However itsa out-of-date release (v.122.0.2) versus tha LATEST (v.123) Firefox.

Currently i'm using Mercury, but it looks like that it is abandoned now.

Not sure if its allowed to post about forks, hope its fine. Firefox Mercury "Compiler optimized, private Firefox fork." For Lunux and Windows . Seems interesting. info : https://thorium.rocks/mercury

I used both Librewolf on linux and Waterfox on windows. Liked both browsers but chose Waterfox to continue with. Will not compare the performance of these browsers as used them on different systems. At least Waterfox was faster than Firefox on windows. Currently trying Floorp and Basilisk. I would suggest to check Mercury as well: https://thorium.rocks/mercury

Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.

Try Pulse https://pulsebrowser.app/

I am not too sure why it is being picked up like that but all of our content/source is opensource so feel free to build the browser on your own machine if you feel unsafe through our official builds. u/Danny_Dogg We understand it and we support local builds all the way. Information on building pulse can be found in our wiki. https://github.com/pulse-browser/browser/wiki

- https://pulsebrowser.app/ (new one, quite minimal, I may take some time with it) - https://librewolf.net/ - https://www.waterfox.net/

We are currently on Firefox 112.0 (latest major, not latest minor). Updates are applied inside of `gluon.json`, not via pnpm.

Thanks for your response. I do hope Waterfox provides at lot better performance than Firefox + Fastfox from Betterfox https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox or Pulse Browser, having Betterfox tweaks integrated: https://github.com/pulse-browser/browser

Pulse Browser Is Firefox Fork, but just saw that it is one version behind: https://github.com/pulse-browser/browser/releases
