✨ Waterfox has a new website! A fresh lick of paint and migration to waterfox.com
A privacy-focused browser built for power users who value customization and control over their online experience
Why Waterfox
Waterfox pairs a privacy-first foundation with the kind of deep customization normally reserved for extensions and hidden flags. These are the highlights our community cares about most.
Feature overview
Every block below pulls straight from the browser - no extensions or hidden flags required.
Traditional encrypted DNS hides what you're asking from intermediaries on the network, while Oblivious DNS hides who is asking from the resolver. Waterfox ships that combination by default, for free.
Learn how we run it with Fastly .
There are no remote experiments, no "personalization" feeds, and no surprise pings — what runs on your machine is the code you installed.
Keep sensitive journeys isolated beside your regular browsing, then close the tab to wipe its local traces in one move.
Skip the fragile extension pile: Waterfox brings tab management, status bars, layout controls, and more straight into Settings.
Tree Vertical Tabs
Waterfox ships with an opinionated take on tree-style tabs - no add-on required. Every new tab inherits context, branches stay tidy, and you control exactly where the tab bar lives.
Links opened from a tab become its children, so research trails stay grouped without manual dragging.
Collapse busy sections, close a parent to sweep away its subtree, or focus mode a single branch while everything else stays tucked away.
Use Ctrl/Cmd + arrows to promote, demote, or move tabs, and lean on deep integrations with Multiple Tab Handler, Informational Tab, and Session Manager.
Join millions who have chosen Waterfox for a faster, more private browsing experience without compromises.
