me, and the entry confirmed this. Worked perfectly. Some more on what "fully free" means, and a history of the split would be good, but I think it's great that the entry exists as it does (expansion can follow at any point). It appeals primarily to a subpopulation, but so what? We are not bound by the size of the book we are creating. If swiftweasel per se dies out (no new development and low use) then at that point combining it under firefox/swiftfox or whatever makes sense.
449:. It is listed in Softpedia. Its web page statistics say it has 3k hits a day, with 200-400 a day downloads. It is listed in numerous blogs, forum posts and other pages that talk about its differences and improvements. While they cant be used to prove points about the browser, they do prove that its being noticed and talked about. Ill even toss in

The matter is simple. Firefox has a list of forks. Swiftweasel is one of those forks. It is a different fork from the forks you mention. Therefore it must be in a different article from the ones you mention. The structure of those articles should be very similar, but the content should differ in

As a 64 bit and 32 bit Ubuntu user, I strongly disagree with deleting or merging. Here's why: - Swiftweasel has 64 bit builds. It is the only
Mozilla Linux build with 64bit builds. - Swiftfox is a proprietary application under a proprietary license and is not open source. It doesn't contain default

I would prefer that this stays. The only reason I have found this talk page is because I was looking for info on swiftweasel. I just searched for on google to find out if 'swiftweasel' versus one of the others was what I had installed on a previous system, hoping for a picture of the logo to remind

page, Swiftweasel is a very different product and, I believe, should have its own article. If anything, the article needs a bit more information about what makes
Swiftweasel unique. I use Swiftweasel primarily because there is a 32-bit build made for 64-bit Ubuntu that allows the Sun Java Plug-in to

while it didnt get reviewed it was mentioned and its icon used. That the developer is pointing out its up for deletion isnt a desired thing in your view, it shows that it is well enough known to maybe have some wikipedia editors as users. The developer didnt ask for people to do anything dishonest.
232:
I think the page should stay. The application is listed on a few pages other than its own. Its different in that it is optimized and free vs swiftfox which is is not free, but a proprietary build under a proprietary license. Swiftweasel also has defalut extensions that are not default in any other
246:
Iceweasel would also not be a good choice for merge , because the iceweasel page deals with the fact that Debian created
Iceweasel as a fork because of the Debian free software guidelines. There is no information that Swiftweasel is built for Debian, in fact its .deb files numbered and named for

Granted this page is not following the standard discussion of deletion. As such the keep votes will probably win. Because the merge votes state that the voters believe that the information belongs in wikipedia, be it some other page. As for notability. Swiftweasel is now being installed by

extensions. - It has its own settings directory while
Swiftfox uses the Firefox settings directory. - The Swiftweasel project now also builds Swiftdove; which is an email client, making it the first build to create a optimized build of a mail client.
123:
Although it is a good branch of
Swiftfox and Iceweasel, this article merely repeats the content of the Swiftfox article, but mentions the fact that it is "fully free". I think this would be better off merged into Swiftfox or Iceweasel's article.
48:
since nobody here wants to have the article deleted and this is indeed not the place for merge discussions, which may be continued elsewhere, taking into account that there is no imperative that different forks need to have different articles.
365:
I use
Swiftweasel primarily because there is a 32-bit build made for 64-bit Ubuntu that allows the Sun Java Plug-in to function. Swiftfox doesn't. If anything, Swiftfox and Iceweasel should be considered for merging under Swiftweasel.
380:
I use
Swiftweasel, over and above Firefox as it's more inline with use of the end user. There is lot's of features to it that's different from other versions, and it has 64 bit versions that is being tweaked all the time.

Swiftweasel has 64 bit builds. It is the only
Mozilla linux build with 64bit builds. All others are 32bit, even the packages for 64bit prossessors on Swiftfox are 32bit.
