It also supports extensions from popular browsers, like Chrome, Opera and Firefox. Waterfox protects your privacy too. It only collects necessary data and uses no telemetry to track your browsing activity. The Private Browsing feature gives you complete control over what information you share. It blocks trackers and ads that collect your data and includes a password manager to save your password and login information.
However, the main difference is that Firefox collects telemetry data and sends it to the developer Mozilla to help them improve the browser. Interaction data informs the developer how you use the browser for example, how many tabs you have open, the number of pages you visit and the add-ons you use. A disadvantage of Waterfox is the slow release of security updates.
The reason for this is because the developer needs to wait for the Firefox security updates before integrating them into Waterfox. These delays can be of a few days to a few weeks, which can put your computer at risk. The Waterfox browser may appeal to users who are serious about their online privacy. But since it has to wait for Firefox security updates , it might put your PC at risk at times.
It also constantly lags and freezes. It's not any more powerful, nor ethical, than Firefox. There is a reason for that; very few people work on Waterfox. Perhaps, with more collaborators, it could live up to its potential, since it is still accessible for the casual user. Yes, there are plenty of better options. Firefox itself still outperforms it in several areas. If you desire an alternative that does not come from the Mozilla Foundation, Opera or Brave is another great choice.
Waterfox has no significant problems, and it seems to be improving slowly. The 'Firefox Sync' feature is also present in Waterfox, allowing bookmarks, passwords and add-ons synchronization across multiple computers. Waterfox is the bit version of Firefox whose main purpose is browsing speed. Its powerful features and customization possibilities make it a great browsing tool for bit computer users. Waterfox Portable is essentially Mozilla Firefox's code compiled as a bit application for Windows.
This portable version includes support for all of Firefox's features including plug-ins, extensions and everything else you expect Firefox to do. Visually, the only different layout feature you might notice is the blue logo. As a portable application, installation of Waterfox Portable is not required meaning it can be executed from most locations including USB thumb drives, memory sticks and other forms of portable mass storage media.
