What is Waterfox?

Waterfox was a project started in by Alex Kontos. Waterfox is free and open source. While it has received contributions from multiple developers over the years, the main driving force for maintaining the project seemed to be the founder himself.

Waterfox initially gained a lot of traction because, at the time, it was one of the only browsers available for x64 bit systems. Even Firefox, from which Waterfox was forked, only officially supported 32-bit back then.

Interestingly, Waterfox never took a definitive “privacy browser stance.” While it did aim to strip Mozilla’s telemetry and other somewhat questionably default features, Waterfox was primarily built for speed.However, in doing all of this, its goal was to be an “ethical browser,” and you can reasonably argue that this makes it a privacy focused browser.To me, it seems to just be a game of semantics, but I digress.However, so far, it appears that System1 hasn’t done anything overt to warrant being “untrustworthy” – outside of being a for-profit advertising company. Granted, some might say that near back-to-back acquisitions of independent and privacy-focused projects seems a little out of place…

Like many other desktop browsers, there was no guide for set up before using Waterfox. Power users may be thankful for this, but the average user could be a little offput.

The lack of “handholding” is most likely due to the browser being geared towards “power users,” and to people who value choice when it comes to privacy focused (or, in Waterfox’s specific case, “ethical”) browsers.

When I did some digging, it looks like Waterfox uses Firefox’s service at detectportal.firefox.com for detecting captive portals (if they exist on a connected Wi-Fi network.)

The Firefox “detectportal” service streamlines the captive portal process. A lot of users might miss a captive portal when trying to use a less familiar (usually public) network, such as a hotel’s Wi-Fi network.

Some users may not like this option being enabled default (external), because that means Waterfox is “talking” with Mozilla, and I can understand that. After all, Waterfox’s claim can be interpreted as the browser not “talking” with Mozilla servers.

Fortunately, you can disable this service by visiting about:config and changing network.captive-portal-service.enabled to false.

Usually if you don’t go through the established captive portal, the network will not let your device connect. This can cause a lot of needless frustration for users as they try to diagnose any issues.

If a captive portal detection service is so user-friendly, some might ask why didn’t the developer(s) behind Waterfox implement their own

No Phoning Home

Piggybacking off of the no telemetry “feature”… Waterfox also claims that it does not collect data on its users, nor does it continously phone home.

As I noted above, Waterfox does initiate a couple of connections to Mozilla. This is especially true if you are using it on a device connected wirelessly (AKA, you’re on a Wi-Fi network, as opposed to using an ethernet connection).

On each start up, Waterfox does a DNSquery for aus.waterfox.net. This is Waterfox’s automatic update service, which you can’t totally disable. At most, you can tell Waterfox not to automatically install updates. but it will still check for updates anyway.

Incorporating these options/functions directly into the main options was a good call, in my opinion. Doing so makes them readily accessible for quick configuring, and also accessible to “non-power” users that aren’t super comfortable fiddling around in about:config for whatever reason.

Legacy Firefox Add-on Support

One of the biggest draws for Waterfox is that it’s compatible with the vast majority of Firefox add-ons.

What’s more is that the “Classic” version of Waterfox is compatible with legacy Firefox add-ons – specifically, from the pre-quantum days.

Chrome Extension Support

A update to Waterfox enabled Chrome Extension Support. This enabled the adding of Chrome extensions from the Chrome Web Store directly to Firefox.

I would say this is a double-edged sword. While you now have access to Chromium-only extensions without necessarily using a Chromium browser, this feature is 1) still very buggy and 2) requires a signed-in Google account to download extensions.

The GOOD

Stripped of Telemetry

Many users don’t like telemetry. Many users also don’t like being opted into software telemetry by default.

Unfortunately, Mozilla Firefox does both. However, what’s good is that Waterfox does neither.

As I noted earlier, Waterfox claims that it does not collect telemetry and that it disables Mozilla’s telemetry. Admittedly, this is a tall order – made even taller by the fact that ad/analytics company System1 acquired Waterfox.

