Waterfox Private Search - Open Beta

We’ve recently launched Waterfox Private Search in open beta! This new meta-search engine is designed to provide a more private search experience with no tracking, no AI summaries stealing content from websites, and no annoying pop-ups or banners.

You can try it now at search.waterfox.net and read more about it in our announcement post.

Your feedback during this beta period will be invaluable as we work toward making this our default search option in future releases.
