'''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.

Waterfox is a fast<ref>http://download.cnet.com/Waterfox-64-Bit/3000-2356_4-75575521.html</ref>, efficient browser.  The layout is also nearly identical to [[Mozilla Firefox]], so users familiar with Firefox should have an easy time adapting to Waterfox. It also uses many of the same resource directories as Firefox, which can be advantageous if a user wishes to switch between Firefox and Waterfox.  Both will use the same user profile, so history, favorites, addons, and settings will be shared between the two.  However, older addons which Firefox blocks are allowed to run on Waterfox.<ref>https://www.waterfoxproject.org/blog/waterfox-46.0-release-download</ref>
