I agree it is a good browser without Firefox's telemetry. Requests #195 & #268

LGTM! Think it's a good idea
Waterox has been bought by system1, and updates are really slow. Waterfox is just another Firefox, but worst. It is just my point of view though. I opened an issue to add Librewolf, that is way better than Waterfox. |
So, it isn't the only software that releases updates slowly
I think Waterfox is better since it's based on firefox, and has a similar ui to it.
Waterfox isn't bloated, in fact, against other browsers in the script (brave...) are more bloated than waterfox. Also water fox is soooooo private. It actually asks you if you want to switch to Startpage for default. (also, just a reminder, system1, owns not only Waterfox, but also start page, so don't think there google.)
I think you are wrong.
Convinience:
You said it, if you know Firefox, you are at home with Waterfox. Security:
Not really... You are just gaining a secure and private Browser without having to worry about Mozilla
You know we can put both. |
Librewolf is exactly the same. Based on last Firefox. Same UI. Actual version is 98.0.1 and we have updates in the day (or 3 days after).
I explained wrong. I don't think WF is bloated (but yeah Brave is...) but WF is little tweaked compared to LW, and I didn't think you could bother to put WF on the script (in my opinion). But yeah as you said, we can put both, and it would be great tbh.
When I said that, I meant that telemetry is disabled by default and you have slow updates. With Librewolf, you have a lot good features enabled by default and "bad" features disabled by default and slow updates (well, in the day or 3 days late max). For LW there's a lot of good tweaks compared to WF.
For me, Waterfox is just some tweaks, that you can already do in the settings of FF. And Librewolf enables all RFP, ETP, and privacy features, disables Google Safe Browsing and Mozilla related (I don't say it is for everyone though).
You're completely right, it would be really awesome tbh. |
Btw, if you want to add button for another soft. You need to shift every others button (from what I understand from the script) |
Yhea, this is up to @ChrisTitusTech or guys like that since that is waaaay more fundamental |
Also @d4rklynk If you want open a PR to add LibreWolf... You said you just put and issue? |
Yeah I just put an issue, I can add a PR maybe. Or we can edit this one to ask for WF and LW ? |
Not a fan of waterfox |
