| Waterfox 48.0.1 |
Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. This code is taken and
compiled to run specifically for 64-Bit Windows computers. To make Waterfox
stand out a bit more, it’s compiled with optimizations so that it will run more
efficiently and faster than just compiling Firefox as a 64-Bit program.
Waterfox
focuses on giving users choice while also helping make the world a better
place. It is partners with Ecosia, a search engine that plants trees with its
generated revenues. The browser itself is focused on power users, which lets
you make the important decisions. There is no plugin whitelist, you can run
whichever extensions you like and absolutely no data or telemetry is sent back
to Mozilla or the Waterfox project.
This
web browser is based on the current stable Firefox build, which means it
functions in exactly the same way. Aside from its name on the menu at the top
of the main window, there’s nothing to differentiate it from Firefox. Waterfox
shares your Firefox settings, so should you come to uninstall it. Don’t select
the option to delete all personal information if you’re still using Firefox.
And your add-ons and extensions work on any version of Firefox, on any
platform!
