What do you think of WaterFox ?
Yes, arkenfox.js etc. But myself i do use ffprofile.com, it creates a frefox profile for you and it cares about privacy and security.I don't remember if it was here or on Fedora forums, but there's a few github pages with extra firefox settings for privacy. I would suggest anyone interested do a quick web search firefox privacy github. I saw several, I'm just going to post the first one, no idea how it is in comparision to others.

IMO arkenfox.js is very good and you can tweak it too. But for Waterfox I do not now. Long time ago I use it but not anymore. I like Luakit but I do not use anymore. Now I have Firefox and Qutebrowser.Yes, arkenfox.js etc. But myself i do use ffprofile.com, it creates a frefox profile for you and it cares about privacy and security.
+1I use librewolf.
Them removing some privacy clause in dev was kind of sketchy. But I feel if privacy was a focus for other browsers, they wouldn't fork from the same nefarious source.What I don't like about Firefox is that they lie, they say they are privacy focus, but they bloat the browser with telemetry.
Librewolf didn't have an Android build; at a bare-minimum I need consistency between desktop and Android browsersI know about librewolf too, what's the difference between librewolf and waterfox ??
I agree, can't find exactly what they've changed.Why can't Waterfox provide what they do to Firefox in plaintext, and allow others to make conscious decisions about their privacy? An entire sponsor-y website looks like extra man-power that could be used to find more about:config privacy tweaks
Try to delete directory .waterfox and start again.mine dont work and I dont know why, its slow eatup ram and take year to load pages firefox is not doing that so I switched back to ff i have no time at the moment.
To be clear: this is not Firefox's fork and I'm unclear that it's a fork of Firefox.Firefox's fork Waterfox
yeah that's true.To be clear: this is not Firefox's fork and I'm unclear that it's a fork of Firefox.
First, it was created by an individual, not Firefox or Mozilla. Second, it uses the same Gecko engine Firefox uses. How much beyond using the same engine it goes, I'm not clear.

Did there used to be a Kontos in the forums? I can't find the username anymore, as if the account was deleted. Idk if it's the same Kontos. I remember an avatar with a cartoonish face. It might of had a cigar.
