Is waterfox spooky?

I have been using Waterfox for some time now, and I generally really like it, and since it appears to be using QT I do not have that annoying mismatch I tend to have with Firefox and Librewolf. However I did recently become aware that it's owned by an ad company, my general question is have they done anything spooky yet? also while this might come off as a general paranoia are the accounts I logged in using Waterfox safe

    I'm interested because I'm a KDE fanboy: I've looked at some screenshots and I'm seeing regular old Firefox. What's QT about it?

    • QT is the gui framework that all KDE apps are built in

      • Yeah no thanks, I knew that. My question is what is QT about it. In the screenshots it doesn't integrate into KDE at all. It's just plain Firefox.

        • Mine seems to intergreat, has the KDE title bar and such, rather than Firefox which is just the GNOME ones

          • No Firefox uses GTK.

            You can disable SSD (server side decorarion) to get the in-line buttons, in the "customize appearance" screen bottom left.
