermore, several options are available from the Preferences to set different levels of security by blocking addons, password management (protected by a master password), HSTS, HPKP and an optional do not track setting.

Pale Moon Porable supports the W3C Media Source Extensions and playback for MP4 and WebM video can be toggled.

All in all, Pale Moon is a solid web browser that's obviously been developed for not just speed but also stability.
