LibreWolf vs Firefox: Comparing the Privacy Heroes of Open-Source Browsers
======
Firefox is one of the best cross-platform [open-source web browsers][1].
Not to mention, it is the only viable alternative as a Chromium-based replacement. Or, is it?
LibreWolf is yet another interesting option, which is originally a Firefox fork that attempts to do better than Firefox to enhance privacy/security right out of the box.
But, is it really useful to choose LibreWolf over Firefox? What are the differences? Let us take a look.
### The User Interface
Considering [LibreWolf][2] is a Firefox fork, the user interface is the same with a few subtle changes.
![Firefox UI][3]
For instance, it does not feature the link to the Firefox website in the bookmark menu and gets rid of the “Add to Pocket” button.
Instead, you can find the icon to an extension, and the download manager to the right of the address bar.
![LibreWolf UI][4]
Yes, you no longer have to head to the menu to access the downloads.
If you consider the extras in Firefox as annoyances, LibreWolf should be a clean experience.
### Search Providers
By default, Firefox utilizes Google as its search engine, considering they are official partners, i.e., Google pays to be the default search engine.
![][5]
While you can easily change the default search provider to DuckDuckGo, Startpage, or anything else, the default remains a big deal for most users.
When it comes to LibreWolf, the default search engine is DuckDuckGo. It is known to be one of the best privacy-friendly search engines out there.
![][6]
It should be noted that the privacy-focused search engines may not be as good as Google for some use-cases. So, if the search engine choice does not bother you, Firefox can be just fine.
However, if you want to keep your search history private to yourself, LibreWolf’s default search provider can prove to be a better option.
### Hardened Privacy
Mozilla Firefox is incredibly customizable. If you want to put the effort, you can enhance the digital privacy on Firefox.
However, if you want to avoid investing a lot of time tweaking the Firefox experience, LibreWolf can be a good pick.
LibreWolf features some of the best settings out-of-the-box to ensure you get rid of the trackers online and have a safe online experience.
For instance, it features the UBlock content blocker by default to eliminate trackers/scripts that track your online activities. The default search engine as DuckDuckGo also helps to an extent.
![][7]
Furthermore, LibreWolf enables the Strict mode of Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection. In other words, it blocks trackers aggressively, which might result in some web pages not working as expected.
![][8]
While LibreWolf recommends not changing these settings, you can choose to use Firefox if you notice web pages breaking with the settings.
Firefox uses the basic protection enabled to get rid of common trackers without breaking the user experience on web pages.
In addition to these settings, LibreWolf also deletes cookies and site data upon exit by default. This can be annoying if you want to stay signed in to websites and resume your browsing session quickly.
When it comes to Firefox, it does feature the same option, but it remains disabled by default. So, if you want to avoid tweaking built-in settings for a convenient experience, you should pick Firefox.
![][9]
No wonder why Firefox is still one of the [best browsers available for Linux][10]. Most of the users prefer convenience to enhance privacy while still being able to use the browser cross-platform.
### Google Safe Browsing
Google Safe Browsing is a useful service that warns/flags suspicious websites for malicious activities.
Most browsers use it to enable a safe user experience. You do not need to be an expert at spotting sites with phishing/malware, Google Safe Browsing helps you detect them.
Mozilla Firefox uses it with a different name “**Phishing Protection**“, which is enabled by default.
However, with LibreWolf the Google Safe Browsing service comes disabled by default to avoid connecting to Google services. You can enable it, but it is not something that users look for when setting up their browsers.
![][11]
So, if you want additional help in avoiding malicious sites, Firefox should be a good out-of-the-box solution. And, if you know what you’re doing, you can go with LibreWolf, and enable the setting when/if required.
### Extras
LibreWolf gets rid of any additional offerings on Firefox.
For instance, LibreWolf does not have any connections to the Mozilla server by default. Some of the changes that it reflects include:
* You do not get the sync/sign-in functionality with LibreWolf.
* No Add to Pocket button
* You do not load the Mozilla add-ons/themes on the extensions page.
![][12]
If you want to use the Mozilla account to sync your history/bookmarks and browser data, Firefox is the best bet. There’s also Firefox VPN, if you prefer using it.
![][13]
However, if you do not trust any of the Mozilla services and prefer to sever any connections to them on your browser, LibreWolf is your friend.
### Cross-Platform Support
Firefox is available for Android and iOS, and works well with a wide range of screen sizes and devices.
