What's new in Waterfox: Private Web Browser 1.2.4.1

• Removed Startpage at Startpage’s request. This change was not our choice; other search providers have not approved being set as the default, so Yahoo is currently the default search engine.
• Fixed What’s New so it stays hidden after you read the release notes.
• Improved custom wallpaper handling.
• Updated to Gecko 151 with upstream fixes and improvements.
• Includes security fixes from MFSA 2026-46.

About Waterfox: Private Web Browser 1.2.4.1

🔒 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.

⚡ Maximum Performance
Unlike other browsers using pre-built components, we compile everything from scratch - Android Components, Gecko, and SpiderMonkey - with advanced compiler optimizations (-O3) for faster browsing and better battery life.

🧩 Full Add-on Freedom
• Browse and install from the entire Mozilla Add-ons store
• 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
• Enhanced DNS over HTTPS with Ultra Protection mode using Oblivious HTTP
• ESR (Extended Support Release) base for rock-solid stability
• about:config access for power users

🎛️ Complete Customization
• Privacy-first search engines (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Mojeek, Qwant)
• Customizable menu designs (classic and modern)
• JPEG-XL image support
• No review prompts or forced feedback

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.
