In Mozilla Is DeadAsk HN: Waterfox GitHub repository is missing many commit messages, why?
2 points · Open discussionIf you add www[0] to the beginning of the org website it redirects you to the net website[1].
The downloads on both sites are hosted on the same site but they do point to different versions[2][3].
Both pages link to the same BuyMeACoffee page[4].
The GitHub repository has a link to the net[5].
But the GitHub profile of the developer links the the org[6].
Very old versions[7] and the current version[8] of the wikipedia page list the org as the official website.
The org seems to have been the site for the project since as early as 2012 according to the wayback[9].
However the net doesn't seem to have been associated with the project (or anything) before 2019[10].
The most recent crawls of the org got 301 redirected to the net[11].

In Waterfox BrowserThanks, we are trying to write more blog posts since we're cutting into new territory. "Customizing Gecko" would be a fun one. I definitely stared at the Waterfox repo at few times (https://github.com/mralex94/waterfox).
