Comments said a ff fork. Is this not a ff fork with a built-in metasearch?

Edit: allow me to clarify. The engine in the link is just the search engine; I get that. I meant waterfox. Is that not a fork? And if it is, does it support the vanilla add-ons? It's been a day and I'm exhausted, and am not explaining properly I think sorry

This Private Search is just a standalone website (and not part of the browser). And yes, Waterfox the browser does support WebExtensions, as it includes Firefox Quantum features.
