What’s new in Waterfox 46.0?

Changes

Temporarily switched to Visual C++ compiler while Intel fix compiler bugs. Clang test have happened and will try out GCC as well.

Re-enabled jemalloc

What features does Waterfox currently have?

Disabled EME (doesn’t work on 3rd party builds anyway)

Disabled WebappRT

Removed Pocket completely

Removed all telemetry/data collection being sent back to Mozilla

Disabled the 64-Bit NPAPI white-list so that the user can decide what plugins they can run (doesn’t make sense for Mozilla to do this as most of their user base probably aren’t technically proficient), but it’s something Waterfox users are capable of handling.

I’ve also allowed unsigned extensions to run as well as there are still some old extensions people like to use (it’s disabled by Mozilla for the same reason as above)

Windows XP 64-Bit support

Updated ICU to 57.1 (current Mozilla base is on 56.1)

Removal of Sponsored Tiles on New Tab Page

Issues

My Mac Mini is out of action again, so Mac builds will be delayed by a day or two
