Portable Pale Moon is a fully self-contained version of the open-source, Pale Moon web browser designed to run directly from a USB flash drive or external storage. It uses the Goanna layout engine (forked from Mozilla) and is optimized to keep your browsing data completely isolated from the host computer. Key Privacy & Operational Features
Zero Telemetry: Unlike modern mainstream browsers, Pale Moon features no telemetry, data gathering, or data-selling policies.
No Host Footprint: All history, bookmarks, passwords, and cache are saved directly on the USB drive, leaving no residual data on the host machine.
No DRM or AI Bloat: The browser intentionally strips out digital rights management (DRM) tracking hooks and artificial intelligence integrations to prioritize a lightweight, clean experience.
Granular Domain Permissions: Built-in tools let you toggle cookies, pop-ups, and location tracking on a per-site basis.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): Native integration alerts websites not to share or sell your browsing behavior. How to Set Up Portable Pale Moon on a USB Drive
Running Pale Moon from a USB stick is straightforward and does not require an installation client.
[Download File] ➔ [Extract to USB Folder] ➔ [Run palemoon-portable.exe]
Download: Grab the official zip package from the Pale Moon download portal.
Extract: Insert your USB drive, open the file, and extract the contents into a new folder on the drive.
Launch: Open the folder on your USB drive and look for palemoon-portable.exe. Do not run palemoon.exe directly, as the portable launcher executable ensures your data redirects safely to the flash drive instead of the host computer’s registry.
