LibreWolf: An Open-Source Firefox Fork Without the Telemetry
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
_**Brief:** LibreWolf is a Firefox fork that focuses on privacy and security by eliminating telemetry and adding other perks. Let us find out more about it._
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Firefox is one of the best web browsers for Linux. However, some users do not appreciate the presence of telemetry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition to that, some prefer a browser that’s tuned for the best possible privacy and security out-of-the-box, even if Firefox offers one of the best customization capabilities.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LibreWolf is the answer for all those users if you do not want distracting features of Firefox and want a private web experience without tweaking anything from your side.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### LibreWolf: Firefox, but better?

Suppose you want to use Firefox without the ability to sync using a Firefox account and a few other Firefox-specific features like the “**Add to Pocket**” button. In that case, LibreWolf can be a good option.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unlike other Firefox forks (for instance- [Basilisk browser][2]), it is regularly updated. And, it only focuses on providing a private web experience without affecting the user experience you’d expect with Mozilla Firefox.

### Features of LibreWolf
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LibreWolf offers a pretty useful set of features out-of-the-box for a secure web experience. Let me highlight some of them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Removes telemetry
|
|||
|
|
* No cloud sync using Firefox account
|
|||
|
|
* Private search providers like Searx, Qwant (DuckDuckGo set as the default)
|
|||
|
|
* uBlock Origin included to block scripts/advertisements
|
|||
|
|
* No “Add to Pocket” button
|
|||
|
|
* No sponsored/recommended content in the homepage out-of-the-box
|
|||
|
|
* Firefox’s snippets to add news/tips in a new tab removed from the Settings
|
|||
|
|
* No sponsored shortcuts
|
|||
|
|
* Tracking Protection set to “**Strict**” mode by default
|
|||
|
|
* Cookies and History set to delete when you close the browser
|
|||
|
|
* Enable HTTPS-only mode by default
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As you can notice, LibreWolf aims to provide a cleaner and privacy-friendly experience without needing to tweak anything.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
|
|||
|
|
Some options like clearing cookies/history upon exit may be inconvenient if you do not want to repeatedly sign in to web services and browse the history to recall your browsing activity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, if you want to switch from Firefox to LibreWolf, you may want to test the web browsing experience before you decide.

You can refer to our guide on [using AppImage][6] and the [resource on Flatpak][7], in case you didn’t know.
