Publisher's Description
Waterfox is a 64-Bit version of Firefox. The Firefox source code is taken and compiled to run specifically for 64-Bit Windows computers. To make Waterfox stand out a bit more, it's compiled with optimizations so that it will run more efficiently and faster than just compiling Firefox as a 64-Bit program.

Miss leading on the All Versions of Windows Compatible. it's not.

Since G4 if your pc does not ahve Waterfox requires a SSE4.2 compatible CPU it will not work so it is not all versions of windows compatible....
Slug_Coordinator reviewed vG4.0.7 on Feb 11, 2022
If you have G3.2.6 (64-bit) dont bother upgrading till they fix G4.
Slug_Coordinator reviewed vG4.0.3.1 on Nov 30, 2021
The Automatic Update to this needs to not be activated during Installation, so you can keep current versions until the new builds are solid.

The Waterfox app could have been better than before and could have been too good but some missing points here in this app.
joaodav reviewed vG3.1.0 on Feb 22, 2021
In my own experience and needs of productivity, Firefox's costumization options and overall layout far exceeds its lack of performance in comparison to other browsers. I've been using mozilla/firefox since its inception. Anyway, i've been having problems with very slow or irresponsive firefox. So i started to test every other browser i could get my hands on for a week or so ago and it just confirmed that i can't work properly with a browser that, for instance, doesn't let me, fully, natively, and in a simple way, costumize the toolbars. It really baffles my mind how does chromium and other engines want to be taken serious with only 4 basic buttons on it's toolbar - it's an insult to any user. Waterfox did solve (not totally but pretty close) the performance issues that i've been having with firefox and it's as costumizable as the later. So, five stars of course.

Use PaleMoon or Waterfox, both good browsers. Firefox is going the way netscape did and AOL ruined it as they do most things. I wish they would bringback Netscape, that was a excellent browser. I think Firefox at one time was very good, but not any more...

Show Mozilla exactly how you feel about the way they've been running things over the past few years. Use Waterfox Classic!

Talk about fake news. 3.2 review wise. U kidding me? Edge and chrome are far worse than this. Waterfox allows me to access all those old add on's with no problems. Runs smooth as can be. Ignore the trolls and give this old school style browser a chance.

Unless Firefox goes back to allowing me to continue to use the Legacy Add-Ons i use for work and home I am sticking with Waterfox. This way I can enjoy both New and Old with one Browser and I dont have stuff just removed with no warning or automatically.

Pros: Not much change
Cons: You need a SSE4.2 Compliant Processor and Windows 10 to install it this is not as stated for all Windows Versions.
Bottom Line: Miss leading on the All Versions of Windows Compatible. it's not.
Slug_Coordinator reviewed vG5.0 Beta 4 on Sep 23, 2022
Pros: See comments ...
Cons: Waterfox requires a SSE4.2 compatible CPU
Bottom Line: Since G4 if your pc does not ahve Waterfox requires a SSE4.2 compatible CPU it will not work so it is not all versions of windows compatible....
Slug_Coordinator reviewed vG4.0.7 on Feb 11, 2022
Pros: None, to be found
Cons: It still will not load on Windows 7 Machines and if you have a older version of waterfox Installed like G3.2.6 (64-bit) it will mess it up. I use to love Waterfox buts the G4 has been nothing but a Nightmare to try to install it alone.
Bottom Line: If you have G3.2.6 (64-bit) dont bother upgrading till they fix G4.
Slug_Coordinator reviewed vG4.0.3.1 on Nov 30, 2021
Pros: None has tons of issues.
Cons: When Upgrading from G.3.2.6. it crashes during installation, once it does install
DRM's no longer work on TUBI, NETFLIX, SPECTRUMTV Online, Pluto. If you try to roll back the DRM is still no longer allowing Videos to play.
Netflix says OUTDATED Browser
The Feedback linnks and other lings in the Help About no longer work as well.
it's getting rushed too fast.
Bottom Line: The Automatic Update to this needs to not be activated during Installation, so you can keep current versions until the new builds are solid.

Pros: - as good as firefox, with better performance.
Cons: - still some performance issues in my own setup (it may have to do with the gecko engine, not waterfox's fault).
Bottom Line: In my own experience and needs of productivity, Firefox's costumization options and overall layout far exceeds its lack of performance in comparison to other browsers.

Pros: Fast and not loaded down with crap that you rarely use. Will allow installation of legacy addons and it works very well, I feel is just as good a Waterfox which is a very good browser. I would change to that but I hate all this change to this and that all the time. Palemoon is all I need, but waterfox is very good.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Bottom Line: Use PaleMoon or Waterfox, both good browsers. Firefox is going the way netscape did and AOL ruined it as they do most things. I wish they would bringback Netscape, that was a excellent browser. I think Firefox at one time was very good, but not any more...
psycros reviewed v2020.01 on Jan 26, 2020
Pros: All the benefits of the transitional v55 Firefox and security patches of the newer versions without all the other BS.
Cons: This could well be due to addons I'm running but occasionally WF gets a bit laggy, particularity when using Facebook services. A quick restart always seems to fix it.
Bottom Line: Show Mozilla exactly how you feel about the way they've been running things over the past few years. Use Waterfox Classic!

Pros: The best
Cons: nothing
Bottom Line: Talk about fake news. 3.2 review wise. U kidding me? Edge and chrome are far worse than this. Waterfox allows me to access all those old add on's with no problems. Runs smooth as can be. Ignore the trolls and give this old school style browser a chance.

Pros: If you used a lot of the previous Add-On's that Firefox dumped Waterfox allows you to use them once again. Waterfox is a hybrid of some features of Old and New Firefox with much better consistency.
You can do more customization to it and keep the layout with Classic Theme as you wish. Everything works without the AU TO Upgrades that Firefox went out of their way to hide and remove.
Waterfox is what use to make Firefox great,
Also they dont just render your Add-ons useless or remove them like Firefox did.
Cons: I've not found any con's with Waterfox. Infact I find things work better, Video, Watching Movies, My Cable TV online etc., it hasn't given any issues on my 7 Home PC's including 2 Mac's.
Bottom Line: Unless Firefox goes back to allowing me to continue to use the Legacy Add-Ons i use for work and home I am sticking with Waterfox. This way I can enjoy both New and Old with one Browser and I dont have stuff just removed with no warning or automatically.

Pros:
Cons:
Bottom Line: Ive found replacements now for all the extensions I lost on the FF changeover, and I have to say FF is a lot faster than it was before. Im back on FF now, Waterfox was a good stopgap solution for a while tho.
Sven123456789 reviewed v56.0.3 on Jan 17, 2018
Pros: good
Cons: really none
Bottom Line: With firefox jumping the shark with version 57, waterfox has nicely replaced it.
Aegis69 reviewed v55.2.0 on Oct 6, 2017
Pros: fast
Cons: Wont be updated after 56 likely
Bottom Line: Waterfox is all I wanted, I just wanted firefox to be fast and this is it. The future is unclear for this browser after FF57 comes out, but Ill stay on it as long as I can.
