During this week we have known the beta version of Firefox 57, the next version of Mozilla's browser and the first version that will use Quantum technology. The also called Firefox Quantum has pleasantly surprised users who have tried this new version.
Many have not only been surprised but have believed the words of the CEO of Mozilla in which he stated that Firefox 57 would be a great Big Bang.
The beta version of Firefox Quantum is twice as fast as the latest version of Firefox and also consumes half the RAM. Features that many users look for in their web browser, especially for users who have computers with few resources.
The development version of Firefox Quantum is fully compatible with all web technologies, being able to use popular services such as YouTube, Spotify or Netflix. However, it will not be compatible with all extensions and plugins that exist for Firefox but rather will be compatible with new extensions. Remember that this version is a development version that has nothing to do with the version released this week, Firefox 56, which is a stable and functional version that will reach all computers with Mozilla Firefox.
The installation or testing of this version is achieved by downloading the package with the Firefox program. In this link you can get Firefox Quantum, we just have to unzip the compressed file and run the file called "Firefox". After a few seconds (but very few seconds) The beta version of Firefox 57 will open showing all its news.
I have personally tested this beta version and was pleasantly surprised. Its operation has been very accelerated, being a browser as fast or faster than Google Chrome. The ram consumption hardly increases and the user interface is quite clear and simple, something that many users look for.
If only Firefox didn't use up so much battery.
