Bug#885405: RFP: waterfox -- graphical web browser based on Firefox



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : waterfox
  Version         : 56.0.1
  Upstream Author : Alex Kontos
* URL             : https://www.waterfoxproject.org/
* License         : MPL 2.0
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : graphical web browser based on Firefox

from Wikipedia:

> Waterfox differs from Firefox in a number of ways by:
>  - Disabling Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)
>  - Disabling Web Runtime
>  - Removing Adobe DRM
>  - Removing Pocket
>  - Removing Telemetry
>  - Removing data collection
>  - Removing startup profiling
>  - Allowing running of all 64-bit NPAPI plugins
>  - Allowing running of unsigned extensions
>  - Removing of Sponsored Tiles on New Tab Page
>  - Addition of Duplicate Tab option
>  - Addition of locale selector in about:preferences > General
>  - Defaulting to Ecosia as the search engine instead of Google or Yahoo

IMHO, it would be nice to have this in Debian to keep useful
packages like xul-ext-scrapbook alive.
