Ko te waehere puna Waterfox he whakarereketanga motuhake o te papaaho Mozilla, i hangaia mo te noho muna me te whiriwhiri a te kaiwhakamahi. Ka taea e koe te whakauru me te whakahiato Waterfox kaore he raru. Ko etahi atu whakarereketanga me nga papaa kei runga ake i te awa kua whakatinanahia ki te whakatika i nga take hototahi/haumarutanga ka takare pea a Mozilla ki te whakatinana (i te nuinga o te waa na te kore o te kaupapa matua). Ko nga ahuatanga tono teitei i tangohia e Mozilla engari e hiahiatia ana e nga kaiwhakamahi ka mau tonu (mehemea kaore e tangohia na te haumarutanga). Ka arotahi a Waterfox ki te tuku i nga whiringa ki nga kaiwhakamahi. E arotahi ana te kaitirotiro ki nga kaiwhakamahi hiko, ka taea e koe te whakatau i nga whakatau nui. Karekau he rarangi maama mono (te tikanga ka taea e koe te whakahaere i nga tono Java Applets me te Silverlight), ka taea e koe te whakahaere i nga taapiri e pai ana koe (tae atu ki nga taputapu bootstrapped ka taea te whakarereke i te mahi o te tirotiro) me te kore rawa he raraunga, waea waea ranei ka whakahokia ki a Mozilla, ki te kaupapa Waterfox ranei. Tirotiro te paetukutuku i to ara, me te kaitirotiro paetukutuku indie: No Telemetry, Kohinga Raraunga Iti, NPAPI monomai, Bootstrapped add-ons, Porohia to userChrome, Stable API.
Like Firefox, Waterfox wants people’s attention since their default search engine is paid for by the company that bought them a few months ago https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-has-joined-system1/ – System1 https://system1.com is specialized in advertising. Basically they are buying small search engines or browsers to inject their own search engines into them as default. Yes, anyone can fork this project since it is Open Source. Yes anyone can change the default search engine. But yes, Waterfox is trade-based since they clearly want people’s attention. Else they would have chosen the best search engine they know off, not one that is paid for. Don’t forget that for one search is an essential part of a browser, and second that most people probably do not know how or simply do not change their default search engine.
