Firefox's internals are great -- it's never been faster or as stable, and for that we made real sacrifices like losing XUL extensions but increasingly I don't understand Mozilla's decision making.
EDIT: I understand many of the things I'm talking about can be fixed with about:config. I had a list of over 30 flags in my notes and it was becoming untenable to patch all my devices whenever a feature I needed was changed or removed. Whereas with Waterfox, I so far have only one about:config change:
dom.security.https_only_mode = trueYeah lots of (usually subtle-ish) incongruous actions.
Ignore the public messaging and work backwards from what they actually do to understand their real motivations.
I've written some other comments with my analysis on it if you're interests you can check my comment history.
