I discover Mercury browser with pleasure !

but I don't see a link to download it ?

I hope that Mr Alex will make changes to reduce the data used by the session store and session restores, there are a lot of parameters relating to the session store parameter that I no longer know for sure which parameter to disable unfortunately :( I also hope there will be an option to disable MSE media source extension quickly so we can buffer full video in youtube and some streaming site, pale moon browser has option to disable media source extension, and may be Mercury can be inspired by Basilisk browser which has recently been updated and the project relaunched:

or the amazing Floorp browser make by japeneese students community, this is new updates adress !

and ice raven browser :

https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser and also to enable quickly D3D9 beacause i because I tested this setting on chromium and the browser becomes fast, as well as an option to disable javascript by default to avoid malware, and option for adjusting performance settings to reduce memory can be done in Preferences or by changing the dom.ipc .processCount value to 1-8 and browser.preferences.defaultPerformanceSettings.enabled to false manually in about:config.

However you may want to manually adjust this setting to increase performance even further or decrease memory usage on low-end devices.

and also disbale prefetch and captive portal !

thank you very much !

and Ghostery https://github.com/ghostery/user-agent-desktop https://www.ghostery.com/

"Firefox and Chrome have been found to continuously write so much data that it might affect the durability of SSDs. Both browsers write an incredible amount of data to disk, even when idle.
