Waterfox Essentials: HTTPS-Only Mode in Waterfox for Android

HTTPS-Only Mode is automatically enabled in Waterfox for Android, versions 1.0.0 and later. For every website you visit, Waterfox will automatically establish a secure, encrypted connection over HTTPS whenever possible. This is especially useful when you are using a public Wi-Fi, where you can’t be sure of the integrity of your internet connection. You can disable or enable this feature in your settings.

Myth 1: Private Browsing makes you anonymous on the Internet Reality: Private Browsing does not mask your identity or activity online. Websites and internet service providers can still gather information about your visit, even if you are not signed in.
