PaleMoon Browser: Manage Multiple Account Profiles, User Agents, Evade Fingerprinting

I've been looking for an alternative to Mozilla Firefox (it gets more and more bloated with each update), and MultiLogin doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.

I came across PaleMoon and it's literally the perfect browser for SEO persona management. I've shifted all my profiles to SafeMoon. Some things I like about it:

1. Profile Management - comparable to Firefox. This means I can easily containerise different account profiles, each with it's own history, bookmarks, cookies

2. "Secret Agent" plugin for spoofing everything - - referers, useragent, etags, one free plugin to rule them all

3. FoxyProxy STILL WORKS I haven't used FoxyFroxy in years, it used to be my favourite proxy management plugin - - great to see it's alive and well on PaleMoon

4. UOrigin for adblocks - - an "always on" plugin I've been using on FF for years

5. CanvasBlocker - - because this is seems to be the current favourite method for sites to detect users

For newbs trying to figure out the most cost-effective way to get basic 'resist fingerprinting' on their browser and run multiple accounts, or if you're just tired of Firefox's gradual (inevitable) Chrome-ification, check out PaleMoon browser. It's ugly as sin, minimalist, and low on system resources, like every good application ought to be.

Hope this helps

Never heard that browser, with all what I read looks good. Will give a try thanks for sharing.

I was using PM on my linux desktop many years ago (3-4, maybe more?) because I wanted a private (fingerprint-free) browser, but I recall having many issues with it at that time. Don't ask me what kind of issues because I don't remember, but I do remember that I tried using it for a whole week and every day some new errors had popped up... not to mention that it's indeed ugly and basic.

I don't mind the ugliness, though... or the basicness, but I do want it to just work without me having to learn how to code in order to fix it. And speaking of fixing it myself I remember that the support for it had been VERY limited at that time, basically it was just one guy (the developer) and he was having his own private life back then and he wasn't being available for weeks sometimes, which is one of the reasons I have stopped using PaleMoon.

But I do genuinely want this browser to succeed in hiding all of my private data and stopping tracking my internet activity, but I don't think it does that

Anyway, had PM been fixed? And is the support better? Or does it still carry these issues?

Yes and no. It has issues for sure, but it suits the specific purpose I want it for (low memory footprint, very configurable and stripped-down).

The support forum...well, the developers could use some social skills and "crucial conversations" training, their default response to any query is less than positive lol. At the same time, they are developers, and it's refreshing to see them talking about actual technical decisions instead of social responsibility and politics (ie Mozilla these days).

Honestly, I would NOT recommend this as a primary browser - - I still use firefox and chrome for that. I'm using this as a Multilogin substitute for client accounts, for managing cookies, warming up accounts etc. It's single process and very low on memory so you can run many instances of this quite easily.

For fingerprints, I use a combination of this plugin:
https://www.dephormation.org.uk/?page=81
for UA, accept headers, etags, X-Forwarded-For/Via headers

and this one
https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/canvasblocker-legacy/
for canvas random number fake readout, window API, DOMRect API and audioAPI

and I just edit the about:config for webGL, geolocation etc
It also allows easy configuration for per-site user agents (very useful for FB, IG, Twitter)

The only fingerprint I'm having trouble with spoofing is the javascript screen object resolution.

My coding knowledge is pretty basic, so I guess if I'm able to tackle this, anyone at the same level wouldn't have issues. It's not an easy-to-use browser for sure, I just like how configurable it is.

Not sure you can hide enough of each profile with this, although it's relatively well configurable for each profile, I feel it's a huge hassle
For example, forget about resolution spoofing, default font spoofing, or almost anything spoofing related. Surely you are leaving a good fingerprint.
Also I like to have, know and see all the spoofing options just in one screen, just to check them manually, or set them at random, something that you cannot do with Palemoon

Pale moon reminds me, when I used to have like 10+ portable Opera Browsers. I used to spend a lot of time doing all switching and configuration, everytime my accounts were banned and have to restore new ones

Have you tried Incogniton?

Fair point, if I had to configure them manually I'd tear my hair out, since I have 1k+ accounts (for social media bots etc - - yeah my appdata folder for the browser is 100+ GB). I do the plugin configuration with AutoIT, it can configure settings for all my profiles in 3-4 hrs.
Yeah, font fingerprint and screen resolution are definitely unresolved. No I haven't tried Incognition, does it simplify browser fingerprint switches?

Quick update, I realised I don't need the Canvas plugin, PaleMoon has an inbuilt Canvas spoofer. Tested it with browser leaks.

are you still using palemoon or did you switch to incogniton? I'v been researching very hard for a solution to manage a few dozen accounts...is palemoon suitable for that?
