Waterfox is an open source browser based on Firefox, first released in 2011 by Alex Kontos. Currently Waterfox is divided into two versions - Classic and Current (G4). Based on Firefox, Waterfox removes features such as data collection, telemetry, and startup analysis that affect user privacy.
Waterfox G4.1.0 is now released with the following updates:
