Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros getting used to this browser was extremely easy (duh) and using it has given me no issues as of yet. extension support is awesome, and importing everything was simple enough. startpage as a default browser is also cool ! definitely an enjoyable experience. It isn't Firefox, made by people that are dreamers, in short a miracle they are still in a job really. Everything was very good, because I was also familiar with Firefox, I only needed a reserve browser, which was more then suitable. All extensions and add-ons working with fire-, were also compatible with the water-... most of all the download helper, and the several different add-blockers. I have been using Waterfox for a couple of months now and Waterfox is definitely ahead of Firefox in performance. I can honestly say i haven't had any hiccups with Waterfox whatsoever. Id confidently say Waterfox is almost twice as fast as Firefox. I don't know what the standards are in security for Waterfox though. Cons really poor performance on my phone. I have a Samsung S21 and it runs Waterfox really slowly compared to Chrome. it can't display pictures, needs major work to fix its brittle engine, it is slow, over promises and under delivers, suffers that same issues as its parent, a complicated hidden settings method and threadbare features, it's poorly made with careless design and no real quality. NO cons, except that it stopped supporting Windows 7. I know it by heart, I am 60 and DO NOT intend learning new windows, adapting applications, looking for alternatives, add-ons patches etc etc. ONLY because it would not support win 7 anymore I deleted it completely, yesterday. I found several equally good alternatives supporting win 7, full force, similar as w-fox used to. Waterfox default browser is Bing. That is my only complaint.		Pros from Real Users Pros How could anyone not love Wave Browser? I use it for all of my daily browsing and I honestly don't think I can use any other browser. My favorite thing about the Wave Browser is that it has a mission to help the planet by removing trash from the ocean every time that I search. In addition to that, the browser loads quickly and is easy to navigate. Another favorite feature of mine is that it allows me to track my packages from Amazon right from the browser. I have been using the wave browser for over a year, and I am genuinely impressed by its features-especially the multi-split view, Notes and built in assistant. I use it in both desktop and mobile, and it performs exceptionally well in both. This is one of the best browsers available on the market. I am able to browse the internet without any advertisements, thanks to the built-in ad blocker. It automatically blocks all ads and pop-ups, which saves me a lot of time. The browser also has AI integration that helps me get answers with just one click. Additionally, I can access all my social media accounts in one place. It's a very interesting browser that has no usage restrictions. I like it because I can use it on my computer without complications, and when I travel to other countries I use it without problems. I like its interface and the short learning curve for being able to use it. I love the friendliness of the features of Wave Browser. It is an exceptional browser that has a remarkable customer support team. To be honest, Wave Browser is not different from other web browsers so it is easy to use as others, it allows screen capture and I'm impressed of its translator which supports multiple languages and it's faster compared to any other tool, I am impressed by Wave Browser because it is a reliable and secure browser that meet our expectations. Secondly, Wave Browser is an easy to use browser. I like the following. 1. It's ability to allow private browsing makes it effective and reliable. 2. It's highly customizable making it secure. 3. It's history management is excellent, clear and reliable. Wave Browser is safe, you can easily find the saved page, share the page and take screenshots directly from it. It also allows you to copy and paste links/URLs and run them
