About Waterfox

The way to surf the web. Striking the perfect balance of privacy and useability. We try and take the bare minimum amount of information to keep things running smoothly. We don't need to know what you do within your browser. Waterfox supports the Chrome Web Store, the Opera Web store and the Firefox Store. The most extension support of any browser! Everyone likes to use their browser in a specific way. Waterfox was one of the first widely distributed 64-Bit browsers on the web and quickly gained a loyal following. At a time Waterfox had one thing in mind: speed, but now Waterfox also attempts to be an ethical, user-oriented browser. The browser is all about balance of privacy and useability. Too much focus on privacy and the web becomes too broken to use. Too little and data leakage happens. With Waterfox, you should find comfort in knowing that what you are doing inside your browser is only known by you.

GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one, it is entirely free software. While the Firefox source code from the Mozilla project is free software, they distribute and recommend nonfree software as plug-ins and addons. Also their trademark license imposes requirements for the distribution of modified versions that make it inconvenient to exercise freedom 3. Extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure. Blocks privacy trackers while in normal browsing mode, and all third party requests when in private browsing mode, based on Adblock Plus.

    "Waterfox Performance "

    Posted 2021-12-26

    Pros: 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: Waterfox default browser is Bing. That is my only complaint.

    Overall: I have been using Waterfox for a couple of months now and Waterfox is definitely ahead of Firefox in performance, leaving me very impressed!
