This project is an independent fork of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to [LibreFox](https://github.com/intika/Librefox)
|
|
|
|
LibreWolf uses more than 500 privacy/security/performance settings, patches, LibreWolf-Addons (optional) and is designed to minimize data collection and telemetry as much as possible (updater, crashreporter and Firefox's integrated addons that don't respect privacy are removed).
|
|
|
|
**LibreWolf is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products.**
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Latest Version of Firefox: LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Nightly. As a result, you will have the most bleeding edge of features, technologies and security updates. Stable builds are also planned in the future.
|
|
- Completely Independent Build: LibreWolf uses a completely independent build from Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser.
|
|
- Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions ([firewall-test-feature](#extensions-firewall-))
|
|
- IJWY (I Just Want You To Shut Up): embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed ([zero unauthorized connection](#ijwy-i-just-want-you-to-shut-up) by default).
|
|
- User settings updates: gHacks/pyllyukko base is kept up to date.
|
|
- Settings protection: important settings are enforced/locked within `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json`, those settings cannot be changed by addons/updates/LibreWolf itself or unwanted/accidental manipulation; To change those settings you can easily do it by editing `librewolf.cfg` and `policies.json`.
|
|
- LibreWolf-addons: set of optional LibreWolf extensions
|
|
- Statistics disabled: telemetry and similar functions are disabled
|
|
- Tested settings: settings are performance aware
|
|
- ESR and Tor version (LibreWolf TBB Beta)
|
|
- Tor LibreWolf-addons: adapted LibreWolf extensions for TBB
|
|
- Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android)
|
|
- Dark theme (classic and advanced)
|
|
- Recommended and *code reviewed* addons list
|
|
- Community-Driven
|
|
- And much more...
