WATERFOX

[viking33]

Just started trying out Waterfox, the 64 bit "version" of Firefox.
So far, so good. Seems like most or all of it's initial bugs have been worked out.
It overlays right over your existing Fx installation and can be reverted back to Fx if you want.

What's Waterfox all about?

Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. Waterfox is specifically for 64-bit systems, with one thing in mind: speed.

Features:

Compiled in Intel's C++ Compiler
Intel's Math Library

100% Extension Compatibility
64-bit Plugin Support
Future Proof!

Thanks, Bob!

I installed Wfx and it seems to be much faster than Fx - although I have only recently (within the last couple months) moved to Win7 on an Core i5 CPU; so everything is so much faster than the old P4 on XP that I might only be imagining the difference.
