    Essentially. Waterfox is a Firefox “fork” (a reimagined version of Firefox using its original source code) Unlike Firefox, Waterfox is more privacy focused with no telementary and a built in tracker blocker.

      I use it for the default interface customizations and tree-style sidebar. I personally don’t care that much about the very basic level of Firefox’s telemetry, but yes, Waterfox bundles the Betterfox config to shut down trackers plus overall just make itself faster.

      Ah, fork was the term I was looking for. Thanks.
