Give it to me straight, Sup Forums, is Waterfox a meme browser or is it a genuine alternative?
I've been on chromium on Linux for a while, but my non-PC profile keeps on getting ((corrupted)) for some strange reason.
Other browsers I've tried: > Icecat: So "free" I can't find a way to use a normal website. > Firefox: Mozilla is SJW converged. > Brave: Cool browser, but shamelessly planning to sell your data. > Vivaldi: Spyware > Opera: Chinese spyware > Jewgle Chrome: No explanation necessary > Iridium: Possibly German spyware
Sadly it is also made by people who have opinions about things that you may not agree with. You're just going to have to write your own web browser.

No idea why people use that piece of shit browser. Its so badly optimized its hard to find something that is equally shit. Simple browsing chugs 30% of my CPU while Nightly 56 hardly ever goes beyond 7% with 6 tabs and 3 windows open.

*60 tabs

The only redpill browser here is Pale Moon, though Waterfox is a reasonable alternative.

What makes Pale Moon stand out?

you dont need that many open faggot

They want you to be in control of your own browser.
Other Firefox-derived browsers aren't true forks like Pale Moon. Therefore, when Firefox drops XUL support later this year, those browsers will be forced to either fork or follow Firefox. It's unlikely these browsers have the resources to fork their code, so Pale Moon will be the only browser capable of real *extensibility*.
WebExtensions don't even allow for things like file interaction, or a million other things that are available to XUL extension developers. Extensions like NoScript and others need special allowance and implementation from Google, which isn't an option for 99% of extension developers.

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, it really helps :)

Thats why its fucking dumb to base what you use over politics you mongoloid, on every dev team there will be someone who you disagree with.
Gabriel Morris
>on every dev team there will be someone who you disagree with
If you could tell the difference between a dick and an arsehole, you would distinguish between systemic corruption and normal human disagreement.
I want to get away from products made by organisations that will fire good developers for illegitimate reasons and eviscerate someone's data for no good reason.
After you finish reading it, please do everyone a favour and fucking KYS
Ethan Green
>So "free" I can't find a way to use a normal website. the fuck are you talking about? I've never EVER had any issues in that regard, because it's not a fork but just Firefox ESR with privacy
also, there's ungoogled chromium, works great
Andrew Scott
Even when I turn off all the protections I can't even get the login widget on asana.com or log in to YouTube.
Cooper Garcia
now that you mention it, you do indeed need to deactivate all their addons, they're not quite ready and there are better alternatives
I can login to youtube, are you sure it isn't related to umatrix?
Nolan Thompson
Where are you even getting that I'm defending google or microsoft for shady business practices? Is your brain that fried from shitposting? All that I said is that it's retarded to cry over mozilla because of sjw when every dev team is plagued by them
Mason Myers
i use waterfox only for CTR because i hate the burger menu and on firefox you cant hide it
Jaxson Clark
Firefox sync is too damn convenient to change away from Waterfox to Pale Moon. Fuck.
Kayden Myers
How do I use Icecat?
Owen Green
it is slightly better than firefox because it comes with telemetry and google botnet removed Use Pale Moon which is a completely better version of mozilla firefox
Ryan Stewart
anybody use cyberfox?
Jackson Mitchell
Why would anyone use a zombie?
Adam Perry
care to elaborate?
Cooper Bell
>not for gnu/linux
James Fisher
just installed waterfox and loaded up some of my favorite add-ons from firefox. seems legit so far, it's nice to use a fork that seems to care about privacy.
that being said, i haven't dug through about:config to see what telemetry bullshit might still be lurking.
Brandon Harris
really, do you mean bot zombie or dead development, because it could go either way..
Daniel Hall
>picking a browser based on identity politics whats wrong with amerifats?
Lucas Ortiz
looks like waterfox still has some google "safebrowsing" BS enabled, as well as a handfull of other bonehead stuff (media.navigator.enabled = true by default for christ's sake...).
i'm glad there is no pocket and stuff, but why did the dev stop halfway?
Ethan Thompson
waterfox exists because firefox doesnt have a 64bit at that time
now waterfox is pretty much useless at this point
Thomas Robinson
What's wrong with Iridium?

