Comments on Waterfox: Private Web Browser for Android

★★★★★ D D · Jul 16, 2026

I found this browser by searching for forks of Firefox. Firefox seems to be less and less user-friendly. Water fox was easy to set up. The text and pictures are clear, and it is fast. I used Dark Mode with the extension Dark Reader for my eyes and extension uBlock Origin just in case Water fox needs a little privacy help. But maybe it doesn't. So far this has been a happy browser experience.

Rad that one can use all the old extensions from firefox. Nicely done gentlemen (and/or ladies).

★★★★☆ Pradyumna Kavatarapu · Jun 18, 2026

Firefox but all of Mozilla's telemetry stripped out, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is cuz their updates are slower than Firefox's forks on both Android and PC even if you compare them to browsers like Zen and Liberwolf.

★★★★★ Tanvir Muktadir · Jul 11, 2026

Just spontaneous plus some working add-ons support. Can we get the Firefox s add-on glory here on Android? 🤗

★★☆☆☆ Ernest Philyaw · Aug 18, 2026

Still having to go into settings to delete all browsing history, because the delete on quit still doesn't work right. I have it set to delete everything on quit, next time I use the browser, my browsing history is still there!

Qwant is not a privacy search engine. Many bad defaults.

★☆☆☆☆ Phil Simpson · Jul 10, 2026

For the love of God man. I'm writing this review for the desktop Windows version since you would never respond or listen on the Reddit. Stop re-enabling tab privacy containers after every update. I am tired of having to delete all of them and turn the setting back off. And usually the first time it doesn't even stick. I delete them and turn it off, close the browser and reopen it, and they are back, and it's turned back on, and I have to do it again. If I've turned it off stop turning it back on.

The debug/secret menu does not populate or appear after tapping the Water fox logo multiple times. It says that it's enabled, but it never appears.
