Light (web browser)
Light, formerly known as Firefox Light,[1] is a free and open-source web browser based on Firefox. Light is available for the Windows, OS X and Linux operating systems.[2] It differs from Firefox by being built for performance,[3] which it achieves by removing several of Firefox's built in components, including the crash reporter, safe browsing, spell checker, development tools, and support for various types of video and audio media.[4]
