Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default "junk" that Firefox comes with.

Don't see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

I hate to break it to you but Mozilla, Google and Microsoft are all Advertising companies.

All big tech is. They got big for a reason. Though I find Mozilla much less of a thread than other corps like Google, Meta, Microsoft. Meta I find easy to block as none of their services are actually useful. Google is a tad bit harder, and Microshit creeps in on every spot and I don't like it.

I think that is fair. However, you shouldn't trust Mozilla more than any other company

Any big company can't be trusted. They got big with a reason :)
