System1 lists Michael Blend (note the e in the lastname) as chairman and co-founder. Michael Bland was appointed director of Waterfox Limited on that day and Alexandros Kontos' role as director was terminated. She discovered an ownership change in Waterfox Limited on December 13, 2019. There are not that many browsers that match the description which made the most popular ones, Waterfox and Pale Moon, the most likely target for a sale. Build system work is required for this role sometimes, but that’s one of the fun parts! Key goals for this role: Keep a “classic†version of the browser up-to-date with security patches update components where possible and create better compatibility with legacy add-ons for the newer version of the platform that supports them. You will work with experts who know the Mozilla platform inside-out, while being a key contributor to novel open-source products which already have a passionate and growing user base. This is a diverse role that will involve “hacking†on the Mozilla platform, mostly on the backend. System1 is hiring a Web Browser Developer to join our team. The job description provides insight on the potential target: It revealed that development would focus on the Mozilla platform and that a key goal was to keep a classic version of the browser up-to-date. She decided to keep an eye on potential web browser sales as it was likely that System1 was interested in buying an established web browser with a user base instead of building one from scratch. Privacy expert Liz McIntyre, who was involved with Startpage prior to the ownership change, noticed in October 2019 that System1 was looking to hire a web browser developer. Update: Alex Kontos, the creator of Waterfox, published a blog post on the official site explaining the change.
