Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default "junk" that Firefox comes with.

Don't see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

Waterfox was bought by an ad company.

Edit: According to this page it's no longer the case, though I still am not completely comfortable with it.
