What's new in Waterfox: Private Web Browser 1.2.5

New default search engine
We've replaced the temporary Yahoo default with Qwant, a privacy-focused search engine (DuckDuckGo in some regions). If you used the bundled default search, you'll see a one-time notice about the change — you can switch anytime in Settings > Search. If you already chose your own engine, nothing changes.

Updated to Firefox 152 for the latest security and stability fixes.

About Waterfox: Private Web Browser 1.2.5

🔒 True Privacy by Design
Waterfox Android is completely rebuilt from the ground up with privacy as the foundation. Zero telemetry, no data collection, no sponsored content, and no tracking of any kind. We've created dummy versions of tracking services to maintain compatibility while protecting your privacy.

• Direct installation from addons.mozilla.org
• Custom AMO collections support
• Install extensions from .xpi files
• No restrictions, no redirects

🛡️ Enhanced Security Features
• Site Isolation (Fission) enabled

🎛️ Complete Customization

Why Waterfox Android?
We've solved the constant breakage problem that plagued previous versions by moving to ESR and compiling everything ourselves. This means stable, fast, private browsing without compromise.

Perfect for users who want Firefox-level functionality without the privacy concerns, tracking, or performance limitations of mainstream browsers.
