Waterfox v43.0.4 on Windows 7
Waterfox is a web browser which is based on what is now the Firefox browser. This 64-bit web browser is designed with one main thing in mind--speed. Some people use it for this reason alone, while others use it because they are trying to avoid Firefox for political and religious reasons.
History
Waterfox was started in March 2011 by Alex Kontos. From the beginning, he has used Intel's C++ compiler, which he refers to as "one of the most powerful compilers out there." [1]
Notes
- Waterfox seems to only support 64-bit systems
- Another alternative sometimes used is Pale Moon, which supports 32-bit systems
