Private browsing with Firefox-style flexibility
Waterfox: Private Web Browser is an Android browser for people who want more control over their web activity and browser setup. Developed by BrowserWorks, it is based on the Gecko engine and focuses on privacy without giving up the add-on support associated with Firefox. It suits users who want a configurable alternative to mainstream mobile browsers, whether for everyday browsing or more privacy-conscious communication.
Privacy-focused features
Waterfox removes telemetry, sponsored content and built-in tracking services from its browser experience. It also includes protections designed to reduce exposure while browsing, including Site Isolation and DNS over HTTPS with Oblivious HTTP. These features can help limit how much browsing information is visible to websites, networks and internet service providers, although they do not make every online activity anonymous.
Add-ons and interface controls
A central part of Waterfox is its support for browser extensions. Users can install compatible add-ons from the Mozilla Add-ons store, use custom collections and, where supported, load extension packages directly. The browser also offers classic and modern menu layouts, giving users a choice in how controls are arranged. More advanced users can adjust additional settings through about:config, while the main interface remains suitable for normal mobile browsing.
