LibreWolf is a free and open-source web browser and fork of Firefox that intends to place an emphasis on privacy and security.[1][2]

Development

LibreWolf was initially released for Linux operating systems on March 7 2020.[3] A community-maintained version for Windows was released a year later with a macOS port planned.[4][5] It can also be installed via a portable AppImage or via the Microsoft Store and Windows Package Manager.[6][7]

Features

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.[8][9][10]
