Anyone here use Waterfox?I remember there being something fishy with their approach? Was it telemetry? And is it still owned by System1?

@fatboy Also quite a while before they were bought out they announced that it was going to drop support for legacy extensions and follow mainline Firefox in only allowing webextensions, therefore being totally useless. The only thing it offered was 64-bit support and legacy extensions, and by that time Firefox already had 64-bit support so when they dropped legacy extensions the only difference you'd be getting is (substantially) delayed security updates. And then they went and got bought by system1 and managed to somehow shove it more telemetry than was thought possible in a single piece of software.@hackabox
