Administrator DKT27 Posted January 19, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2013 Waterfox is a 64-bit version of Firefox. Waterfox is modified version of the Firefox source code specifically for machines running 64-bit versions of Windows. Software designed for 64-bit Windows editions can take advantage of faster RAM and processing speeds and greater stability in 64-bit systems. Just converting Mozilla's source code for 64-bit Windows isn't enough, Waterfox takes it to another level with unique tweaks which help it exploit the speed of 64-bit systems. Waterfox is made with one thing in mind: speed. Waterfox offers 100% Firefox Add-on Compatibility and 64-bit Plugin Support.Thanks to HALiD for the update.DownloadNote: New addition to the listings.

Administrator DKT27 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cyberfox > WaterfoxRemove waterfox and replace it with Cyberfox if you only plan to post one of them.Waterfox has a LAZY dev.Cyberfox is fairly young browser I think. Doubt Waterfox dev is lazy, if you are referring to v17 not being available, then he was having a compiler problem, which prevented him from making one. Otherwise has been seen mentioning few times that he completes working on them in less than a couple of days of the original release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vizard Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 No, i am referring to him as lazy because he is lazy.Regardless of whatever anyone wants to believe.... just look that the release dates for waterfox... and the updates to his "site".Almost every release has taken weeks after firefox updated.... and his little comments on his site... have almost monthly gaps. (At least 3 weeks)As for Cyberfox... this project could easily die down as well. A lot of "devs" typically start off with a lot of energy and then lose interest. I say "devs" because these guys are just recompiling firefox the best they can... they aren't really changing much.But at least the guy making Cyberfox has forums behind him... and seems to be pretty quick... also he fixed issues that waterfox users were having.... so maybe the forum guys will keep him motivated.Either way... just benchmarking and using them on a day to day basis.... i say again...Cyberfox > Waterfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROMANTICGUY50 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have Firefox on my computer now. If I put a 64bit version on as well will there be any interaction problem. At one time I had two version and Firefox would not load bookmarks and kept messing up So if I put a 64 bit version in along with Firefox will I have any problems Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 @ ROMANTICGUY50I'm running Firefox V19 along side the V21 using the same profile without any issue - only care to be taken is to not run both iterations simultaneously. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ande Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 "Cyberfox is Compiled with Microsoft visual studios 2012, Windows 8 SDK and Intel composer XE 2013." - and by this they are balancing between performance and compatibility.Waterfox (re)compile their code using only ICC, which gives great advantage to users that are having intel processor.If you are looking at release date as a reference to make your decision then use Firefox?
