Waterfox

Why settle for a browser that watches your every move?

Waterfox by BrowserWorks is a privacy-first mobile browser built for users who refuse to compromise on speed, customization, or control. It strips away unnecessary tracking, blocks invasive ads by default, and gives you the power to shape your browsing experience with powerful extensions and deep settings. Whether you are a privacy enthusiast, a power user, or just tired of being tracked, Waterfox delivers a fast, clean, and truly private alternative to mainstream browsers.

Core tools and modes that put you in control

• Total tracker blocking – Built-in Enhanced Tracking Protection automatically stops third-party trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and crypto miners. You get a clean, fast page load every time, with a clear shield icon showing exactly what was blocked.
• Full extension support – Install thousands of add-ons from the Firefox Add-ons store directly on mobile. Content blockers, password managers, ad filters, and productivity tools all work seamlessly, just like on desktop.
• Customizable search and start page – Choose your default search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, or a custom one), set a private homepage with quick-dial shortcuts, and decide whether to show or hide top sites. Every element is under your thumb.
• Private browsing with fingerprint resistance – Open a private tab that blocks all trackers and leaves zero history. Waterfox also randomizes common fingerprinting vectors, making it harder for sites to identify your device across sessions.
• Reader mode and night mode – Strip away clutter for distraction-free reading with adjustable font size and background color. Night mode reduces blue light for comfortable late-night browsing, with a simple toggle in the toolbar.
• Smart URL bar and autocomplete – Type a few letters and Waterfox instantly suggests bookmarks, history, and top sites. The search bar also supports direct search commands, so you can quickly jump to specific sites without extra taps.
• Sync across devices – Connect your Waterfox desktop and mobile browsers with a secure sync account. Bookmarks, passwords, open tabs, and history stay in perfect sync, encrypted end-to-end.
• Download manager and media controls – Download files in the background with a dedicated queue, pause/resume support, and a clean notification tray. Video and audio playback includes picture-in-picture mode, so you can keep watching while multitasking.
• Gesture navigation and toolbar customization – Swipe left or right to go back or forward, long-press the tab button to open a new tab, and rearrange toolbar icons to match your workflow. Every gesture is configurable.
• Battery and data saver mode – Enable lightweight mode to compress images and reduce data usage, plus a battery optimization toggle that pauses background activity when your charge is low. Browsing stays smooth even on limited plans.
