Swiftfox: a fast Firefox alternative for Linux users only
,----[ Quote ]
| In my ongoing search to find the perfect
| browser, Iâve generally stuck to Opera for
| the past several years, on Windows and on
| Linux.
|
| Iâve used Firefox of course, but Iâve
| discussed a number of issues that Iâve had
| with Firefox over the years, and in my
| hunt for a great browser, Iâve always
| found myself going back to Opera.
|
| [...]
|
| As I mentioned above, I was amazed to find
| that my opinion of Firefox all these years
| has been so strongly affected by its
| performance. I have found that when you
| fix the performance problems the way
| Swiftfox has, suddenly all my other
| quibbles with Firefox become significantly
| less important and donât bug me anywhere
| NEAR as much as they used to.

Not Mozilla, but still...
Firefox alpha dons Flash flack jacket
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has pushed out a Firefox developer
| preview that runs Adobe Flash and other
| plug-ins as a separate process, hoping to
| prevent crashing plug-ins from crashing
| the browser proper.
|
| The move comes as Apple Insider reports
| that Steve Jobs and cult have asked a
| group of "elite" testers to kick the
| proverbial tires on a new version of
| Safari that includes some sort of Flash
| crash protection.

Mozilla Lands Out-Of-Process Plugins in Firefox 3.7
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the big things that Google Chrome
| introduced is the idea of out of process
| plugins. It's something that has now
| (finally!) landed in Mozilla -- albeit in
| the Alpha 2 release of Firefox 3.7
| (officially called Mozilla Developer
| Preview 3.7 Alpha 2).

Introducing ioSwiftFox
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow, I just found a truly unique application that runs fast as hell right
| from memory and does not require root access to install, so you non-root
| users can download this single file and you dont have to install a thing, it
| runs straight from ram and /tmp and believe it or not, it is faster than
| firefox and swiftfox because it is all pre-linked. No compiling, installing
| or anything is necessary.
