I've tried both, they're pretty similar. I use Librewolf just because it's more popular and is listed on privacytests.org
@H2207 @original_reader Waterfox isn't bad, it works fast (it used to), but it was under the wing of System1. It has only recently been released from them.
System1? 🤔 what’s the story?
@MajesticElevator What, Waterfox?
Yea, what’s/who is System1 and why is it bad?

This doesn’t give that much context but thanks I guess
@MajesticElevator
System1 is an advertising company. Waterfox has been influenced by them. How can a browser that claims to be privacy-oriented be under an advertising campaign? It's as if Chrome suddenly started caring about user privacy.
The story is from '23 and I have no interest in Waterfox. I use Firefox with user.js - a custom configuration settings file taken from Github.
Alright, thanks!
