According to its wikipedia page, WaterFox is owned by an advertising company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfox
Crazy to link the page but not read the relevant parts.
In December 2019, System1, an advertising company which portrays itself as privacy-focused,[19] acquired Waterfox.[20][21] In July 2023, Alex Kontos announced that Waterfox had been turned into an independent project again.[22]
I am not sure what is happening, but clicking the link (the topic title) will just reopen this again. And there is no text body or image or link otherwise.
It’s not a link, it’s a text post with nothing but title.
It just shows the title on my end (piefed)
No thanks.
I’ll stick with Librewolf for my Firefox fork.
I think the best option is to use hardened Firefox + Ublock. Most forks are maintained by a very small community, sometimes even just one person. Managing the compatibility of custom security settings with new security patches can be problematic, so I would only trust forks that use Firefox ESR as the basis for their browser, i.e. projects such as Ironfox, for example.
