Waterfox Portable is a privacy-focused web browser designed for Windows desktops and laptops. Compared to the standalone edition, the program runs directly from a USB drive without installation.
Safe
It is possible to maintain privacy by blocking trackers, ads and unnecessary telemetry. Unlike mainstream browsers, this one does not collect data or force users to sign in for personalized ads. There is built-in tracking protection to prevent websites from monitoring online activity.
