Waterfox regains Independence abandoning the advertising company System1

In a recent blog post, the creator of Waterfox, Alex Kontos, announced that the popular web browser is once again independent.

In February 2020 the acquisition of the program by System1, an advertising company, raised suspicions among users, who were concerned about their data.

However, Kontos said that Waterfox is no longer under their ownership and reassured users that the development focus of the browser remains on privacy, customization options, and performance. He has also promised to accelerate the development process and introduce new features to enhance the browsing experience.
