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!

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

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!

Also, does anyone know of an opteron build of swiftweasel? Or should I just use the k8 build?
I noticed it!
In fact I had to stop using it and go back to regular vanilla Firefox.

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 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.
