People should be free to do what they like within their browser. I’ve touted Waterfox as an ethical and privacy friendly browser. Finally, another USP for Waterfox, along with speed (which was becoming a little harder to keep going). I completely understood their decisions in doing so, and decided this would be another area Waterfox would branch into by keeping support. In the meanwhile Mozilla decided to drop support for XPCOM extensions and switch to fully supporting WebExtensions. Customise-ability Ī few years later, and Waterfox was coasting along as usual. On a positive note though, it got me out in the press (even some big publications such as The Telegraph!) and I even received a reward from The Duke of York for my efforts. Unfortunately it all fell through, but that’s a story for another time. That led down the path I’m sure quite a few will be familiar with. There, I decided to see if I could make a living from Waterfox after I left university - so in my first year I approached the careers department and asked them for help. I kept up with that on and off while at university.
From there, I took it upon myself to take it a step further and make Waterfox fast in any way possible - that was my introduction to toolchains and masochism (Intel’s C++ compiler… what more can I say).
Waterfox amassed a large following because it was easy access to a 64-Bit build of Firefox. From there, I decided to share my exploits over at.
WATERFOX SEARCH ENGINE HOW TO
Well written, easy to follow and (from what I remember) not many missing pieces as to how to do things.
It was a way for me to understand how large software projects worked and the Mozilla documentation was a great introduction. Waterfox now has funding and a development team, so Waterfox can finally start to grow! A Little Bit of Background The Beginning
