![]() There is an important change that Waterfox G4 brings, Startpage is the default search engine for Private Tabs and Private Windows. Startpage is the default search engine in Private Tab and Private Window ![]() ![]() This is similar to what the popular add-on Auto Tab Discard does. ![]() You can optionally enable a setting to "Show unload tab menu item" in the tab context menu, which you can use to unload tabs manually. Waterfox G4 will unload idle tabs automatically when your computer is low on memory. The reduction in the minimum system requirements was mentioned in the release notes for the latest version. Users with a computer powered by an SSE 4.1 CPU can rejoice now, as Waterfox G4.1.10 once again supports the legacy systems. This meant that computers would need to be upgraded to an SSE 4.2 chipset to use the browser, which is not exactly convenient for those on a tight budget, or relying on old hardware that cannot be upgraded easily without replacing other components. There was an uproar among users in the Waterfox community when G4 debuted last year, and removed support for SSE 4.1 compatible processors. So, five stars of course.Waterfox G4 is compatible with SSE 4.1 processors again Waterfox did solve (not totally but pretty close) the performance issues that i've been having with firefox and it's as costumizable as the later. It really baffles my mind how does chromium and other engines want to be taken serious with only 4 basic buttons on it's toolbar - it's an insult to any user. So i started to test every other browser i could get my hands on for a week or so ago and it just confirmed that i can't work properly with a browser that, for instance, doesn't let me, fully, natively, and in a simple way, costumize the toolbars. Anyway, i've been having problems with very slow or irresponsive firefox. I've been using mozilla/firefox since its inception. Pros: - as good as firefox, with better performance.Ĭons: - still some performance issues in my own setup (it may have to do with the gecko engine, not waterfox's fault).īottom Line: In my own experience and needs of productivity, Firefox's costumization options and overall layout far exceeds its lack of performance in comparison to other browsers. ![]()
