upstream continues to replace the release versions despite (multiple) issues submitted that suggest this is improper.

While it's possible for this package to 'skip' shasums, I'm reluctant to do this for a web browser.

If you find this package suddenly has shasum mismatch errors, please visit
https://github.com/envolution/aur/issues/new?template=build_request.yml

and issue a build request for waterfox-bin

Could you add a conflict with the non-binary waterfox package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waterfox

Something seems to be wrong

Is the

epoch = 1

really necessary? The sha512sums is the same, only difference for the final package is the the "Mainterner" -> "Maintainer" fix.

There is a typo: 'Mainterner' should be 'Maintainer'

I will update tomorrow morning (French time), thank you very much for your patience.

For memory leaks you'll have to ask Waterfox's developer. The packager can't do anything for that.

This package is giving me memory leaks now I use it and after a while my memory usage peaks to 25gb out of 32gb after which my computer freezes as I presume OOM is killing processes Then my internet is broken and I have to restart. Please fix!

Is this not being maintained anymore?

Here's an updated version. The waterfox website changed from .net to .com.
