About Mercury

Firefox fork with compiler optimizations and patches from Librewolf, Waterfox, and Ghostery. It aims to be the Firefox equivalent of my main project: Thorium (a Chromium fork).

What's new in 129.0.2

- Finally updated it, plz don't hate me I know ya'll been waiting - Builds for ALL DA OSES! - Incorporated some compiler flags from Zen browser, AND, made some commits to Zen as well to add some of Mercury's AVX2 stuff. See > zen-browser/desktop#1216 Thanks to the author for talking to me on Reddit and then accepting my pull request. - Disabled "Normandy", a component that allows Mozilla to alter extension configurations at will remotely.

May reduce performance. NOTE: For those looking to build for themselves, cross compiling for MacOS is now broken since Apple complained about Mozilla redistributing the XCode SDK (of course 🙄). The workaround involves a lengthy process to package up the SDK from a Mac, then copy it to your Linux machine. It's outside the scope of these release notes, but I may add instructions to the //docs folder at a later date.UI Update: Next release will have some UI patches from Floorp, a popular Firefox fork. However, remember that Mercury doesn't attempt to heavily modify the UI from upstream Firefox, so don't expect Mercury to end up being a compiler optimiz...
