What is Waterfox?
Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla platform. Made specifically for 64-Bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed.
What makes Waterfox so fast?
It's built with Intel's C++ compiler. One of the most powerful compilers out there. This enables us to make the fastest possible web browser for all the code changes we make. This potent combination makes for an unparalleled browsing experience.

Best Firefox-fork out there, no telemetry & faster than Mozilla's browser.

From the release 41 Firefox will start blocking unsigned extensions. Waterfox will keep the possibility to install them, another reason to prefer this software to the original one.

Basicly Firefox with some disabled totally useless stuff like pocket. A lot more privacy oriented, and the concept would be perfect, however the releases are kind of buggy most of the time. Media keys are still disabled after the 1 year old fox update.

Don't use this. It takes longer for Waterfox to receive security updates so it can leave you vulnerable.
