Waterfox G6.6.3 (6th Generation)/ 2022.11 Classic

Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. This 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. Therefore that it will run more efficiently and faster than just compiling Mozilla Firefox as a 64-Bit program.

Waterfox focuses on giving users choice while also helping make the world a better place. It is partners with Ecosia, a search engine that plants trees with its generated revenues. The browser itself is focused on power users, which lets you make the important decisions.

There is no plugin whitelist, you can run whichever extensions you like and absolutely no data or telemetry will be send back to Mozilla or the Waterfox project.

This web browser is based on the current stable Firefox build, which means it functions in exactly the same way. Aside from its name on the menu at the top of the main window, there’s nothing to differentiate it from Firefox. Waterfox shares your Firefox settings, so should you come to uninstall it. Don’t select the option to delete all personal information if you’re still using Firefox. And your add-ons and extensions work on any version of Firefox, on any platform!

What’s new in Version G6.6.3:

Fixes and improvements

Theming

• Resolved a long‑standing issue where Waterfox’s styles could “leak” into the web page area. Customisations now apply only to the browser interface, not to website content.
• Improved handling of theme colouring to prevent contrast issues.

• Smoother startup: automatic grouping now waits until your previous session has fully restored. It only applies to tabs you open after everything is loaded.
• Your existing tab order and groups are preserved at startup; nothing gets rearranged automatically.
• If you collapse your only tab group, you’ll still have a single ungrouped tab available. That tab won’t be pulled back into a group unless you choose to do so.

• Updated emoji support to Emoji 16.0.1 on platforms that don’t provide these characters natively, improving how newer emojis appear.

What’s new in Version G6.6.0:

• Vertical Tabs with optional Tree view
• Private Tab button next to New Tab
• Automatic Tab Grouping (configurable)
• New Tab wallpapers, optional search bar and weather
• Firefox profile import (bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, form data)
• WebGPU enabled; VP8/VP9 hardware acceleration for WebRTC
• JPEG XL support; improved MathML rendering
• Privacy‑friendly defaults (less promos, fewer speculative/remote fetches)
