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? Librewolf? Why not both?

I would like to try it, but isn't it behind on updates a lot? Current Firefox is on 126 IIRC.
