Waterfox turns 15 and is getting native ad blocking like Brave

The independent Firefox-based browser marks its anniversary with concrete news: native ad blocking integrated into the main process, built on Brave's open source library. Still no AI.

Waterfox compie 15 anni e si prepara a bloccare le pubblicità senza estensioni (come Brave)

Il browser indipendente basato su Firefox festeggia il suo anniversario con una novità concreta: un blocco pubblicità nativo integrato nel processo principale, costruito sulla libreria open source di Brave. E ancora niente intelligenza artificiale.

#Firefox monte la garde.

Firefox estime que les entreprises devraient moins vous pister. Nous bloquons tout ce que nous pouvons. (Ouf ! Ils font tout ce qu'ils peuvent... ou pas 😅).

Au passage l'icône "tracking-protection-icon-box" heu 🤔 !!! Hé ben, il n'est plus le même et exit le cadenas (discrètement viré).

Je me demande quelles autres surprises nous réserve Firefox  🤔

Ok, a couple of days ago I encountered that the #KDE forum was not accesible anymore with alternative browsers as #Waterfox. Now it is the same at the #Nextcloud forum. This isn't very helpfull and it looks like protecting the major ones. Both are linking to "browse happy" where advised to use #Edge, #Chrome or #Safari (and Brave, Firefox and Vivaldi). The whole point of moving away from #Apple, #Microsoft and #Google is totally missed here.

update: solved in this weeks update of Waterfox

🌗 分叉十五載:Waterfox 的成長與堅持
➤ 從十六歲少年的業餘興趣,到守護隱私的開源堡壘
https://www.waterfox.com/blog/15-years-of-forking/
2011年,十六歲的 Alex Kontos 因不滿 Firefox 缺乏官方 64 位元版本,憑藉對開源程式的熱忱,一手打造了 Waterfox。從最初論壇上的個人小專案,到如今擁有百萬月活躍用戶的獨立瀏覽器,Waterfox 走過十五個年頭。儘管面臨搜尋合作收益縮減與維持獨立營運的經濟壓力,開發者始終堅持瀏覽器的核心價值——不植入過度複雜的 AI,專注於高效能與用戶隱私。展望未來,Waterfox 將透過整合 Brave 的 adblock 函式庫,實現更底層、更輕量的原生廣告攔截機制,持續在瀏覽器市場中為使用者提供純粹的瀏覽選擇。
+ 看著 Alex 從當初在論壇發文的小夥子變成現在的開發者,這份堅持真的很不容易。在現在這個瀏覽器塞滿 AI 和追蹤器的時代,Waterfox 是少數還能保持初心的產品。

🥳🎉 Happy 15th #birthday to #Waterfox, the #browser that bravely defied the odds by doing... exactly what #Firefox does, but with a different shade of blue and a #hipster name. 🎈🔧 After 15 years of meticulously crafting a "transitional logo phase," we eagerly await their next groundbreaking innovation: maybe a celebratory font change? 🙄🎨
