Waterfox is a 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox under a different banner. The idea behind this web browser is to create speed. Intel's C++ compiler is used, a Math Library also from Intel, and several other extras to boost speeds. Whilst the package can run plug-ins (which usually considerably slow down Mozilla Firefox) the majority are not 64-bit compatible. As such, anyone using this package may benefit from a faster, clean install of this Firefox variant with almost no plug-ins added, but struggle when wanting to improve their browsing experience through the use of plug-in improvements.

Waterfox Key Features:

• 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox under a different banner
• Only runs 64-bit plug-ins which exclude most available
• Re-compiled for speed

Waterfox is a 64-bit version of Mozilla Firefox for those who want a vanilla Firefox experience, but faster.
