Tristar Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Waterfox is a Faster, 64-Bit Optimized Version of Firefox for Windows PCs If you'd like your web browser to run a bit faster, Waterfox is a Firefox clone built to run faster on 64-bit processors. Mozilla still hasn't officially released any 64-bit builds for Firefox, and Waterfox aims to fill that void. It has one main goal: speed. They've tweaked a lot of Firefox's codebase to work better with 64-bit processors, so if you're running a 64-bit version of Windows, it should give you a solid speed boost. It also updates whenever Firefox does, so you're never behind, and uses your current Firefox profile, so you don't have to do any extra setup. All of your add-ons should work out of the box, too. The latest version of Waterfox contains the following updates by Mozilla: -Added Type Inference, significantly improving JavaScript performance -Added support for querying Do Not Track status via JavaScript -Added support for font-stretch -Improved support for text-overflow -Improved standards support for HTML5, MathML, and CSS -Fixed several stability issues -Fixed several security issues -Proper version of jemalloc implemented without having to mess around with code -Smaller final code Users of Waterfox must have Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) installed.
