'''Waterfox''' is a web browser which is based on what is now the [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]] browser. This 64-bit web browser is designed with one main thing in mind—speed.  Some people use it for this reason alone, while others use it because they are trying to avoid [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]] for political and religious reasons.

The announcement was made almost two months later, as which time it was also stated that Alex would continue to work on developing the browser, but would no longer be he only developer.<ref>https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-has-joined-system1/</ref>
