6.7.0-beta.3- Ultra Protection returns and Linux package repositories

Waterfox 6.7.0 beta 3 switches Ultra Protection back on, broadens Linux packaging to ARM64 with proper package repositories, and continues restoring legacy extension support.

New

  • Re-enabled Ultra Protection by default for new profiles. DNS lookups travel over Oblivious HTTP through the Waterfox relay, meaning no single party can see both who you are and which sites you look up. Existing profiles can enable it under Settings.
  • Extended legacy extension support to overlay-based extensions using chrome.manifest overlay entries.
  • Added official Linux package repositories with both x86_64 and ARM64 DEB and RPM packages. Waterfox can now be installed and kept up to date through the package manager on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Mageia.
  • Added a redesigned About dialog built on the Waterfox design.
  • Enabled the global menu bar on Linux desktops that provide one, including on Wayland.

Changed

  • Allowed the media cache’s in-memory layer to grow with available RAM instead of stopping at a fixed ceiling.
  • Restored the “View Image Info” context menu item.
  • The macOS download is a redesigned, fully signed and notarised installer image.

Fixed

  • Opening a link in a new private tab from the context menu opened it in a normal tab instead.
  • The major upgrade welcome dialog displayed raw label identifiers instead of its text.
