SwiftFox

Firefox, recompiled for Linux

https://getswiftfox.com/
Swiftfox is an optimized build of Mozilla Firefox for Linux.

I thought Firefox for Linux was amazing - this is just unbelievable! Pages literally loaded 5 times faster, and I didn't have to copy over any bookmarks or extensions or anything - it was done automatically (probably even share the Mozilla profile folder).

It even fixed a slightly annoying bug in my Linux Firefox version, when things sometimes opened in a new window instead of a tab. In Swiftfox, things worked as they should.

Oh ye gods, I can't believe how fast this is!

Better than even Opera, or Lynx, the command line browser!

|edit| Though, in fairness, it does use a whole 3% of my CPU time, and Firefox didn't touch any unless it was doing something difficult. |edit|
