Kontos’s approach more than that of the owner of Pale Moon and certainly more than that of the Mozilla dictators. I’ve still got Fx on my machines, but I’m generally happy with Waterfox, and the separation from System 1 can only be good news.įurthermore, I like Mr. Mozilla has now backed down, and – as they say – the end is not in sight for Win7 support, but I don’t care.

Privacy enhancements to some of the most popular search engines (wink wink, nudge nudge) are also in the pipeline, with more to be revealed soon.I’ve been using Waterfox as my default browser since Firefox announced its support for Win7 would end next month (Aug 2023).This is in progress and is due for release. Waterfox for Android’s feature set has been finalised, but requires updating to the latest components.Various issues with Waterfox’s UI have now been resolved.Sometimes connecting to a website would require multiple attempts to connect to it (indefinite loading).

Linux builds have now been compiled with PGO.

Waterfox’s preferences have been gone through with a fine tooth comb, with a lot of assistance from yokoffing.

Waterfox’s custom code has been migrated to JavaScript ESM, which should result in small performance improvement and more efficient memory usage.

Oblivious DNS has been replaced by DNS over Oblivious HTTP - a more supported implementation that accomplishes the same goal and uses the same underlying technology - just with a different implementation.

macOS builds now have experimental Widevine support - but may not fully function as of yet.Depending on your distro, you’ll need the equivalent of sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras.Linux builds now support Widevine, so you can now watch DRM protected content, such as Netflix, Prime, Disney+, etc.
