# Waterfox Browser

## **What is Waterfox Browser?** <a href="#section-2" id="section-2"></a>

Waterfox is a 64-bit browser developed based on Mozilla Firefox open source code, focusing on privacy protection and performance optimization.

**Core features**

* Privacy first: User tracking, telemetry reporting, and advertising plug-ins (such as Pocket) are disabled by default to strictly protect user data.
* 64-bit performance: Optimized for 64-bit systems, using SSE/AVX instruction sets and the Intel C++ compiler, it runs faster than native Firefox.
* Extension compatibility: Fully supports Firefox's extension ecosystem, and users can freely install various plug-ins.
