I’m not talking about the selection in the navigation toolbar. Yes, there Pale Moon defaults to Duck Duck Go, which is OK but it isn’t much good for image searches.

But if you search from the Pale Moon default start page...

http://start.palemoon.org/

...you get Google, and if you don’t use a blocker, you get a bunch of Google ads.

Just as with Firefox (if you use the Firefox default start page).

The first thing I do with any browser is make it open with a blank page, but many people don’t bother with that.

If the Pale Moon folks really think DDG is the way to go, why didn’t they put it into the start page? Maybe DDG doesn’t pay like Google does.

I have nothing against Pale Moon as a product, in some ways it works better than Firefox and the price is the same.

I’m just not convinced that they’d be any more tolerant than Mozilla was if one of their people did something in violation of the standards of political correctness.

I don’t have a problem with subsidizing a free browser. I do have a problem with subsidizing an organization that pushed out someone for having conservative views. People who use firefox should know how mozilla is making money off their use so that they can shut off its revenue stream.

Pale Moon is produced by one guy. Read what he has to say about it: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4178
