About this app

Waterfox for Android is the privacy-focused mobile browser that puts you in control. Fully open source, Waterfox removes unnecessary analytics, telemetry, and closed-source integrations, offering you a clean private browsing experience instead.

Unlike other Android web browsers, Waterfox has no analytics or telemetry tracking your usage. It also does not use closed-source SDKs or have sponsored shortcuts enabled by default. Integrations like the closed-source read-it-later service Pocket have been removed. Additionally, all code related to Chinese censorship has been eliminated.

Waterfox prioritizes privacy. It blocks online trackers to prevent companies from profiling your browsing habits. It comes with encrypted DNS support using DNS over Oblivious HTTP to prevent censorship. With this unique feature, your DNS queries are hidden to avoid network manipulation, and it is the ONLY web browser to offer this premium functionality for free!

In terms of customization, Waterfox will support add-ons so you can enhance your mobile browsing experience. It also offers customizable settings for history, cookies, zoom level, and much more. You have full control.

Under the hood, Waterfox uses the same lightning-fast Gecko engine that powers the largest open-source web browser. Pages will load quickly, and websites will run smoothly. Waterfox also supports modern web standards and technologies for the best browsing experience.

Waterfox is independently developed with a strong focus on user privacy and choice. No measurements or data collection are performed behind the scenes. Waterfox for Android brings desktop-grade privacy to mobile devices.

Try Waterfox and take control of your mobile browsing—you can browse the web in private.

The Waterfox for Android browser is based on Fenix.
