Dactyloidae/README.md

Official Discord server

Dactyloidae is a heavily modified fork of Eclipse Hydra (fork of roytam1's Serpent, which is a fork of Basilisk, which is a fork of Firefox).

Some advantages over upstream, roytam1's Serpent, Eclipse Hydra and Firefox are:

• More optimizations (SSE2, with additional boosts for future CPUs coming soon)
• Better interoperability with upstream (using SQL storage instead of DBM)
• More modern theme
• Better e10s support
• Support for extensions in the Chrome and Edge Web Store (soon)
• Support for extensions released for both Pale Moon, Basilisk and Firefox
• WebExtensions support comparable to Firefox ESR 78
• Literally being the fastest XUL browser (33.7 in Speedometer 2.1 compared to 22.4 in Pale Moon 34.2 AVX2)
• Re-add support for iOS, Android, Windows 2000 and later, NetBSD (soon OpenBSD)
