JohnDemolition Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 this guy made optimized versions of Firefox and Thunderbird using MMX, SSE, SSE2, SS3, and for a couple of more cpu instructions. so anyone feel like testing them and checking to see whether they are faster than the regular firefox or not? edit:forgot link. http://www1.plala.or.jp/tete009/en-US/software.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted September 9, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 9, 2006 Did you try it? If so was it stable?(any crashes) There is nothing worse then an unstable browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted September 10, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2006 If opera could use ff extensions then I'd be there in a heartbeat. (just can't stand to browse without them now. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 pfff. Opera has everything i need. extensions just increase memory usage and slow down load time. Opera also has UserJS which extends functionality by a huge margin. i also found CustomizeGoogle and Googlepedia for Opera . but let's not get this too off-topic. someone test the builds.

Humpty Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Trying FF Optimised Bon Echo 2.02b ATM. Seems OK. Mem usage is still up there.Three tabs open with noscripot and Adblock using 37 meg. Just as quick as FF but I can't really test it as it grabs all my profiles including my about:config tweaks. This could be used but I'm quite happy with FF 2.0b2 original. Sorry about the useless review but I don't want to uninstall my original FF. Up to 40 meg mem after posting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 The question is, can it be trusted? And about Opera, sure yeh... once it comes with source code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
