General Discussion • Re: Pale Moon's PR Problem
In the meantime, I've changed the Pale Moon home page's wording a bit to put focus on a few things discussed here. I'm not entirely happy with the result so it probably needs some more tinkering or moving around of information, but it now leans a bit more heavily on the independence factor and single-process security is explicitly highlighted.
That's beautiful, I'm loving it! Any way to add a one-liner near the top to emphasize your being located in Europe and the servers being located in Europe (if accurate)? And/or some of the other Pale Moon developers being located in Europe? It's a really big deal these days. Anti-American big tech bias is ripping through your continent like a wildfire.
This stuff is soooo so good - may need to do a press release with this kind of great material:
Safe and secure independence Pale Moon is built from its own independently developed source and is regularly updated with the latest security patches. The browser also offers additional security features like a clear indication of a site's identity and security level, and prioritizes security awareness with many defense-in-depth considerations aside from addressing any applicable vulnerabilities (CVEs) on a regular basis.
Secure by design and lightweight By keeping everything in a single process, Pale Moon keeps a close eye on data security without exposing browser internals to the operating system. In contrast to multi-process browsers, it does not have to wrap every internal operation into a fragile messaging system to send to other processes, which has been a major attack surface for well-known browsers for years now. This also means Pale Moon is lightweight and doesn't use nearly as many system resources, or fill up your task manager with dozens of copies of itself.
True privacy with zero telemetry At Pale Moon, privacy considerations will always remain at the forefront. This is why we have chosen to be fully community-supported and the browser does not contain any ads, telemetry or data-gathering. There is no DRM or A.I. integration in the browser and it does not spy on you or your browsing habits. You are not for sale. This extends to our deliberate choices for default search engine (DuckDuckGo), Geolocation (IP-API), and start page (start.me, but freely configurable to anything you like). We deliberately avoid inclusion of Big Tech services and if we can offer something in-house, we will.
