  I don't use any of them, so I can't do a comparison.  BTW, Iceweasel
is no more https://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel

  Pale Moon is an independant fork of Firefox.  It was based on Firefox
code as a starting point but is going its own way; e.g. no
Atrocious^H^H^H^H^H^H Austraulis UI.  That was what drove me away from
it.  I've always customised the menus for maximum usable screen space,
plus text (not icons) for the menu.

  I wasn't initially concerned when that version of Firefox showed up.
What shocked me was the fact that Firefox removed the ability to
customize the UI to the "classic" look.  They must've realized that
people would hate Austraulis.  Soon, the most-downloaded addons were
"classic UI restorer" addons.

  I switched to Sea Monkey for a while, and eventually to Pale Moon.
