In case anyone had the same kneejerk reaction: no, this is not about privacy etc. Just performance, according to OOP.
Still, this reads like a reaction to a recent overblown debacle.
edit: no, it actually does say "hardened security" in the README, lol, but the whole project seems to boil down to some compiler flags.
Honestly, OOP should've broadcast that fact. It is a lot easier sell than letting people think they changed the code somehow.
Not sure why they are trying to show it as a seperate project.
*not overblown
how does it compare to regular firefox? is there any substantial changes?
Check Benchmarks: https://github.com/CYFARE/HellFire#benchmarks
Its performance is much better.
Just looking at the provided numbers it feels marginal, how is it much better?
Biggest increase is like ~12 % on one of the benchmarks. Other benchmarks don't show any significant changes
This benchmark is against Thorium / Mercury. Which is already way faster than regular Firefox. The total aggregated speed is considerable. https://thorium.rocks/mercury_performance
