The first time I’ve heard about this browser was here on Lemmy maybe 20 minutes ago. A quick look at their webpage says that they use gecko as their web engine, but doesn’t specify it bring a fork of Firefox.
To put this in context, most gecko based browsers I’ve heard about recently have also been Firefox forks. Is Waterfox a Firefox fork? And what does Waterfox do differently that should make people consider it more than Librewolf or another Firefox fork?
From what I understand it’s mostly Firefox ESR with betterfox already integrated so it’s a few steps less than having to harden your FF a bit.
Also, no Mozilla telemetry is nice. Oh and I believe there is support for Chrome extensions.
That’s basically what I can tell from a quick glance.
