What is Firefox Focus? Is it a privacy browser that will meet your needs? We review the browser in depth.

1. Download the compressed archive from https://www.waterfoxproject.org/downloads You'll get a .bz2 file.
2. Extract it to the location of your choice, keeping the directory structure intact. I chose to extract it to my home.
3. You now have a folder called waterfox. Inside that is a file also called waterfox. Doubleclicking that file will start the browser.
4. It will now offer to import your Firefox data.
5. Set up a menu launcher to that 'waterfox' file so it launches from the menu. Inside one of the folders, in the one called 'browser' and then 'icons', you will find a decent looking icon. It's the one shown below.

Waterfox keeps itself updated; if you open Help => About Waterfox it will tell you which version you're running. As of January 1 2018, the current version is 56.0.1.

LibreWolf - Le Firefox blindé pour la vie privée
https://korben.info/librewolf-firefox-blinde-vie-privee-sans-configuration.html

Sur tous les navigateurs récents, il y a maintenant une fonctionnalité de synchronisation qui permet une fois connecté de récupérer selon les services ses bookmarks, son historique, ainsi que la liste des plugins. Firefox Sync est le plus connu de ces services mais Google Sync ou Opera Sync permettent de faire la même chose.

I'd like to start this by saying that 'hardened FF' does not refer to a particular setup but it's a general term that became popular to refer to the use of user.js to improve privacy and security on FF.

No, we do not use the same setup as PTIO. For example we disable trackingprotection in favour of uBlock and we do not use FPI. We share some prefs but the setups are still different.

The same is true for Arkenfox, we include some of their pref but there are also major differences: FPI, Safe Browsing, trackingprotection and many more. These are important differences and you should be aware of them. You can easily see that our .cfg is different from their user.js by the number of included prefs, we have a lot more than they do as we decided to disable basically all of Mozilla stuff, while they do not mind having it in FF so they leave it as it is, and we also remove URLs and keep some redundant stuff, which in arkenfox's view is not ideal as it makes re-enabling stuff harder.

With that being said, as you correctly pointed out, arkenfox is a project that we refer to in order to improve our configuration and this is particularly true at the moment since we are doing a cleanup and general improvement of our settings. We noticed that we need to improve some stuff, remove some outdated prefs, and then have a better way to handle them in the future, and this requires to review the current setup. So I think the proper reply would be: no, our config is not the same as arkenfox despite the fact that we share several prefs, but we look at their project to improve our setup and we want to keep up with it. With that being said LibreWolf has its own configuration with its own choices, which differ from arkenfox.

Regarding the difference with any kind of hardened FF, I think the main one is that we try to be private by default so you don't need to go the extra mile and configure your own user.js and settings, or even longer go through the entire build process to disable some stuff in depth. This means that we disable telemetry, apply our own hardened configuration and we also ship the browser with uBlock by default. Additionally we decide to remove all Mozilla stuff that we catch, as we think it has no reason to be preinstalled on a browser, we include privacy respecting providers by default and we try to disable as many non-user-triggered outgoing connections as possible.

In addition to this, I personally value that LW is community driven and that it tries to be private by default vs configurable for privacy, which is the case for FF+user.js. I also believe in this project as a chance to make a statement on what we consider a proper way to respect users when shipping software. This probably won't mean much to most people using LibreWolf, but I consider these valid reasons for why I use it and contribute to it.

This article isn't specifically about privacy issues only, it's about promises that are being broken, which might be about privacy.
Some browsers either directly violate users by collecting telemetric data without consent, or you have to opt-out rather than opt-in, or they bounce around the Internet visiting places in the background without you knowing (using dns-prefetch or automatic updates etc.), using third party services that operates with a privacy policy you either cannot trust, or that are directly violating your privacy, or they have integrated third party software that do some of these things.

PrivacyTests.org - https://privacytests.org/
is an interesting website where many privacy aspects of several modern web browsers are compared in a table format. There's no specific test for Firefox with the 'arkenfox' user.js, but If you're a Firefox user who incorporated their configuration, i would guess that the data for Librewolf would compare closely to Firefox with the 'arkenfox' user.js since they're using it in their project.

On Ubuntu, you might have several web browsers installed, which are utilized according to your browsing preferences. Although, we all have a most favorite web browser to use 90% of the internet every day. In Linux, it is preferred to state the best browser as the default browser. This default browser will also allow you to open links from the terminal.

When 'free' software isn't

Have you ever wondered how Mozilla gets paid by the privacy-hating mega-monopolies like Google? Simple; when you use the default search engine plugins that are packaged with the browser, parameters similar to these are added to your search query:

client=firefox
name="appid" value="ff"
name="hspart" value="mozilla"
These parameters inform the search engine that you're using a Firefox/Mozilla product and that, in part, is how Mozilla is able to rake in millions annually.
