“The young developer behind web browser Waterfox, which boasts 4m downloads, is now hoping to create a viable rival to Google’s ubiquitous search engine by offering users absolute privacy online.”

“Alex Kontos has taken on the internet browser behemoths with the creation of Waterfox.”

“What started out as a teenage hobby in his bedroom is rapidly becoming an influential presence on the internet and a serious rival to the main players.”

“It’s incredibly difficult for new browsers to penetrate the market, but there’s one such browser called Waterfox, which is attempting to gain a foothold into the market by claiming to be the fastest browser in existence by leveraging on the 64-bit architecture of the latest operating systems.”

“In a week where we celebrate the best of the British technology industry, we speak to young developer Alex Kontos about building a successful web browser, a search engine that gives money to charity, Microsoft Edge and more.”

“Alex argues that we need to think hard about the future of the internet.”
