Is this just a MEME or is it a better browser if you care about privacy and like firefox addons?
>>
Just get firefox and adjust the config to make it privacy-respecting. You get faster updates and it runs better.
>>

>adjust the config to make it privacy-respecting
Impossible.
>>
>>61877190
that's literally what waterfox is though
>>
>>61877223
No, Waterfox has code changes to disable telemetry that can't be disabled with settings on Firefox.
>>
>>61877170
Yes it is. I use Waterfox and love it. Like Cuckfox only with added improvements. Dev wants to continue legacy addon support too so after FF57 will be MILES better. Read more about it here:
https://www.waterfoxproject.org/
>>61877184
No you can't disable some stuff like Telementry and CuckFox x64 doesn't allow non-flash plugins or unsigned addons.
>>61877232

proof? I'd love to see some evidence of this.

it is still slow as slowfox
>>
>>61877275
>legacy addon support too so after FF57 will be MILES better
Not sure that supporting shitty coded addons that prevent multiproc support is "miles better".
>>
>>61877294
Because if all I wanted was Chrome addons I'd be using a Chrome clone. I'm glad you've accepted that's what FF57+ is.
>>
>>61877294
>prevent multiproc
They are already e10s compatible.
>shitty coded
Describes most WebExtensions.

I need addons with some power and actually can customize some stuff. Might as well use Chrome if you only want shitty WebExtensions with watered down/shitty api.

A lot of old addons are not e10s compatible.
>>
>>61877170
He's giving addon makers months or even more to convert or update the addons people use, even as fireshit drops the guillotine. Waterfox will literally have more features than fire for a long time.

yeap

So when ublock and noscript etc are developed primarily for the new Firefox, will legacy still get support and updates? For someone using Waterfox, IceCat etc
>>
>>61877377
Pretty much.
>>61877350
Hopefully indefinitely.
Mozilla is retarded and won't ever include the needed apis and webextensions are way too restrictive.
>>
>>61877397
>>61877399
>Pretty much.
So, when should i see the speed improvements over firefox?
>>
>>61877398
I think gorhill (uBlock Origin guy) said he won't be supporting legacy stuff, but I could be misquoting. It's too much time to support legacy when most everyone is moving forward.
>>
>>61877418
Maybe right away? It's compiled against amd64 or whatever so might give you more muscle. Either way the privacy improvements make it worth it's weight alone.
>>61877398
>>61877421
You guys are retarded. You can already use WebExtensions on Waterfox and current CuckFox. It's not Legacy vs WE. It's WE+Legacy or only WE.

>>
>>61877170
i thought waterfox was supposed to be a 64 bit windows firefox when 64bit windows firefox didn't exist

why does it still exist and whats all this privacy bs
>>
>>61878091
There is no reason for it to exist. Regular firefox allows you to disable everything you want, is going to be faster since its getting rid of addons that slow it down and replacing it with extensions, and will also be more up to date in terms of security.
>>
>>61878133
I agree, people here just have a built-in Luddite mentality.
>>
>>61878133
>>61878091
No it doesn't, there is telemntry that can't be under the hood. Plus x64 cuckfox only allows flash as a plugin and no unsigned addons.

proof? give me something that cant be disabled or proof that its connecting to unwanted IPs. Anything, something or else you're just spreading FUD

>Plus x64 cuckfox only allows flash as a plugin and no unsigned addons.
Hence, security. And fuck you for wanting flash.
>>
>>61877232
>that can't be disabled with settings on Firefox
Not in the regular settings interface, but everything CAN be disabled in about:config
>>
>>61877687

Fucking pointless.

Install gentoo or install Firefox.

The only mildly interesting trait about Waterfox is that it will maintain support for legacy addons, without being based on an ancient FF version like Pale Moon, otherwise it is complete placebo.

HAHAHAAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

>>61877418
Never. You use Waterfox for the logo, so that you can validate yourself among your anonymous internet peers.
>>
>>61877687
how to install icecat for win? cant find win installer
>>
>>61879548
What could you possible need from Waterfox or IceCat that Firefox can't already do?
I could see running one Firefox-based and one Chromium-based browser or something…

I'm currently on Firefox ESR because muh addons. Should I switch to this if I want newer features?
>>
>>61877170
It's gonna lose addon support too. It basically follows stable firefox except with defaults set to disable telemetry. It's a placebo browser.

Not showing the icons for my bookmarks. Unusable until I can get this fixed somehow. Also latest version of FT DeepDark theme isn't compatible.

you don't need an addon to disable WebRTC.
You can even do it with uBlockOrigin if you don't want to mess with about:config
