Browsers that can now use 4GB+ of ram doesn't inspire confidence in software design.

I just installed it and noticed that all my FF add-ons / FF cookies are still there🙂

just wondering, is it safe to use this browser?

What about the company that makes Waterfox? will it steal my passwords silently / any other data?

hope someone can clarify
