No More Mozilla

It's a shame that Mozilla is a bunch of fascists.  I have been running Firefox for most of this century -- which sounds odd to say.  I won't use Chrome, though it is a good browser.  I keep Opera around, but I just don't like the feel of it.

So, I downloaded Pale Moon and installed it on this W7 machine.  I had to run a little app, pmmig.exe to get all of my Firefox profile over, but once I did that, the only real difference between Pale Moon and Firefox is that Pale Moon seems faster.

Firefox is off my computer for the first time since v1.5 -- nearly a decade ago.  It's kind of sad, like when your horse breaks his leg and you have to put him out of his misery.

Updated to add Brendan's link to the perversion of Safari for Win-ders.

  1. It might sound like heresy but you can also get a version of Safari for Windows:

    I'm equally appalled over Mozilla's actions. What they did to Brendan Eich was craven and shameful.

  2. Thanks, Brendan.

    One of my wife's cousins is a homosexual man. We have been friends for 35 years, and we were talking a couple of nights ago. I know that he finds this disturbing as well. In fact, there is a lot of that from the gay community. It's an attack on everybody's freedom.

    Safari for Windows -- I almost want to do that just because it's so weird.
