[ubuntu-in] Swiftfox versus Firefox

[K Ramnarayan]

Hi

recent there were some articles on swiftfox, the distribution (os) specific 
implementation of firefox. Its supposedly a bt faster and also better to use 
because of it better integration with the installed OS. 

I have installed swiftfox from the apt-get repos for this purpose. 

Am using it and can say that it seems n diiferent in features from firefox but 
haven't seen an noticeable difference in performance,

So question is how does one compare browser performance, is there any one else 
using swiftfox and what do you have to say about it.

 Then there is this problem with licensing, and more *importantly* is some 
what closed source nature and hence resultant security concerns. This concerns 
me - esp if there is no significant advantage in swfitfox then it may be better 
to stick to
