(Since the average Puppy is around 250-300 MB, packed, and around 800-900 MB, 'loaded', this is easily achievable even by elderly hardware.)Īt shutdown, it will save any changes to personal configurations, system configs, customizations, etc., to what's known as a 'save-file' or 'save-folder'. The OS then runs in RAM for the duration of the session. At boot, it initializes a 'virtual, aufs union-layered file-system' in RAM, into which it copies the contents of compressed, read-only SFS (squash file system) packages.
Unlike other 'mainstream' distros, which perform a standard, 'full' install, Puppy uses what's known as the 'frugal' install. Pup's is a 'special', and very unique, use-case. There's 'method in the madness', as far as we're concerned. We run a lot of browsers as 'portables' in the Puppy Linux community. Not what somebody else (in their perceived 'wisdom'), thinks you should do. The endless possibilities for customization, and setting stuff up to run, and do, exactly what you want it to do. Nonetheless Pale Moon has a fairly stout offering of extensions, especially compared to other alternative browsers when considering Pale Moon is not merely a clone, using the same extensions as Firefox or Chrome.Well, y'know, this is what I love about Linux. Pentadactyl registers an error (as of Pale Moon 31.1.1) when attempting to install it from Pale Moon’s website but can be installed from a file if compiled from source. For instance, uBlock Origin is listed at but must be installed from github. Unfortunately, some of the extensions listed on the website do not work, but in addition to those there are some that can be downloaded from other sources. The add-on eco-system is not quite as healthy when it comes to Pale Moon but it does offer extensions and provides an add-on database from which to download them. In fact Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox the two deviated from one another a dozen years ago, and Pale Moon has more closely kept the feel of Firefox from that time than Firefox itself has done. Pale Moon is an excellent Firefox-like browser, reminiscent of “old firefox,” a la “stratus”, a pre-australis GUI style. Pale Moon, a Web Browser with a Retro Vibe
