Download Waterfox free here. An alternative browser from a well-known developer.
For many years, there have been two browsers who have ruled over the others. Namely, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, but now there is a new and highly competitive browser that might overthrow the rulers of the throne. Waterfox is developed by Mozilla, Proencryptor 1 2. which is probably best known for developing Firefox as well. But even though Waterfox at first glance looks like Firefox a lot, for example in terms of design, do not be mistaken. The difference between Waterfox and other browsers is, among other things, possible to associate with a proxy server directly from the browser - meaning you do not need to download a VPN to visit otherwise blocked websites.
Developed with experience
Whatever type of software we report, we are very aware of who has developed the product. Waterfox is developed by a developer who has been reputed for many years to create amazing products, and Waterfox is no exception. The reason for the development of Waterfox is that it is open source and aims to give users a private online experience.
To ensure that Waterfox reaches so wide a target audience, Mozilla has of course developed Waterfox for a variety of operating systems, as can be seen below.
Why Waterfox?
Open source and privacy online may not be tempting enough. Fortunately, Waterfox has some extras that similar browsers do not own as:
- Incredibly fast reading speed
- Automatic blocking of advertisements

- Popup Blocker
- Anonymous browsing using proxy connections
- Protection against viruses, spyware and other malware
Waterfox is undoubtedly a browser that has come to stay. It's lightning fast to read all kinds of websites. Next, you are ensured that all ads and popups are blocked and will not disturb you. In addition, you can find peace of mind that you are sure that no unauthorized person can keep an eye on what you are doing and you have adequate protection against security threats
Proxy Connection
What is a proxy connection actually?
A proxy connection serves as a kind of intermediary between your local IP address and a 'false' geographic location, also called a proxy server. When we say a 'false' geographical location, it's because this geographical location IP address can be located anywhere in the world, but in reality, the server is closer enough to you than you expect. The advantage of using a proxy server / connection is that your IP address has been changed and located elsewhere in the world. This makes it virtually impossible for unauthorized people to follow what you do when you browse the Internet. This means, for example, that if you've connected to a U.S. location proxy server, you can visit U.S. websites that are otherwise blocked from your Danish IP address. Then you have the opportunity to watch TV and serials on the American Netflix or other streaming services directly from your home address. Please note that there are Danish websites that require a Danish IP address to be visited so if you want to visit your e-Box, be sure to turn off your proxy connection.
Security
Waterfox has essential security features preinstalled in the browser, such as if you download a dangerous file, you get a warning and the browser then removes the file so your computer is not infected. Although Waterfox's security is surprisingly good, we always recommend a good antivirus program.
As said, Waterfox is quite new to the market, but already has great success, primarily because it is a different and in-depth browser, but also because Waterfox has an experienced developer behind it. Although Waterfox is a good browser, it may not be a browser for you. Our most downloaded browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. These are good reasons, as these browsers are also the most widely used worldwide. They individually have their various advantages and disadvantages, but in the vast majority of cases, it is a taste of which one you want to use. If you previously used either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, we think you should try Waterfox, as it brings some exciting extras. In addition, Mozilla has developed a synchronization option that makes it possible to import your bookmarks, passwords, etc. directly to Firefox from Firefox.
Conclusion
Waterfox is an exciting and incredibly interesting concept, as we were pleasantly surprised. We find Mozilla's fun to try out elsewhere and not just sit and develop on the already successful Firefox. Waterfox is an experiment that has worked and when you get used to Waterfox, you quickly miss the many extras when you need to use the other browsers.

Unfortunately Waterfox has been required to change its logo. The new logo harks back to previous Waterfox designs and encompasses everything that Waterfox is. Feedback from previous logos has also been taken into consideration and should be much more appealing to everyone. Enjoy!