In my findings, I found that Waterfox doesn’t appear to collect its own telemetry. Additionally, it doesn’t appear to phone home a lot – which is great!

Compatible with Firefox Add-ons

The easy compatibility with Firefox add-ons makes installing and configuring browser plugins, such as uBlock Origin, a breeze. There is no real need for a “work-around” to utilize Firefox add-ons.

Therefore, for users that wish to ditch Firefox, the migration is made far less painful.

Majority owned by an advertising company

As stated previously, as of Waterfox is now majority owned by advertising/analytics company, System1.

And honestly, this is the biggest con I could find for this browser.

However, it is a con that needs to be considered heavily.

Here’s why…

Internet advertising/analytics companies have been more on the dubious side since the dawn of the public Internet. That’s not to say all ad and analytics companies are terrible – but let’s face it… many are.Many ad and analytics companies are no strangers to using shady and underhanded tactics to drive sales, get leads, and generate profit. They often work hand-in-hand with Big Data (and even Big Tech), gathering, purchasing, and sharing user data.Yeah, well, System1 falls under the massive and broad umbrella of ad/analytic companies. However, from what I could find they haven’t done anything that explicitly says “We are tracking you.”This is good and all, but this doesn’t mean that this can’t happen in the future.What’s more is that this doesn’t mean this can’t happen – without users being made explicitly aware – in the future either.System1 is a company based in the US, which does not have friendly data privacy laws. So, if System1 were to collect telemetry/user data, nothing would really stop them from storing and using (selling, trading, etc) this data indefinitely.Additionally, companies get acquired all the time. The acquiring company doesn’t always follow the same user privacy practices that the asset company had in place — case in point is the Facebook acquisition of Oculus Overall, the Waterfox browser as a piece of software itself is respectable and not a “bad” pick as far as privacy goes.It has humble roots, and has been around as an “ethical” browser for over 10 years. It has proven trustworthy as an alternative browser – at least, in the past. Its classic version is a favorite among users that want to utilize legacy Firefox add-ons and NPAPI plugins.It’s also worthy mentioning one of the better maintained Firefox forks available out there, since it receive regular updates as the team behind Firefox rolls them out.(This differs from other forks such as Pale Moon, which has effectively become its own browser because it runs on a separate engine.)While the lack of mobile development can be a big issue for some users, I would say that the core of the issue with Waterfox is the company, System1, that is now behind it.Can we trust them? Will they try to pull the wool over our eyes? Will they slowly-but-surely attempt to integrate telemetry/user data collection into the browser over time? Only time will tell… and I think that this relative “unknown” doesn’t play well in Waterfox’s favor among many users in the privacy community.I doubt blame anyone for not wanting to use Waterfox because of the company that’s now behind it. After all, in that specific area, it’s not too different from Brave. Non-profits, such as Mozilla, can’t be bought.Ultimately, you’ll need to evaluate if you’re willing to trust System1 in the first place. This is especially true for users looking to move away from Mozilla Firefox due to the amounts of telemetry that can be found within the browser’s source code.

Final Words

Firefox also lost some of its popularity because of changes to the browser. Firefox has changed a lot over the past few years. NPAPI plugins were all but banished in when Firefox 52 was released. Firefox 57 (Quantum) brought a new look, a newly engineered browser engine and a new add-on architecture to replace the venerable XUL (XML User Interface Language).The XUL architecture was powerful, perhaps too powerful since it enabled add-ons to do pretty much anything they wanted, including to other add-ons, the browser core or even the underlying operating system. XUL (and XPCOM, Mozilla’s bridge between C++ and JavaScript) gave a vibrancy to the Firefox add-on ecosystem, but given the security implications it was axed in favour of the new WebExtensions mechanism.Such changes have their detractors, including, we dare say, the authors of the tens of thousands of addons that were broken by this change.
