Pale Moon vs Lynx

"Classic" Firefox add-ons can work, but they are not supported and should be updated or forked to become a Pale Moon add-on.

Pale Moon is an independent fork of an older version of Firefox. Therefore, it is independent from Mozilla and are not affected by their terrible decisions such as removing XUL, adding telemetry, pocket, etc.

Contains much less spyware than Chrome and Firefox and all of it can easily be disabled.

So we can verify that the browser is not spyware.

Pale Moon supports complete themes, something which Firefox used to have before version 57.

Pale Moon supports your GTK theme while Firefox does not.

Unlike most other browsers, Pale Moon uses its custom engine.

It isn't controlled by Google nor Mozilla, has its own engine.

Being a text-only browser that runs inside the terminal makes Lynx very lightweight and minimal since it doesn't need much resources to run and too many things to render (pictures, videos etc...).

Since lynx does not load images or any graphical content (just like crawlers) one of these could be to test their website and see how search engine crawlers 'see' each page. Lynx can be used by web developers to test their websites for different reasons and applications.

Since lynx is a command line application, it might not be for every one. But for the curious it is a must-have tool. Have a conky? And you want some specific info in there that really matters to you? Well, let lynx to scrap it (anonymously) of the web for you. Stock quotes and exchange rates every couple of minutes in your conky? Sure you can! Just create your custom bash script to let lynx scrap it of the page of your choice and let it work with sed, grep and awk for example. What do you have to loose? ;)

In case the UI, graphics driver or shell crashes you can still use lynx.
