Waterfox 10.0

Waterfox is basically a 64-Bit version of Firefox. The Firefox source code is taken and compiled to run specifically for 64-Bit Windows computers.

I have to say, I switched to Waterfox about 2 months ago now, and I love it.

I did find one small downside to it, and that is the plug-ins also have to be 64 bit. I'm not really big on plug-ins, but a friend of mine just got a new laptop (running Win 7 Home Premium x64), so I was going to hook her up with Waterfox. However, she loves the AOL Radio Toolbar, and apparently, that one only installs on 32 bit browsers. So, just keep that in mind if you want to switch. Some of your browser plug-ins may not work.

Outside of that, it is a great product, and I love using it.

I refuse to use it. Not everything will work for me in it.

I wish I could use it, but I doubt the add-on I use will ever support Waterfox. I'll put in a suggestion, as it's the only add-on that isn't compatible that I use, but it's also the main add-on I use and can't use a browser without it. That is, 1Password.