Unfortunately, LibreWolf is limited to the desktop platforms like macOS, Windows, OpenBSD, and Linux.
### Community-Based vs Backed by Organization
[LibreWolf][14] is a community-powered project maintained by a few passionate contributors to promote privacy, security, and user freedom.
If you prefer what LibreWolf has to offer, it should not be a problem to go with it. Even with a small team, they follow the latest Firefox releases and push an update as soon as possible.
In contrast, the Mozilla Foundation is a much bigger organization and has been setting extraordinary examples to promote customizability, privacy, and security.
You will be receiving updates faster than LibreWolf, which is an important aspect if you are worried about your browser’s security.
There are no critical downsides of Firefox being a part of something bigger, but there may be some future decisions (or changes) that you may not like, put forward by Mozilla for its users.
But, LibreWolf as a community project will keep user preferences as its priority.
### Final Verdict
If convenience is your thing where you require sync/sign-in account features, Mozilla-specific offerings, and essential privacy protections, Mozilla Firefox should suit you better.
In case you do not want cloud-sync features, extras, and hardcore privacy-focused settings out of the box, LibreWolf will be the perfect solution.
Performance-wise, both should offer similar experiences. The benchmarks test (Basemark 3.0, Speedometer 2.0) didn’t work with LibreWolf for some reason, so I did not include any performance comparison chart.
I will prefer using Firefox because I do need the convenience of account-based sync without aggressive blocking capability. However, LibreWolf is a solid alternative for those who want to switch away from Firefox or just want to try something that’s laser-focused on user freedom and privacy.
What will it be for you? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

LibreWolf vs Firefox：比较开源浏览器的隐私英雄
======
火狐是最好的跨平台[开源网络浏览器][1]之一。
更不用说，它是作为基于 Chromium 的替代品的唯一可行的选择。或者，它是吗？
LibreWolf 是另一个有趣的选择，它最初是一个火狐浏览器的分叉，试图比火狐浏览器做得更好，以增强隐私/安全，开箱即用。
但是，选择 LibreWolf 而不是 Firefox 真的有用吗？有哪些不同之处？让我们来看一看。
### 用户界面
考虑到 [LibreWolf][2] 是 Firefox 的一个分叉，用户界面是相同的，只是有一些细微的变化。
![Firefox UI][3]
例如，它在书签菜单中没有火狐网站的链接，并且去除了 “Add to Pocket” 按钮。
取而代之的是，你可以在地址栏的右边找到一个扩展的图标和下载管理器。
![LibreWolf UI][4]
是的，你不再需要前往菜单来访问下载。
如果你认为 Firefox 中的额外功能是恼人的，那 么LibreWolf 应该是一种干净的体验。
