What's new in Waterfox 27.0.1? Fixed the user agent string. It should now show the correct information. Has the following layout: Mozilla/5.0 (platform; rv:geckoversion) Gecko/geckotrail Waterfox/waterforversion Firefox/firefoxversion Size of the program has been reduced by 14%, while retaining the same JavaScript and WebGL performance
Waterfox 28.0 is now available and this is a big release that has been in development for a long time. Performance gains are much higher and WF now comfortably competes with Google Chrome in JavaScript performance, with some huge gains in WebGL and HTML5 performance.
Features of the new release:
A complete, 100% ICC build! Yay! (As opposed to various VC and ICC build). Profile-Guided optimisation is back, which brings nice performance improvements. If you're running an Intel CPU, support for AVX2, SSE4.2, SSE4.1 and SSSE3 if your processor supports these instruction sets. AMD users, at the moment you only get up to SSE3 support Using Mozilla's built in memory allocator as opposed to jemalloc, otherwise crashes occur. Finally change the About dialogue to talk about Waterfox and to link to the Waterfox website (links still under construction)
