Thumbs up Waterfox

Anyone tried this? The install is a breeze and all addons/extensions still work and it is fully 64bit. My system is pretty rapid so not noticed a massive increase in performance, but it is noticeable.

Yeah I'm using it really tidy fair dues. Kept the standard theme as I noticed Noia was slowing it a little. Does seem faster as well.

Not heard of it, but will give it a go when I'm home. But before I do, is it another one of them browsers thats main focus is tabbed browsing? I prefer multiple windows, but I uninstalled Chrome because there was too much emphasise on tabbed.

You can configure most browsers to tab or not to mate.

Yeah not keen on tabs.
I use the latest firefox with tabs turned off, but from memory, I'm sure the right click menu in Chrome didn't let you open a link in new window, only new tab, even when tabbed was off.
Its essential to my **** viewing to have multiple windows I can tile, or show side by side. Watching one **** vid at a time doesn't do it anymore

Nope, chrome lets you open in windows or tabs
