Waterfox

Based on the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser, Waterfox aims to be one of the fastest browsers on the market. Developed exclusively for 64-bit operating systems with Intel's C++ compiler, the browser offers a superior speed and performance, while keeping most of its original core code unchanged. It has a very familiar design, but it comes with its own appearance elements and features as well.

The browser is offered completely free of charge and you can have it up and running in no time. It is available for Windows and Mac OS X and, as previously mentioned, it works only on 64-bit operating systems. Once it is installed, you can run the browser and visit your favorite websites right away, without installing any additional tools or services.

If you are familiar with Mozilla Firefox, you will feel right at home with Waterfox. In terms of appearance, the browser is similar to Firefox in almost any way, from its tabs down to its last button. You can find the same home page and quick dial and even the same options menu. What's more, Waterfox will automatically import everything you have in Firefox, including bookmarks, quick dial items and even your installed plug-ins and it will also send any changes back to Firefox.

Although it looks very similar to Firefox, Waterfox feels faster when surfing the web. The time it takes to load a web page is significantly shorter. For example, browsing through folders on Dropbox or other similar services feels almost like browsing through local folders in Windows Explorer.

Waterfox comes with all other features you are used to having in Firefox, so it doesn't take any time to adjust to this browser. Also, you can find the same add-ons installed on Waterfox and you can also browse through the same extensions market and install them in just a few seconds, with a single click.