>meme >redpilled
These are synonymous so your question is nonsensical.
Dylan Fisher
you need them if you are fapping
Lincoln Baker
It's better than palememe but at the end of the day Firefox is our last hope at modern performance.
While mozilla is sjw what tech company isn't?
At least mozilla is upfront about the firefox source and project and they allow you to change anything in userspace without requiring recompiling like with chrome.
When you look at the competition there really is no choices.
Even if you choose to use waterfox you still depend on firefox's codebase.
Like them or not they are spreading open web standards and it's not like you are paying them for a product.
Liam King
You reek of Sup Forums, maybe you should go back there or stop spewing (()) SJW redpill etc. I use WaterFox and its genuinely good, recent update introduced some features I wasn't used to before but its fine. It's a lot faster than FF on my machine(tm).
Logan Hall
Except they're not actively blocking content Soros doesn't want you to see.
Brandon Diaz
Just build an degoogled chromium you fucking idiot
Never post this shit girl again

>he doesn't know
you fell for Sup Forumss fake news kid the soros thing wasnt true mozilla doesnt even have a project created yet they were only talking about a idea for a project and it wasnt related to the firefox project in any way
Noah Rodriguez
Firefox nightly is far and away the most comfy browser.
>ublock origin >uMatrix >HTTPS Everywhere >ViolentMonkey >Compact Dark theme
It's the best browsing experience you can get right now desu. The only extensions I'm still waiting on to be ported to webextensions are private tab and a global dark mode one, but both have plans to be ported.
Daniel Collins
>mozilla doesnt even have a project created yet they were only talking about a idea for a project and it wasnt related to the firefox project in any way >this is fine
Ethan Roberts
>but CTR works with firecox too
John Smith
is it possible to ungoogle my chromium without using the different fork? I like using the binary from my package manager
Blake Peterson
this addon called "Hide caption titlebar" Plus removes it
Levi Cooper
>Icecat: So "free" I can't find a way to use a normal website.
whats wrong with having a 3rd party verify news souces?
the only issue you guys had was because you thought it involved soros and it doesnt
now you are trying to save face after people went on to spout the biggest bullshit people said it was already included in FF for instance
you guys spreading that crap made the perfect example of why we need more 3rd party sources to verify news sites
itll also stop the MSM from spreading fake news like muh russia for instance
Connor Parker
Waterfox is going to fork then apparently
Lincoln Evans
i keep getting this white margin every time i use nightly, currently using waterfox and it's pretty /comfy/
Jose Sullivan
What's wrong with Vivaldi and Brave?
Ryan Morgan
>whats wrong with having a 3rd party verify news souces? It will absolutely be politically biased. I'd rather not have someone censor stories based on their agenda, but you do you, friend. I'll continue to think for myself and come to my own conclusions.
Tyler Hill
that's really weird. I've never got any kind of border like that
Leo Jones
looks like a desktop window manager issue because im using borderless atm
Thomas Morgan
try to hide title bar
Evan Gutierrez
That looks like what happens when enable aero lite in windows 10.
Thomas Price
Stop being autistic. Brave, Vivaldi and Iridium all work fine and respect your privacy. The others I can't speak for, but they're probably fine too. Just pick one and stop complaining unless you have real evidence that your privacy is being breached.
Personally I thought Nightly was a meme till I tried it.
Quantum/Stylo/Electrolysis/Servo was a huge performance gain.
It's cool that they open their tech too so other browsers can incorporate Servo for instance.
Isaiah Morales
Back you go normalfag
Daniel Roberts
can someone explain this to lmao
Brandon Lopez
You reek of pleddit and tumblr yourself, so you are in no place to throw insults.
Brayden Hill
if i go to the customize page on nightly and set the density to normal the white margin disappears. But if it's on compact it shows the white margin again. I'll just leave it on normal until nightly ends up fixing it.
Julian Cruz
I don't see pale moon on there, so...
Jose Wood
pale moon is literally only good if you have a really shitty computer and you want a browser that uses very little memory. Otherwise, it's slower than pretty much everything.
Liam Hall
Oy...
Benjamin Williams
report it so it can be fixed in the next nightly patch this week
report your OS and if you use linux your DE/WM
Julian Fisher
OP just use palemoon
Carson Ross
You also forgot >coded by a furfag
