Almost 10 months ago, I posted in here that I was switching to Waterfox since Mozilla switched from the MPL to their own proprietary license.

After the initial transition, I pretty much used Waterfox like Firefox and there were only a few edge/corner cases where the browser did not function as expected. They were often fixed within a few days via a browser update.

An interesting bug has surfaced where the history database got corrupted and there was no way to repair it and I'm having to recreate my profile. While it's not the end of the world, it very annoying. I haven't been able to isolate why. I wish there was a way to script installing extensions and migrating settings.

Overall, it's doing what a browser should be doing. Showing me the web.

How are you all doing with it?

Working fine for me. I don't notice much of a difference from Firefox, though I'm not exactly a power user (uBlock and Bitwarden are my only addons). And it still allows me to customize the toolbars to get rid of a bunch of things.

Mainly just hoping Mozilla can continue supporting Gecko so I don't have to find something else.
