Waterfox is a fast and privacy conscious web browser powered by Gecko, a browser engine developed by Mozilla. It is used in the Firefox browser, the Thunderbird email client, and many other projects.
The browser is all about balance of privacy and usability. Too much focus on privacy and the web becomes too broken to use. Too little and data leakage happens. With Waterfox, you should find comfort in knowing that what you are doing inside your browser is only known by you.
This is free and open source software.
