For the unaware, System1 had invested in Waterfox in late 2019, and while they did nothing explicitly violating user privacy, their “backing” of Waterfox wasn’t well-received by many (including myself in the initial version of this review) Waterfox is independentĪs of July 2023, Waterfox announced it has returned to its former status as an independent project - presumably, shedding their association with System1. Most notably, Waterfox has returned to its previous independent status and has streamlined its lineup. Waterfox has changed some since publishing this post. Nonexistent mobile support (this may be a con for some people).Still needs about:config tweaks found in Mozilla Firefox to be a more 'true' privacy browser.
Bought by analytics/adverising company, System1, which is the same company that bought search engine StartPage.
