jalaffa Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 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 cybpsych for the update.Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesbond Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 usually this is just placebo.... afaik it's nothing more than just a recompile of the same code, so how could it be faster? is there any real proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 is it actually worth it over firefoxThe 64-bit Waterfox is perceptibly faster than the slew of 32-bit Firefox - however, the 64-bit Nightly variant chews Waterfox. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 In fact, the Waterfox is only one bunch of failures. And this - Version 30.0 is only a draft. The latest is still 28.0.And almost nothing not working properly in version 30.0. A complete preform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperin Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you want to be running a Chromeclone that's what it's now inevitably going to be. Those of us who want a x64 Firefox before it was betrayed will run Palemoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I do not like the icon. It's odd shaped not round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I do not like the icon. It's odd shaped not round.Quite true!!!Without any specific reference to Waterfox, on my systems - have changed virtually all the icons of every program & application (to complement the overall theme style.)
