I think you made a mistake. This is a map of the London Underground
I've just started using Google Chrome. I use gmail a lot and was told Chrome was more compatible than with other browsers. I'm not sure if this is true, but I'm trying it out.
Anyone tried this one out yet? WaterFox A 64 bit optimized version of FireFox. I wonder if it's faster than Pale Moon?
Nope. That is the first mention of it I have seen. I might give it a look see. Thx for the link.
I gave it a shot...My computer froze almost instantly. This is Win 7 HP x64 SP1. Could not even run the peacekeeper browser bench.

Wow, that's not good. Sorry about that. I was reading an article where the guys that hack FireFox and turn it into WaterFox claim it's the fastest 64 bit variant of the browser out there. Now I'm curious why it crashed (must be som optimization they screwed with!) and I'll have to give it a try.
Yeah, that figures...."I can mess something up??"...." Letīs give it a try!!!!"Wow, that's not good. Sorry about that.

Hmmm...hey Beer - do you have all the updates from Win7 and did you download and install that "Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)" they say you need at the top of the page? I downloaded it, but when I went to install it, found it was already installed on my computer. So, I just downloaded and installed with WaterFox. I am typing on it right now.
It IS very FAST. As fast as my Internet connection, that is for sure. It doesn't seem to matter how many tabs I have open or how many sites I click on at the same time - it is not waiting on my computer at all; my Internet connection is definitely the bottleneck for sure.
EDIT: I see why it is fast -- the browser is optimized for SSE, SSE2, and X64. They hint in future they will optimize for SSE3 and 4.1 once more of their downloads are from users with CPUs capable of those instruction sets. They basically recompile the FireFox code after every release with those flags checked. So, if you are running say an Intel Core / Core2 or AMD Athlon 64 OR NEWER CPU, then you will see some awesome performance here. Glad we stumbled across this one!

At the top of the d/p page it says, "You MUST have Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) installed!" Do you?