### 搜索供应商
默认情况下，Firefox 使用谷歌作为其搜索引擎，考虑到它们是官方合作伙伴，也就是说，谷歌付费成为默认搜索引擎。
![][5]
虽然你可以很容易地将默认的搜索供应商改为 DuckDuckGo、Startpage 或其他任何东西，但默认的搜索供应商对大多数用户来说仍然是一个大问题。
当谈到 LibreWolf 时，默认的搜索引擎是 DuckDuckGo。众所周知，它是最好的隐私友好搜索引擎之一。
![][6]
应该注意的是，注重隐私的搜索引擎在某些使用情况下可能不如谷歌好。因此，如果搜索引擎的选择并不困扰你，火狐浏览器可以说是很好。
但是，如果你想对自己的搜索历史保密，LibreWolf 的默认搜索供应商可以证明是一个更好的选择。
### 强化的隐私
Mozilla Firefox 具有令人难以置信的可定制性。如果你想付出努力，你可以在 Firefox 上增强数字隐私。
然而，如果你想避免投入大量时间来调整 Firefox 的体验，LibreWolf 可以是一个不错的选择。
LibreWolf 具有一些开箱即用的最佳设置，以确保你摆脱网上的跟踪器，并有一个安全的在线体验。
例如，它的默认功能是 UBlock 内容拦截器，以消除跟踪你在线活动的跟踪器/脚本。默认的搜索引擎是 DuckDuckGo，在一定程度上也有帮助。
![][7]
此外，LibreWolf 还启用了 Firefox 的增强型跟踪保护的严格模式。换句话说，它可以积极地阻止跟踪器，这可能会导致一些网页不能像预期那样工作。
![][8]
虽然 LibreWolf 建议不要改变这些设置，但如果你发现网页在设置中出现故障，你可以选择使用 Firefox。
Firefox 使用启用的基本保护来摆脱常见的追踪器，而不会破坏网页的用户体验。
除了这些设置外，LibreWolf 还默认在退出时删除 cookies 和网站数据。如果你想继续登录网站并迅速恢复你的浏览会话，这可能是令人讨厌的。
当是 Firefox 时，它确实具有相同的选项，但它仍然是默认禁用的。因此，如果你想避免调整内置设置以获得方便的体验，你应该选择 Firefox。
![][9]
难怪 Firefox 仍然是[可用于 Linux的 最佳浏览器][10]之一。大多数用户相比增强隐私更喜欢方便，同时还能跨平台使用浏览器。
### 谷歌安全浏览
谷歌安全浏览是一项有用的服务，可以警告/标记可疑网站的恶意活动。
大多数浏览器使用它来实现安全的用户体验。你不需要成为发现钓鱼/恶意软件网站的专家，谷歌安全浏览可以帮助你发现它们。
Mozilla Firefox 使用它的另一个名字是 “**钓鱼保护**“，它是默认启用的。
然而，在 LibreWolf 中，谷歌安全浏览服务默认是禁用的，以避免连接到谷歌服务。你可以启用它，但它不是用户在设置浏览器时寻找的东西。
![][11]
因此，如果你想在避免恶意网站方面获得额外帮助，Firefox 应该是一个很好的开箱即用的解决方案。如果你知道自己在做什么，你可以使用 LibreWolf，并在需要时启用该设置。
### 附加功能
LibreWolf 可以摆脱 Firefox 上的任何附加产品。
例如，LibreWolf 默认没有与 Mozilla 服务器的任何连接。它所反映的一些变化包括：
* LibreWolf 中没有同步/签到功能。
* 没有 “Add to Pocket” 的按钮
* 你不会在扩展页面上加载 Mozilla 的附加组件/主题。
![][12]
如果你想使用 Mozilla 帐户来同步你的历史记录/书签和浏览器数据，Firefox 是最好的选择。如果你喜欢使用它，还有 Firefox VPN。
![][13]
但是，如果你不信任任何 Mozilla 服务并希望在你的浏览器上切断与它们的任何连接，那么 LibreWolf 就是你的朋友。
### 跨平台支持
Firefox 可用于 Android 和 iOS，并且适用于各种屏幕尺寸和设备。
不幸的是，LibreWolf 仅限于 macOS、Windows、OpenBSD 和 Linux 等桌面平台。
### 基于社区 vs 由组织支持
[LibreWolf][14] 是一个由社区支持的项目，由一些热情的贡献者维护，旨在促进隐私、安全和用户自由。
如果你更喜欢 LibreWolf 提供的产品，那么使用它应该不是问题。即使是一个小团队，他们也会关注最新的 Firefox 版本并尽快推送更新。
相比之下，Mozilla 基金会是一个更大的组织，并且一直在树立非凡的榜样来促进可定制性、隐私和安全性。
你将比 LibreWolf 更快地收到更新，如果你担心浏览器的安全性，这是一个重要方面。
Firefox 成为更大事物的一部分并没有严重的缺点，但是 Mozilla 为其用户提出的未来可能会有一些你可能不喜欢的决定（或更改）。
但是，LibreWolf 作为一个社区项目，会优先考虑用户偏好。
### 最后的评语
如果方便是你在意的，你需要同步/登录账户功能，Mozilla 特定提供的，以及基本的隐私保护，Mozilla Firefox 应该更适合你。
如果你不想要开箱即用的云同步功能、附加功能和以隐私为中心的核心设置，LibreWolf 将是完美的解决方案。
在性能方面，两者都应该提供类似的体验。由于某种原因，基准测试（Basemark 3.0、Speedometer 2.0）不适用于 LibreWolf，因此我没有提供任何性能比较图表。
我更喜欢使用 Firefox，因为我确实需要基于帐户的同步的便利性，而不需要积极的阻止功能。然而，对于那些想要放弃 Firefox 或者只是想尝试一些专注于用户自由和隐私的东西的人来说，LibreWolf 是一个可靠的选择。
它对你而言怎么样？在下面的评论中让我知道你的想法。
