Use a 64-Bit PC? Instead of Firefox, Try Waterfox 9.0

Published: | Posted By:

It is no mystery that I support the Firefox browser, I develop websites for it and use it on a daily basis.  It isn't because I dislike IE or that I think Chrome is rubbish but rather that I like the project and generally agree with everything they do.

Waterfox is a 64-bit version of Firefox and promises to offer speed improvements over the 32-bit Firefox browser.  Time will tell if it really takes off or simply falls out of popularity.

“In benchmarks, the 64-bit variant of Firefox outperforms the 32-bit variant,” according to the Waterfox website. “Also because this variant is being built specifically for Windows, there might be further performance increases.”

I'll give it a try, maybe you should too.
