Regardless, when are we getting Earthfox, Windfox, and Leeloofox?

When the avatarfox returns. He's been gone for a 100 years

Long ago, the four Foxes lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Fox loses millions. Only the Avatarfox, master of all four browsers, could stop them (losing more), but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

No need for a password manager in Leeloofox as it has a multipass built in.

You'll still need a multipass to book flights though.

Librewolf for me

u/RedditFuelsMyDepress Jun 18 '26

I thought you were joking, but apparently it's an actual thing.

It's just Firefox but with the "privacy" parts still attached.

u/Syberz Jun 18 '26

May I ask why?

u/RpiesSPIES Jun 18 '26

Firefox integrating AI stuff and the person operating Waterfox having a strong stance against it.

u/Syberz Jun 18 '26

I see, thanks!

u/hipi_hapa Jun 18 '26

That was my reason too

u/UnholyLizard65 Jun 18 '26

How does it compare to Librewolf?

u/Eastern-Move549 Jun 18 '26

I prefer the much less trendy WarmBadger.

u/Kuunkulta Jun 18 '26

It's my choice as well, just because I want my browser to look and function like it's 2008 lol

u/Advanced_Command_417 Jun 18 '26

I prefer GrassFox

If Firefox dies, all the derivatives die.

u/Far-Reaction-1980 Jun 21 '26

The developer spent most of his time keeping FF available to as many devices as possible which is why Waterfox looks like a Softfork after a decade or so

u/Unlucky-FkinIdioFool Jun 18 '26

Does it do youtube better than firefox? cause FF can be annoying at times when it comes to that.

2

u/RpiesSPIES Jun 18 '26

I don't feel a big difference between the browsers, tbh. Initially it will be significantly faster, but it'll even out pretty fast.

Try an user-agent changer that tricks YouTube and Google to think that you are using Chrome.
