Faster web browsing!

[exploder]

I just installed Swiftweasel 2.0.0.5 ! Web pages are loading a little faster but best of all I can update it from within the program!

I just extracted Swiftweasel to my /home directory and changed the path in my shortcut to it's executable file!

So, is this Debian's version of SwiftFox!

Edit: Yes it is.

[exploder]

Probably, it doesn't matter to me what it is called. It just works very well!

Hey its really nice finding works really good i liked it too.

[exploder]

poison, did you install the .deb or extract Swiftweasel to your /home directory?

[poision]

Hey i just used .deb.Why is that make any difference or what not getting ya now?

[exploder]

I was wondering if you still had the update feature through the browser after the .deb install?

[exploder]

I installed the .deb, works perfectly. I had it extracted to my /home originally and ran from there. No problems installing from the .deb and everything works the same including the update feature!

What's this? It's faster!!! In our town we can only get a "half DSL1000"- so this is great for me. Installed the .deb and run...thanks for it!

Gtreetings!

My fonts look worse with swiftweasel than the default firefox. Anyone else notice this? Anyway to fix it?

Also, does anyone know of an opteron build of swiftweasel? Or should I just use the k8 build?

[poision]

I noticed it!

In fact I had to stop using it and go back to regular vanilla Firefox.

[hi i think u should try amd64 rather than k8. cos its working very well on my turion x2

well I was using the proper build for my CPU but it still looked pretty bad.

The fonts looked badly rendered, it's as if you had the pen width set to low in autocad.

I have an AMD Opteron 170. I'm running the 32bit version of Mint, so I can't choose the amd64 file. I really want to use swiftweasel, because it is faster, but the fonts look much worse.

Hi you didnt get me buddy.Amd64 is architecture name of processor. You ll find amd64 for i386 there.I installed that only.I ve turion X2 duel core 64bit processor running 32bit mint.And one more thing dont use beta version.Check site again you get it.

ah ok. I got it now. My fonts still look different than the normal firefox. Maybe they will fix it in later versions. I'm not sure why it's rendering the fonts differently.

I tried Swiftfox on the outside chance that it does better than Swiftweasel, but the results were about the same.

Both are noticeably faster than Firefox at rendering web pages, but the pages they render ore not very good looking.
