Yesterday she complained it is sooooo slow, that even when typing in Word, that she can type a full sentence before the 2nd character even appears on the screen My daughter's laptop is a 2 year old ACER that has been getting slower, and slower, and slower. I can't Imagine anything worse than Google's Chrome or MS Edge and many people use those.This three year old appimage I am using is preforming better and using less resources than Firefox. As long as they have about:config to control telemetry I am fine with that. If you desire an alternative that does not come from the Mozilla Foundation, Opera or Brave is another great choice.Jymm wrote: ⤴ Wed 7:51 AZgl1500 - all these independent browsers need to make money to survive. Firefox itself still outperforms it in several areas. Waterfox can be downloaded on most platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, and even Android on the Google Play Store. Perhaps, with more collaborators, it could live up to its potential, since it is still accessible for the casual user. However, this sort of thing doesn’t excuse its flaws. There is a reason for that very few people work on Waterfox. It's not any more powerful, nor ethical, than Firefox. Waterfox’s worst flaws include its underwhelming HTML5 support when compared to Firefox. In the browser’s subreddit, which the site links to instead of a support page, several big issues can be found by critical users. You might say that this program isn’t as powerful as other alternatives. So, in that regard, all that differentiates one “fox” browser from another is that Waterfox has several privacy options turned off by default while Firefox has them on. However, Firefox already has the option to disable sending data. When talking “ethics”, it means that no data is sent to the Waterfox project or to Mozilla, which does sound like an important step forward. Waterfox tells you upfront that it wants to be an ethical and powerful browser however, it doesn’t do so. The consensus seems to be that Waterfox has infrequent updates, and is not yet the powerful browser it says it is.
