    I am not sure what is happening, but clicking the link (the topic title) will just reopen this again. And there is no text body or image or link otherwise.

      It’s not a link, it’s a text post with nothing but title.

    According to its wikipedia page, WaterFox is owned by an advertising company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfox

      Crazy to link the page but not read the relevant parts.

      In December 2019, System1, an advertising company which portrays itself as privacy-focused,[19] acquired Waterfox.[20][21] In July 2023, Alex Kontos announced that Waterfox had been turned into an independent project again.[22]

        My apologies, I was on mobile. Thank you for including it.

      I was once on waterfox, but there was a weird happening a few years ago where they split it into a classic version and a newer fork, and the difference was something to do with ads and the browser’s interaction with them (the extensions that adblockers relied on, I think, from memory). I stayed on the classic for a little while before jumping to librewolf now.
