I’ve been using PaleMoon with regularity since another FReeper recommended it (among many).
Unfortunately, my experience with it is as bad as Firefox: It’s a memory hog that crashes with the same regularity as IE (I even reverted to an earlier IE, but no joy). Plugin problems with PM and FF as well.
Opera was just loaded tonight; after a couple of hours, so far I’m very impressed.
The MAIN impressive thing here: My antivirus is running a full scheduled scan in the background and the browser isn’t crashing. (I just checked my cpu performance and was surprised to see it running, as in the past I had to either stop it or stay offline until it was done).
I’ll find out in the next couple days if it works with all our vendor sites...

Do you use Flashblock or NoScript with Firefox?
Opera doesn’t seem to support bookmarks, and I have hundreds I’d prefer not to lose. Neither Palemoon nor Firefox have ever crashed on my computer while running a full scan with Malwarebyte.
I use ESET NOD32 antivirus and have no memory hogging problems on my computer.
Also haven’t had a virus infect my computer and not be found, quarantined or cleaned since around 2005.
Running Win 7 (64-bit), 6GB or RAM.
