Waterfox

Waterfox provides you with a high-performance browser 64-Bit version of Mozilla Firefox. The Firefox source code was taken and compiled in order to specifically run for 64-Bit Windows computers.

To make Waterfox Current stand out from the crowd, it was compiled with many optimizations so that it will perform faster and more efficiently than simply compiling Firefox as a 64-Bit program.

Use this version of Waterfox Current if you want the latest and greatest the web has to offer, want to use all WebExtensions, and a few bootstrap extensions. Also, you can check the Waterfox Classic.
