Waterfox: Private Web Browser 1.1.6

* Due to popular demand, Startpage has now been changed back to the default search. (Note: If you have changed your default search provider manually, this will not affect you)
* All security fixes from Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2025-88

🔒 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.

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.
