This browser is very similar to Firefox in more than just cosmetic ways.  It uses Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine and much of the same base code.  If something different from [[Firefox]] is desired, Waterfox may not be the solution.  Waterfox also uses many of the same resource directories as Firefox, which can be a problem if something has been corrupted in one browser's data. Waterfox also has some occasional errors which Firefox does not, usually when playing video content.  Another issue a small number of people may encounter, is that Waterfox is only available for 64-bit [[operating system]]s; this means that it will not work on some computers, especially older ones. Lastly, Waterfox is now owned by System1, which is a marketing firm.<ref name="ghacks">https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/14/waterfox-web-browser-sold-to-system1/</ref><ref>https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-has-joined-system1/</ref>
