Anyone using WaterFox Browser?

Wow, that's an amazing list of features...I think. Can someone translate those features into benefits please?

Sent from my desktop which reportedly is no longer being used.
 
I believe it said it was 64-bit only and only supports Firefox plugins/addons that are 64-bit.
I think my hesitation, beyond never hearing of this before, is it being a 3rd party who then must wait for the real browser to make updates before it can.
Although, swapping browsers isn't a big deal as if it were an OS (like the bajillion offshoot Linux distros).
 
ill have to wait for it to gain some popularity before checking it out.
ive been making a lot of online purchases lately and id probably break down if someone got my info =X
 
"I believe it said it was 64-bit only and only supports Firefox plugins/addons that are 64-bit"

so those units that are 32-bit are not suitable for that apps?

Thanks for sharing this sounds very promising
 
D/L'ed it this evening. It's fast. Like hella fast. Ima probably dump Google Chrome browser. I'd dump IE too if Windows wasn't so meshed with it ie Windows Update. Maybe that's changed. I doubt it. I'm looking for good plug-ins if anybody has any suggestions. I haven't used Firefox in a serious manner for a couple of years. I installed Waterfox without carrying over my bookmatks etc. Frankly, I have way too many to even care about on Google Chrome. The only thing I really miss so far is being able to search directly with right click. Thanks [MENTION=1]IcEWoLF[/MENTION].
