Waterfox

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Waterfox

Post by buzzmong »

Has anyone heard/tried Waterfox?

Seems to be a 64-bit offshoot for Firefox done by a third-party. Seems to be up to date so I might try it out to see if it is indeed, quicker as they claim it to be.

I wonder how this compares to Pale Moon. They both seem to be Windows optimized Firefox builds, though Pale Moon is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit.

I have used Pale Moon before and it was pretty good. I haven't used it since Firefox 5 came out though.

Looks very cool, good to see I won't have to import all my settings and bookmarks, and loose out of my extensions. Having a quick blast and it does seem very quick.

Has anyone else been using this? It does seem quicker than Firefox marginally but it does still seem to suffer from the high RAM usage...

Oh and it doesn't work with the b33f browser.

I've found Chrome to be better than FFX for b33f (That said it's the only thing I use it for)
