LibreWolf is a free and open-source web browser and fork of Firefox which intends to place an emphasis on privacy and security.[1][2][3]
Development[edit]
LibreWolf was initially released for Linux operating systems on March 7, 2020.[4] A community-maintained version for Windows was released a year later, with a macOS port planned.[5][6] It can also be installed via a portable AppImage or via the Microsoft Store and Windows Package Manager.[7][8]
Features[edit]
LibreWolf does not include telemetry and has uBlock Origin pre-installed. Certain features like Pocket are also disabled, and the auto-update function has been removed.[9][10][11]
