Many people have been reporting it flies on AMD processors compared to the regular build. ...2x page loading speeds?

wow...great speed...760kb/s

Can anyone else verify the validity of this browser? (not firefox, but this specific custom build)...

Yeah, I'm not installing it until I know it's safe. 😀

nice server. Got the whole file in 17 seconds 😀

Though I'll probably still use Opera primarily, I'll give Firefox a try 😛

posting on it now.

I will surf around and report back

EDIT: seems to work pretty well. Faster than what IE was going.

Same speed as regular Firefox for me (running Barton 2800+)

Considering its Optimized for AMD using "SSE" instructions.....wouldn't this optimize it too for Intel Processors? Seeing that SSE was created by Intel

Cool, I'll give this a shot.

Oh great that's just what I need. Opera runs too slow on my wimpy 1.6ghz CPU. It takes forever for those pages to render thanks to my damn processor!!!

Tried to load it for a few users who prefer netscape at my work... few probs

 

[Savarak]

just want to bump it, for more people to try it... I've been using bluefyre and updating(from the nightly builds) since the OP... and I do think the speed is improved over the original Firefox...

 

[KokomoGST]

Hmm... any more reports on stability out there... I've very curious.

 

[Savarak]

its very stable for me, never has it crashed on me

 

[Sid59]

what 'feels faster?'

 

[Pepsi90919]

it doesn't really feel faster at all.

[Savarak]

[Bassyhead]

cool

 

[MournSanity]

I've been using this for about a week. Good stuff.

 

[Johnnie]

works good for me 🙂

 

[rh71]

Who here ACTUALLY sees a speed improvement over the previous Mozilla / Firefox ?

I can't comment on the difference in speed between this distro of firefox and the regular firefox because I went from firebird to firefox (optimized), but there is a noticeable increase in stability and speed between firebird and this version of firefox.

330 KB/s. Nice 🙂

Yikes, this build hauls ass. Seriously, page rendering is quite a lot faster.

 

[BullsOnParade]

whoa.
