Before we give this the traditional Hacker News baptism by fire, keep in mind that this is apparently just one guy&#x27;s project, and he&#x27;s very junior:<p><pre><code>  Waterfox was started back in March 2011 by Alex Kontos,
  a then 16 year old student. He had a fascination for

  Mozilla had for a free and open web.
