Now that Waterfox Classic has its own Github repository, users will be able to track and report issues related specifically to it. But more importantly, this will improve the development process of the browser, because previously, issues related to both versions were tackled together. Firstly, users who relied on it will get new versions. This is a welcome move for multiple reasons. The developer cites that it has been difficult to keep the browser up to date with the main project, which is why the two variants have been diverged. Kontos has confirmed that Waterfox Classic will continue to be supported, but it will exist as a separate open-source project from Waterfox G4. Waterfox Classic development will continue No wonder users started worrying, but if you were among them, you can rest assured that it is still being worked on. He had mentioned that its future depended on the ease of porting security fixes from Firefox ESR. So, five stars of course.Alex Kontos, the developer of the popular Firefox fork, had previously hinted that the Waterfox Classic version was not a priority. Waterfox did solve (not totally but pretty close) the performance issues that i've been having with firefox and it's as costumizable as the later. It really baffles my mind how does chromium and other engines want to be taken serious with only 4 basic buttons on it's toolbar - it's an insult to any user. So i started to test every other browser i could get my hands on for a week or so ago and it just confirmed that i can't work properly with a browser that, for instance, doesn't let me, fully, natively, and in a simple way, costumize the toolbars. Anyway, i've been having problems with very slow or irresponsive firefox. I've been using mozilla/firefox since its inception. Pros: - as good as firefox, with better performance.Ĭons: - still some performance issues in my own setup (it may have to do with the gecko engine, not waterfox's fault).īottom Line: In my own experience and needs of productivity, Firefox's costumization options and overall layout far exceeds its lack of performance in comparison to other browsers. ![]()
