What's the dirt on Waterfox?

I’m aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it’s now an independent project.

    Wasn’t the whole reason to use Waterfox because Firefox didn’t support 64x at the time? It supports it now, so why would you still use Waterfox?

    That’s pretty much it afaik. Owner sold it, new owner didn’t know what to do with it, owner bought it back.

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure System1 divested themselves of it.

    They still own Startpage and Startmail, though.
