A hardened Firefox fork that strips telemetry and bundles tracker blocking.

LibreWolf is an independent desktop browser built from current Firefox stable releases with privacy- and security-focused defaults. It removes Mozilla telemetry and experiments, disables DRM, includes uBlock Origin, and ships with privacy-oriented search options.

Why it stands out

  • Keeps close to Firefox stable, so users get familiar extension and website compatibility while using stricter defaults.
  • Removes telemetry, experiments, adware-style extras, and DRM rather than merely adding privacy settings on top.
  • Ships with uBlock Origin already included, reducing setup needed for content blocking.
  • Community-run and open source, with public repositories and discussion channels for contributions and issue reports.

Good to know

  • Disabling DRM can prevent playback on some streaming or protected-media sites.
  • The listed installers target desktop operating systems; it is not presented as a mobile browser.
  • Privacy-hardened defaults may require occasional setting changes for websites that expect standard Firefox behavior.
  • LibreWolf is independent and not affiliated with Mozilla, despite being based on Firefox.

Under the radar: Before changing random about:config values, check LibreWolf’s Settings and Overrides documentation; it explains which defaults are intentional and how to adjust them without fighting future updates.
