Title explains it all. I just saw a thread that Firefox is doing really good. I downloaded it and I'm liking it. I also heard of Waterfox? Where do I download that? Also is it really good?

Waterfox is a 64 bit version of Firefox. Other than that it's pretty much the same.

As far as I can tell https://www.waterfoxproject.org/ is the official project page.

Ola Englund does not approve of your hashtags. Sleep is for the weak, insomnia builds character.

As you are reading this you are slowly traveling forwards in time to where you will get out of the time machine and continue to read posts. Too spookyfor100me.

Waterfox is slower to start than Firefox, but is a 64-bit version of Firefox.

Chrome eats your system resources, and affect battery life by preventing the CPU to go to sleep when not in use, just to get that hint extra performance in benchmarks.
