Floorp [a] is a free and open-source [2] [3] web browser based on Firefox.
Users can display a QR code for the URL of the current web page. [4]
Firefox Sync is also supported, and can share tabs across devices. It is cross-compatible with most other Firefox derivatives. [4]
Support for progressive web apps (PWA's) is also included. [5]
Floorp was based on Chromium in the past, but due to some technical issues, it has been based on Firefox since version 7.0.0. [6]
It is based on the Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) which means it may lack some of the features from the Firefox release channel. [7]
Floorp is based on Mozilla Firefox, adding new features including vertical tabs, multi-functional sidebars, and support for custom CSS. [8] [9] It also includes the ability to display, hide, change the display position, optimize vertical tabs, transfer toolbars to the title bar, and hide the sidebar until the mouse hovers over it. [10] [4] In addition, it supports very detailed customization, such as switching or hiding the bookmark label, moving toolbars to unconventional locations, and having the tab bar and URL bar on the same line. The default theme is "Proton UI Design," but it can be changed to other themes, including operating system-specific themes. [11] [12]
Floorp also includes a mode called "split view," which allows users to view multiple tabs at once without opening a separate window. [12]
Floorp includes several privacy features, including fingerprinting protection, and the ability to disable features such as WebGL and WebRTC. [10] It also disables telemetry from Mozilla, [13] while still including Firefox's anti-tracking features. [14]
Floorp also includes "share mode," which allows users to share their screens while hiding the bookmark bar and sidebar. [15]

Technology magazine Mr.PC praised the browser for being convenient and easy to use, with useful extensions included by default. [22]

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.

Its unofficial ports are available for various Unix and Unix-like operating systems, including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and other operating systems, such as reactOS. Firefox is also available for Android and iOS. However, as with all other iOS web browsers, the iOS version uses the WebKit layout engine instead of Gecko due to platform requirements. An optimized version is also available on the Amazon Fire TV as one of the two main browsers available with Amazon's Silk Browser.

CrystalDiskMark is an open source disk drive benchmark tool for Microsoft Windows from Crystal Dew World. Based on Microsoft's MIT-licensed Diskspd tool, this graphical benchmark is commonly used for testing the performance of solid-state storage. It works by reading and writing through the filesystem in a volume-dependent way. It generates read/write speeds in sequential and random positions with varying numbers of queues and threads. Solid-state drives tend to excel at random IO, as unlike hard drives, they do not need to seek for the specific position to read from or write to.
