One of the most well-known Internet navigation applications in existence, Mozilla Firefox, has an impressive user base and, since it is open source, there are a number of browsers that are based on its engine. Among these utilities you will find Waterfox Portable, which was designed to offer users an improved Firefox, especially tailored for 64-bit platforms.

Anyone who has tried Mozilla's proprietary browser should have absolutely no problem in getting to terms with this one. One advantage of this custom-made Firefox is the fact that it can be deployed on the go, from a storage device such as an USB memory drive.

The webpage loading and rendering capabilities are identical to those of the Firefox edition Waterfox Portable is modeled after, so it's no surprise to see this browser moving really fast. Unfortunately, almost all the glitches that are present in the original code are also packed in this customized edition.

One thing that favors Waterfox Portable is the fact that it will act a bit better on the architecture it was meant to run on. There are somewhat lesser problems when it comes to the handling of many tabs opened at once in the same session, but other than that, everything is on par with Firefox.

Since this particular web browser was especially tailored for 64-bit systems, it is recommended to keep it on computers with that architecture because this is where it will yield the best results. Insofar as the way in which extensions are handled, users will be glad to know that all add-nos that run in Firefox will certainly be usable inside Waterfox Portable as well.

To sum things up, this application is a good Internet navigating tool thanks to its origins but insofar as originality is concerned, it brings very little to entice users and make them make the switch from other browsers.
