It’s called the Floe theme, and I tried going back to Photon. Critcizing Waterfox while presumably using Firefox (a browser with objectively worse – and worsening – spying level) is a bit gross. PS: Let’s say Waterfox really intended to become spyware… Even then System1 would have to put in some effort to achieve parity with Firefox’s spyware level. One should always keep an eye on things, I agree, but comparing apples and oranges is never a good idea. There is no way that they would slip in malicious code overnight like the people who bought Nano Adblocker. System1 is a company and would be compelled to change Waterfox’s privacy policy IF they want to collect user data, one would also see such changes on GitHub as Waterfox is open source. Waterfox being sold to System1 (company that also owns StartPage) can hardly be compared to that.
However, the case of Nano Adblocker was rather special because it was sold to criminals(!) without prior notice, and those criminals were prepared to tqake advantage of the situation immediately. Can literally happen to any project if the owner sells out.
#WATERFOX FOR WINDOWS 8 SOFTWARE#
Now You: Do you use Waterfox? Describe your recent experience with the you trying to tell me that anyone can sell out and change software over night? If so, then this is hardly surprising.
#WATERFOX FOR WINDOWS 8 FULL#
It is recommended to back up existing Waterfox installations / profiles before installing the new version to ensure that data can be restored should issues be experienced while using the new version of the browser or during migration.Īlex Kontos plans to release a full blog post and roadmap for features on the official Waterfox site. Users who would like to give the preview version of Waterfox's next generation version a try find download links on Reddit. Last but not least, Waterfox will support installing userChrome customizations directly in the web browser. The Chrome and Opera extension stores are mentioned specifically, but other stores will be supported as well. Kontos notes that users can expect the same set of features that previous versions of the Waterfox browser supported this includes, among others, support for NPAPI plugins and privileged extensions.Īnother feature highlighted by the lead developer is that Waterfox's third generation may get support for installing extensions from other add-on stores. The new version of Waterfox is based on Gecko 78.5.0, the same core that Firefox ESR will be upgraded to on November 11, 2020.

PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, The scheme divides the version into three parts: Major, Minor, and Patch. The Waterfox browser release will switch to a new release versioning, as it will be released as Waterfox G3.0.0.
I could not get the Windows preview version to load any site other than internal sites at the time of writing a tab crash was thrown regardless of site that I tried to open using the preview.Īt least one other user reported the issue on the official Waterfox Reddit subreddit. The preview is designed for testing only and bugs are to be expected at this point in time.
