Thanks for pointing out that Waterfox split into two versions, classic & G4.
I've tested every free browser that I could find (where I have about a score
installed currently including all three Microsoft browsers working at the
same time); but I didn't realize Waterfox split into two different code
streams until you had pointed that out for me.
Together we've pretty much shown G4 isn't even rudimentarily tested on
Windows 10 (which is a pretty bad sign).
The "G3.1.1.1 (64-bit)" version is working, which I guess is the latest
"classic" version whose description is apparently here:
<https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox-Classic>
Below is that description but notice the "removed startup profiling"
which was the topic earlier this week that Firefox does with the web stub.
The Waterfox source code is a specialised modification of the Mozilla
platform, designed for privacy and user choice in mind. You should be able
to install it and compile Waterfox without any issues. Other modifications
and patches that are more upstream have been implemented as well to fix any
compatibility/security issues that Mozilla may lag behind in implementing
(usually due to not being high priority). High request features removed by
Mozilla but wanted by users are retained (if they aren't removed due to
security).
Compiled with Clang-cl on Windows, Clang+LLVM on Linux
Disabled Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)
Disabled Web Runtime (deprecated as of 2015)
Removed Pocket
Removed Telemetry
Removed data collection
*Removed startup profiling*
Allow running of all 64-Bit NPAPI plugins
Allow running of unsigned extensions
Removal of Sponsored Tiles on New Tab Page
Addition of Duplicate Tab option
