Pale Moon isn't vulnerable to Meltdown & Spectre:

Pale Moon already set the granularity for the performance timers sufficiently coarse in Oct 2016 when it became clear that this could be used to perform hardware-timing based attacks and fingerprinting.
Pale Moon also, by design, doesn't allow buffer memory to be shared between threads in JavaScript, so the "SharedArrayBuffer" attack is not possible.

A Pale Moon version optimized for use on Windows XP and Intel Atom processors was also available until Pale Moon 27.
Now that branch has been discontinued and it will not receive other updates :(

Old UI

This app uses the UI from an old version. I think the UI just seems outdated now.

I agree the default UI seems old, but there are nice themes to customize it.

I really like Australium, which makes the browser look like the current Firefox style, and Material Moon, for who likes a Chrome-like UI :)

You can find them at http://addons.palemoon.org/themes/

Exactly. Just snag a theme and it's perfect... actually, more perfect ^ _ ^

An old UI doesn't mean bad.

In contrast to Firefox' Australis (or even Google Chrome), the UI of Pale Moon is more customizable.
