Waterfox 6.6.14 for desktop and Waterfox 1.2.4 for Android are now rolling out to all users! If you’d like to support continued Waterfox development, please consider signing up for Waterfox Private Search. search.waterfox.com

I've only been using the paid search service by @waterfox.net for a week, and I can already tell it's worth every penny. I've had three specific things I needed to find, and Waterfox search got me what I needed within two clicks for each. Highly recommend for de-enshittified search.

The built-in adblocker is a really nice feature!

In an internet world being overrun by tech bro billionaires hell bent on force feeding us ai slop to milk us for even more money, we have to actively support an alternative. The work Alex Kontos is doing with @waterfox.net is worth supporting, and as of today I'm doing just that.

Waterfox 6.6.13 is rolling out! Auto-updates to follow soon... Big changes - the built-in ad blocker is now available to use, and Startpage has been temporarily replaced with 1.org (a charitable search engine). Plus, tracking protection fixes and web compat work. www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...

So, anyway. I recommend @waterfox.net

To anyone uninstalling Chrome today over anti-AI sentiments, please remember the Mozilla Foundation has also made a commitment to integrate AI into Firefox. Please consider @waterfox.net or any other FOSS fork of Firefox instead ❤️

I knew this was coming someday. Thanks for spreading the word.

And so it begins. Chrome is shipping a Prompt API - giving websites access to the browser's built-in LLM. This is the scope creep I wrote about... websites can now pass your page content, inputs and browsing context to an AI baked into the browser itself. groups.google.com/a/chromium.o...

Waterfox v6.6.11 is rolling out over the next few days! Testing a new feature that I'd love to get your feedback on - please try it out and let me know how it goes: www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...

Happy 15th birthday Waterfox! 🎂 www.waterfox.com/blog/15-year...

Tomorrow marks a special day for Waterfox…

Waterfox 6.6.10 and Waterfox for Android 1.2.2 are now rolling out! → Desktop brings security fixes and Discord compatibility improvements. → Android updates to Gecko 149 and fixes an issue with deleting data on quit.

Waterfox has been on it.

Waterfox 6.6.9 is out: Security fixes, certificate reliability improvements on Linux, and faster JPEG-XL decoding 🌊 www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...

Waterfox for Android 1.2 has now been submitted to the Play Store for review! A lot of under-the-hood changes that took quite a bit of effort. Separately, APKs are also available from the GitHub release page 👇 www.waterfox.com/releases/and...

@waterfox.net switched from @firefox.com because of the AI stuff and tracking in firefox, and waterfox is so much better, it feels like debloated firefox amazing browser

macOS 26.3 just dropped and with it, Apple’s iCloud Passwords extension now works with Waterfox!

A short interview with me: www.quippd.com/writing/2026...

This is why I drew a line in the sand. The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency. A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you.

Waterfox 6.6.8 is out: manually unload tabs from the tab menu, passkeys on macOS, JPEG XL improvements and Windows builds now include the required VS redist files for easier fresh system installs 👇 www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...

2025 was a big year for Waterfox! Waterfox encrypted and anonymised over 105 billion DNS requests as part of our free Oblivious DNS service - that's an average of ~3,300 requests a second - with peaks of over 6,000 R/s!

Ok, here's my update after just 30 minutes. I'm a person who values: - control. - privacy. - a browser being a browser. I don't need my browser to make me toast and coffee in the morning, suggest things to me, build my ego, or anything else. So, @waterfox.net and I are going to get along great.

Waterfox 6.6.7 is now rolling out to all users 👇 www.waterfox.com/releases/6.6...

Linux users, Waterfox is now verified on Flathub! The store listing will be updated pending approval. Waterfox 6.6.7 will release tomorrow, which includes translation updates, a HDR fix for YT videos on Linux and a bug fix for Windows users who are unable to import their profile data from Firefox

I've used it for years & satisfied with it. It's a fork so extentions work & bookmarks are straight import. @waterfox.net recently put up a statement about Mozilla's direction & the use of AI

May I suggest @waterfox.net ?

Very cool! I’m switching from Firefox to Waterfox today 👍

There is a whole menu of browsers out there. You should be able to choose the one you want.

With @mozilla.org CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo wanting to turn @firefox.com into an "AI browser", I think it's time to find an alternative. This direction he wants to take Firefox in genuinely disgusts me and is abhorrent. Looks like @waterfox.net is a viable alternative.

If you don’t already know @waterfox.net, it’s worth getting to know them better... www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h... #Waterfox #Firefox #Mozilla #AI #Privacy

Goodbye @firefox.com, hello @waterfox.net. The trust-first Firefox we came to know feels like it’s fading. User choice matters, but so does knowing when to stop chasing trends. #Firefox #Mozilla #AI #Waterfox #Privacy

You might've convinced me to move over to Waterfox. I've used Firefox for many, many years.

due to current events i have now officially swapped to waterfox is very nice :3

It is beyond frustrating to me that the only alternative to Chromium is currently doing its best to try shoot itself in the foot. I've been using Firefox for most of my life, and to see a fumble like this when they're already on their backfoot is disappointing. Just switched to WaterFox instead.

I have unfortunately heard this morning about Firefox selling out to slop central 😠, so tonight when I get home from work I'm going to switch to Waterfox (a browser I've heard many people say works better and their devs have a strict no-AI stance 😉 👏 ) - time to put out the fire 💧 🔥

Another alternative in case anyone else is mad about Firefox going to the dark side.

Waterfox is a free and opensource browser based on Firefox with all LLM or AI stuff removed. This might be the replacement. Repo github.com/BrowserWorks... Home page www.waterfox.com Blog post www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h...

Waterfox: Firefox without the AI bloat. Free, open-source, and refreshingly focused on just being a browser. waterfox.com

Waterfox has been my browser of choice in 2025 and if it continues to lack the bloatware pestering the alternatives then I will keep using it for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your good work ❤️

Some thoughts on Mozilla's trajectory and Waterfox's stance on AI in the browser 👇 www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h...

To coincide with the auto-update of v6.6.6, Waterfox has now migrated to a new website and domain! There's also an Easter egg on the homepage 🐱 🌐 www.waterfox.com

A (not so) devilish release 👹. Waterfox 6.6.6 brings with it a multitude of fixes, tweaks and privacy enhancements! Get it while it's hot (or until it auto-updates) 👇 www.waterfox.net/docs/release...

New Waterfox updates are rolling out! On desktop, `6.6.5.1` brings a reversion to the default search (your modified choice remains untouched) and proper unloading of tree tabs when not in use. This should mean lower background memory usage and less conflicts with other tab extensions.

Since my last OS install I'd lazily just used the already installed FF, but looks like it's time to switch back to @waterfox.net waterfox.net

All my Linux laptops use @waterfox.net It's Firefox ESR with all the telemetry and other objectionable junk turned off. And it works with a global menu bar, which Firefox doesn't any more.

Me personally, I like @waterfox.net -- it works with global menu bars properly, too.

Waterfox 6.6.5 adds Ukrainian as a UI language, a new quality-of-life feature and the latest security fixes 👇 waterfox.net/docs/release...

@waterfox.net 👍

Time to give @waterfox.net a try.
