      Github shows only 2 commits. This seems to be the previous repository https://waterfox.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets https://waterfox.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets

  I guess the smiley face after 'fastest browser ... probably' is because their own benchmarks show it not consistently beating Chrome?

  The source does not seem to be available, and the only additional features mentioned (i.e. built with Intel's compiler and added "some extra features to really stand out") do not justify running unknown code on my machine. As far as I know the figure of 3,000,000 could be completely fake and the binary could contain malware. The benchmark graphs are completely misguided---I believe he should be using a bar chart for the first and no graph at all for the second (since each point requires us to inverse the comparison!) But the creator is around 19, so I hope him the best in an endeavorous project, although I hope he releases the source code for his improvements. EDIT: I now see the link to the source code! Void everything I said except the second paragraph.
