Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default “junk” that Firefox comes with.
Don’t see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

I like Waterfox, I used it for a long time as my main until I became more serious about privacy.
I suggest Waterfox to normal people who need a browser that “Just Werks” and that doesnt have bloat/telemetry, because i can NOT bring myself to tell them to download vanilla Firefox with all the bloat and telemetry and crap shoved into it.
but at the same time I’m not going to suggest LibreWolf because many things break on it.
