Can you explain what burned you? I imagine many of us are trying to sift through the raft of alternatives, and waterfox is a frequent mention, so data about pros and cons is valuable.

For what it's worth, Waterfox has issues with the mozilla addon store at the moment. I was planning on Firefox Sync'ing everything over to my waterfox install, then deleting my account, but it's unable to install and reconfigure my shitload of plugins I'm using.

I've noticed that it's trivial to install addons directly from their xpi packages on GitHub release pages.

if i remember right, it was ages ago, they were bought out by 'advertiser friendly' company.

I'm as advertiser hostile as i can be as i find that whole industry to be a cancer upon this earth.
