Spyware Level: High

Waterfox is a fork of Firefox that claims to be more private and secure than Firefox. However, Waterfox contains telemetry and shares information about you with Mozilla, and has other spyware features.
Waterfox connects to spyware services when it is first run

If you start up Waterfox for the first time, it will make 109 requests[5] to several spyware platforms, most notably Google Analytics, and Mozilla online services like it's Geolocation service, and several other Mozilla services, as well as Waterfox's own update service. You can look at a list of these requests here or a on mirror here.
Waterfox has a communication problem

There has been some controversy over Waterfox's privacy policy[1]. At the time of writing, it claims that Waterfox sends "Webpage data to Google's SafeBrowsing service," meaning that at one point, both Google and Waterfox were spying on all of your internet activity. However, according to this reddit thread[2], this is no longer true: therefore, Waterfox's privacy policy does not necessarily reflect what information the browser currently collects. The lack of detail and clarity in the privacy policy is also very concerning. For example, in the abovementioned section titled "Webpage data to Google's SafeBrowsing service," there are links to a Firefox Knowledge Base article and Google's privacy policy, neither of which actually explain what data is sent by Waterfox to Google. If this were still accurate, it would have some serious privacy implications (and would certainly bump up the spyware rating of this program). An inaccurate and outdated privacy policy - i.e. one that does not correctly explain what information is being shared - is a serious red flag for any privacy-conscious user.
Waterfox "phones home" with information about your computer whenever you start it up

According to its privacy policy[1], Waterfox collects the following information by default:

Waterfox version
Operating system
Language settings
Installed Waterfox Add-ons

Waterfox shares this information with Mozilla and will collect this information every time you launch Waterfox.
Waterfox offers spyware search engines to it's users and uses Bing as it's default search engine

By default Waterfox is using the spyware search engine Bing. Why would a privacy-based Web Browser offer this search engine by default? The other offered search engines are not much better- we have the option of searching with Google, which also logs your internet searches, and Ecosia, which also logs your internet searches (but it gives them to Bing). Luckily there are some more private search engines offered, like StartPage and DuckDuckGo. What is concerning is the additude that the developer of waterfox has towards these spyware search engines:

"Bing is actually quite good for privacy as well (let's not forget Mozilla even suggested them as a more privacy focused search back in 2009)."[3]

It's very clear that while the browser advertizes itself as very privacy focused, the actual words and actions of the developers aren't consistent with this claim.
Waterfox sends all website notifications through Mozilla's servers

If you enable notifications on a website, all of those messages will be sent through Mozilla's servers. According to Waterfox's privacy policy[1], Mozilla cannot see the content of said messages. However, Mozilla will receive the following information:

Number of Waterfox subscriptions and unsubscriptions to website notifications
Number of messages sent
Timestamps
Senders (which may include specific website providers)

So, Mozilla can see who is sending notifications, when these notifications are being sent, how many notifications are sent, and how many websites you have enabled notifications on. Waterfox collects all of the above, and additionally sees your IP address for each notification sent.
Waterfox is integrated into the "Firefox Accounts" spyware platform

The "Firefox Accounts" platform allows you to sync a lot of sensitive information, such as your internet history, across all of your devices. This is, of course, all being stored on Mozilla's servers.[4] This feature is opt-in spyware, but it should still be mentioned. If you don't want your internet history to be uploaded to Mozilla servers, don't use this feature.
Waterfox is self updating software

Self updates are a spyware feature since they are usually ways for the developer of a program to put spyware into their software without presenting it in a prominent way where the user can understand what they are giving up when they download the update. Given Waterfox's bad communication, this is especially likely to happen.

hi, the EME-free versions come with DRM-support disabled by default - some more information about how drm is handled within firefox is at https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/reconciling-mozillas-mission-and-w3c-eme/

and yes, win64bit versions of firefox come with limited support for npapi-plugins, only flash and silverlight will run in those firefox 64bit versions. if you depend on java still, then please stick with regular firefox 32bit builds which will support those plugins still for the coming months... https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

Mozilla выражает озабоченность по поводу того, что прошлая доля рынка IE составляет 98%, но когда я ищу Лиса, я нахожусь на Bing, принадлежащем MS, и о котором я не просил?
AVG не любит hola, ebay для firefox и загрузчика видео и теперь мешает им работать, что я могу сделать?
я не могу получить доступ к основным веб-сайтам
Важно: Лиса заканчивается поддержкой Windows XP и Виста
Настройте брандмауэры, чтобы Лиса мог получить доступ к Интернету.
Как создать скриншот моей проблемы?

hi, версии без EME поставляются с отключенной поддержкой DRM по умолчанию - дополнительная информация о том, как drm обрабатывается в firefox, находится по адресу https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/reconciling-mozillas-mission-and- w3c-EME /

и да, win64bit версии firefox поставляются с ограниченной поддержкой npapi-plugins, только flash и silverlight будут запускаться в этих 64-битных версиях firefox. если вы все еще зависте от java, тогда, пожалуйста, придерживайтесь стандартных 32-битных сборок firefox, которые будут поддерживать эти плагины еще в ближайшие месяцы ... https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins- в-светлячок /

Лень расписывать, Главмун с утра накидал:
Pale Moon 28 and extensions
>To re-iterate and clarify the situation with extensions on Pale Moon 28, I'd like to announce the following:

With Mozilla having abandoned all XUL overlay, bootstrap and jetpack extensions, it is up to independent effort to keep this ecosystem alive.
While it is our intention to keep compatibility with (unaltered) Firefox extensions high, Pale Moon (now more so than ever) is considered a different application and as such needs application-specific extensions for it.
While the upcoming milestone release of Pale Moon 28 has lifted all restrictions in terms of version range and the further restriction on jetpack specifically for extensions that do not target Pale Moon specifically, they are not supported by us and there is no guarantee that they will work unaltered.

It is the position of the Pale Moon Project that unless the extension directly supports and targets Pale Moon, all Firefox extensions are considered to be unsupported and at the user's own risk. We will no longer impose any restriction upon them, nor any further effort be made to cater to them. What you see is what you get, and your mileage may vary. If a Firefox-targeting extension does not work or work fully on Pale Moon 28, it will have to be the extension that has to change to remedy that.

Any effort in the name of extensions on Pale Moon must continue forward as Pale Moon extensions via forking the Firefox extensions (license permitting) or bringing the developers across to our neck of the woods to target Pale Moon directly. In many cases, adjustments to extensions needed to target Pale Moon and making them Pale Moon extensions will be minimal, but a concerted effort must be made to specifically target the application.

This announcement is not a practical change from the current status quo, but a clarification and reminder of it.

As an extra reminder: Pale Moon's supported extension technologies are XUL based (either overlay, bootstrapped or using the deprecated jetpack libraries), and WebExtensions are not and will not be supported by Pale Moon in any way, shape or form.
