It's meta-search. A decent idea, but still relies on other search engines. A bit misleading. UI is fucking *\ mint * tho.

To be fair, it was introduced as meta-search in the Waterfox changelog where it was publicized.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, some people might not realize that they're still using Google.

Now we just need Earthfox and Airfox, so we can have our own Avatarfox.

Essentially. Waterfox is a Firefox "fork" (a reimagined version of Firefox using its original source code) Unlike Firefox, Waterfox is more privacy focused with no telementary and a built in tracker blocker.

I use it for the default interface customizations and tree-style sidebar. I personally don't care that much about the very basic level of Firefox's telemetry, but yes, Waterfox bundles the Betterfox config to shut down trackers plus overall just make itself faster.
