I can't trust firefox these days, obviously not for privacy since they started telemetry, but not even for security (which was the main reason to use them) after the extension incident (which also affected tor browser!). If they can't keep 1 certificate up to date then how can they be trusted to keep any up to date?
Anyways, waterfox seems to be the first "telemetry-free" browser I've used that doesn't break sites or isn't severely out of date. Icecat breaks sites, ungoogled chromium is still built off google code, and pale moon is so fucking out of date its not funny.
There is only one thing that concerns me though - the first time you start waterfox after installing, it pings a long list of websites which is what i am assuming is a network test - but why? I haven't noticed any other outgoing traffic after the initial bootup, but the first startup does concern me - I still use it daily regardless because I don't see any other logical alternative.
Do you trust it? trustless browsers are pretty busted up these days, because the nu-web does everything that leaves them behind (JS, remote fonts, abstracting code so that it only runs with proprietary measures implimented etc.)
sorry for the long post bros, i have adhd and talk a lot.
Do you trust waterfox?

almost forgot, pale moon has a more up-to-date version:
basilisk-browser.org
Ryan Wilson
Pale Moon is not outdated in any way that actually matters.
Henry Torres
the interface is taken from a more recent version of Firefox than Pale Moon, but the underlying browser code is the same. Only difference I remember is that Basilisk has support for Encrypted Media Extensions enabled.

Developer abandoned it after being contacted by Firefox lawyers apparently. There's a community fork going on at gitlab.com
