    Worth noting that Waterfox was acquired by System1, an advertising company. While I've seen no evidence that this has affected the browser itself yet, I'd be a bit concerned about the incentives this creates. https://system1.com/press/system1-welcomes-waterfox https://system1.com/press/system1-welcomes-waterfox

      Yeah. Also I don't think most Firefox forks take security seriously. Jumping like this is like jumping into a house on fire because your finger got burned.
