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

Been using it since this thread was posted. I've not found any real noticeable differences to regular Firefox, but I've not had any problems with it either.

I too have been using it since my post. I cannot say I've notice a difference either. I haven't botherd to do any tests yet.

The fact the it installed so simply and retained all settings and addons is the main reason I am using it.

Currently downloading at 108kb/s. Hurray for irony!

Paft · 01-22-2012, 07:50 PM

500kb/s for me.

It definitely renders pages faster.
