It's a direct compilation of Firefox, emphasizing maximum performance without any source, configuration, or visual modifications.\r\n\r\n## Releases\r\n\r\nWe provide x86_64 builds for both GNU/Linux.\r\n\r\n- **x86_64 GNU/Linux**: [Releases](https://github.com/CYFARE/HellFire/releases/)\r\n\r\nNote: Windows builds failing consistently. Microsoft Windows has been the single most bugged and worst system for developers and it's users. Due to consistent issues exclusive to Windows, Microsoft Windows is removed from support completely, with immediate effect.\r\n\r\nAs Linus Torvalds said to NVIDIA once, I say to Microsoft - **--- YOU MICROSOFT**\r\n\r\n## Benchmarks\r\n\r\nHigher score = Faster browser. Hellfire 144 outperforms Firefox mainline and Ungoogled Chromium.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2 align=\"center\"\u003e\r\n \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CYFARE/HellFire/main/Benchmarks/chart.png\"\u003e\r\n\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch6 align=\"center\"\u003e\r\n\r\n| Benchmark       | HellFire 144.0a1 | Ungoogled Chromium | Firefox 142.0.1 |\r\n|-----------------|------------------|--------------------|-----------------|\r\n| Speedometer 3.1 | 20.9327          | 20.2244            | 19.9420         |\r\n\r\n\u003c/h6\u003e\r\n\r\nYou don't need to have a shady easter-egg inside forked sources.. just download \u0026 use HellFire :)\r\n\r\n## Compile Time Optimizations\r\n\r\nHellFire offers a variety of optimized builds, each tailored for different levels of optimization and security.\r\n\r\n| Configuration          | Optimization and Security Settings                     | Description                                            |\r\n|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|\r\n| HellFire (GNU/Linux)         | `-O3` Optimized, Hardened Security, Sandbox Enabled                  | AVX2 + SSE4.2 + Full LTO |\r\n\r\n\r\nFor more details, explore our Mozconfigs:\r\n\r\n- [Linux64 Mozconfigs](https://github.com/CYFARE/HellFire/tree/main/MozConfigs/Linux64)\r\n\r\nTo build your own version, follow the [Firefox Build Guide](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/). Ensure you copy the desired mozconfig to `mozilla-unified` and rename it to `mozconfig` before running `./mach build`.\r\n\r\n\u003e For custom builds like 'hardened', 'Insecure' or mixed flag builds, please contact via: security@cyfare.net\r\n\r\n## Install \u0026 Update HellFire\r\n\r\nStay updated with the latest versions and installer on our [Releases](https://github.com/CYFARE/HellFire/releases/) page.\r\n\r\nFor GNU/Linux, follow the below process:\r\n\r\n### Package Installation\r\n\r\n```bash\r\nsudo apt-get update \u0026\u0026 sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-tk python3-requests python3-pil\r\n```\r\n\r\nRun the installer using:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\npython3 hellfire_installer.py\r\n```\r\n\r\nLegacy installer (incase of issues):\r\n\r\n1) Download preferred 7z package of HellFire from releases (7z packages are offered starting from v127.0a1).\r\n2) Download hellfire_installer.sh script from older releases\r\n3) `cd ~/ \u0026\u0026 cd Downloads \u0026\u0026 sudo chmod +x hellfire_installer.sh \u0026\u0026 ./hellfire_installer.sh`\r\n\r\nIf you're using Ubuntu or Ubuntu based OS like Zorin/Mint etc., then check your application menu \u0026 HellFire shortcut will be there. You can also run HellFire from terminal using: `hellfire` command. You can pipe hellfire through proxychains for using with proxies or tor using: `proxychains hellfire`\r\n\r\nFor updating to new version on GNU/Linux, just follow same steps \u0026 installer script will update your hellfire browser without editing your bookmarks, extensions or settings :)\r\n\r\n## Self Compile\r\n\r\nDownload the mozconfig for your preferred HellFire build from [HellFire MozConfigs](https://github.com/CYFARE/HellFire/tree/main/MozConfigs), rename it to 'mozconfig', place it under mozilla-unified, and begin your build.\r\n\r\n## Support\r\n\r\nEnjoying HellFire's performance boost?
