It is worth downloading. It is really fast except I can't use it on mine as I am using windowblinds at the moment. But yesterday's build has no problems here.

Thanks, So how do I install it? I guess I must install it on a different folder. Right?

Yes, just unzip it to any directory you want. But do not install over the existing program folder.

What makes this build good? What makes it optimized?

It is SSE2 optimized -- for P4 systems. Normal builds are just optimised generally for the processors.

It is beta, but what you are thinking about is debug stuff.

Its not in. This is a fast browser.

Thanks. Now all I need to figure out now is which build to use. Lots of different builds out there. I picked bangbang023's because I see him in Neowin.

One more question: Is this build safe to use? No bugs or stuf like that?

Can't wait for today's build. Supposed to be a lot of speed related bug fixes (see official post).

4/08 build is up. Scragz test is giving me an average of 4.2. Thats very fast especially compared to the past few days which have been a little on the slow side.

I wonder if like MozJF, you can sometimes build Firefox with SVG, the MozJF build is really fine, but it's not optimized for P4.

Sorry dude, but I really don't have the time to experiment with new building methods.
