I wanted to use Waterfox, but I wasn't sure about the security side of things.
When vulnerabilities are found in Firefox, we can expect them to be fixed pretty quickly. Can the same be said for this project?
- sjwright 7y agoGiven the project is so small, I wouldn't trust their future response to be rapid even if they have been in the past. Right now most security fixes come in the form of merging upstream security fixes from Mozilla. As their code base becomes increasingly divergent to the Firefox head, merging in upstream security fixes will become increasingly difficult and increasingly cumbersome.
