It offers great speed, freedom, enhanced privacy, security, and control. The open-source feature of Firefox led to the establishment of Waterfox, which is a 64-bit system. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. This means its source code can be edited to create a new browser. However, do you know the difference between Firefox and Waterfox, and which one is more suitable for use?įirefox is an open-source software browser.

I'll provide a follow-up here when we have an update on the bug.WaterFox is an optimized browser based on open-source Firefox modifications.

I'm sorry that this has caused a serious issue for quite a large number of users, and that we were not more reachable in our community forum. This is a pretty simple set of rules that also does not attempt to differentiate between browsers. This is a feature that blocks malformed HTTP request headers, and user-agents commonly used by abusive bots (like user-agents with Java and Python in them). I see that the name of our Browser Integrity Check feature (which is not causing the block here) is drawing some attention. The fact that the challenge is currently not working for Waterfox Classic and Pale Moon is not by intent, and we do not want to be in the business of saying one browser is more legitimate than another. This feature attempts to determine browser versus non-browser traffic and block non-browsers. This looks like a bug with our "Managed Challenge" security action that's causing the loop. I hope this issue will be heard, fixed and never be repeated again. There's no transparency and no accountability to their actions. They prevent users of these browsers from accessing millions of websites with a flip of a switch. A 3rd party corporation is deliberately deciding which browsers are legitimate and which are not. That'd between visitors and owners of that web site, and completely understandable.

Let me be clear, this is not a case of a web site owner deciding to use a recent feature that's not supported by these browsers.

Visitors are told to contact respective web site owners and forum threads are locked quickly. Some users have posted at Clodflare community forum to no avail and Cloudflare support is only available to paid customers. Ghacks' post has a good summary of related links and an active discussion at comments section, though the "protection" got more strict in the meantime thus the mentioned workaround isn't effective anymore. Users of Waterfox Classic and Pale Moon browsers have been reporting that they're stuck in an infinite loop of Cloudflare's infamous "checking your browser" screen and can't access web sites that enabled Cloudflare's browser integrity check feature.
