The reviews are pretty great. Definitely legit.

Woah, they must be leveraging that new 64 bit technology everybody has been talking about!

Nice, they even give money to Microsoft Edge!

Waterfox is a project that has been around for long enough (~2011) that 64-bit was actually a thing people cared about.

> they even give money to Microsoft Edge!

They are saying they covered several topics in the interview, of which one was charity, and another was Microsoft Edge.


They are from the last decade or so - I linked them when I was a young lad and as you can tell the website is quite outdated now (and being updated in the meanwhile - takes time though!).

Just thought it was a nice way to get people familiar with Waterfox since - at least at the time (years ago now) I wasn't too sure how to introduce people to it.

> Nice, they even give money to Microsoft Edge!

I never did, that's just the structure of the sentence mentioning that they also talk about Edge in the article.
