  Thanks. I read an article yesterday about how it’s one of the best privacy browsers out there.

    I prefer either TorBrowser or Waterfox.

    TorBrowser is, hands down, the best privacy browser out there but it’s a bit slow because it operates like a decentralized VPN.

    Waterfox browser is built on Mozilla’s Gecko Engine just like firefox, but it isn’t managed directly by Mozilla.

      I was about to make a snarky comment about how it is, however, owned by an advertising company, but then I found this.

      I haven’t heard of waterfox. I use TorBrowser sometimes. But mostly I use LibreWolf. Its based on Firefox also, but without Monzilla

      Is waterfox compatible with all or most firefox extensions? Also, can you import a firefox profile, and share between devices? I’m fairly invested in firefox, and would hate loosing functionality

        I don’t use very many extensions, but it works with all of the ones I’ve tried such as uBlock Origin.

  Chinese Mafia aside, opera GX sill benchmarks faster than any other browser, except maybe thorium
