This also goes hand in hand with the code signing. The other projects, who are you really going to hold accountable if things go wrong? To me this is super important because a browser is used for sensitive information. GDPR, CCPA, the rest are things that actually need to be followed. Laws must be abided and the end user actually has an entity to hold accountable. That used to be Waterfox Limited, then it was System1 and now BrowserWorks (the entity I control). There is (and has been since 2012) a legal entity behind Waterfox. The most important one that I believe, maybe apart from Pale Moon, only Waterfox does, is offers accountability.There are 3rd party tools out there, but IMHO that brings in its own set of problems, and breaks the chain-of-trust. Librewolf does not provide auto-updates.Checksum's are all well and good, but IMO, not enough. Waterfox provides signed binaries for download.Now, ignoring feature differences between all the forks out there, I'd like to present a different perspective and consideration that I think gets overlooked when comparing forks like Waterfox to other forks (if I am incorrect regarding Librewolf, someone please correct me). This is a day before Mozilla, but mostly because Mozilla spend a day or two doing QA. If you cannot select text in the search bar with the mouse cursor please go to about:config, set to false and restart the browser.I've made sure security updates have now been available ASAP for quite a while now.We have investigated but have been unable to find a work around or fix so far. Upgrading to G5 resets custom container tabs in certain situations.The status bar colour now matches the navigation bar.Drag space is now disabled by default (that extra space above your tabs, so you can drag the window around).Wait for a few seconds, then re-check the box. If it's not working straight away, you can update the DRM plugin by going to the Preferences page → General → Files and Applications and un-check "Play DRM-controlled content". Issue playing Netflix and similar DRM protected websites have now resolved. You can disable or modify this by going to the Preferences page → Look & Feel. Waterfox's custom look and feel now applies to all themes by default.
