The aforementioned are the most popular forks of Firefox and well, they do have their differences with each other but I want to ask... which is better? And why?
For those that don't know what they are or know very little about them, let me explain a bit of them each.
Firstly, Pale Moon is based on a much older version of Firefox and obviously would have its limitations but that doesn't stop it from being popular amongst the few. It uses far less RAM than Firefox and some of the latest add-ons work for it well, including the much-loved uBlock Origin. However, it cannot support anything made with the Jetpack/SDK language such as the Gmail Notifier. One other limitation it long had was no private browsing until that was recently introduced for version 28, and with this a major milestone for the browser as a whole too. Next is Waterfox which I've only heard about recently and from further research on it, it's just like Firefox ESR only that it is offered as 64-bit only and shockingly, slower security updates.
So now, let's discuss about those two and see who really is the victor (and this can also help me decide which one shall I switch to in the near future, because frankly I don't wish to use Firefox 60 ESR if I can help it).
