What is LibreWolf?

LibreWolf is just like Firefox, but it has all the recommended security setings and add-ons built in for you.

To be technical, LibreWolf, in essence, is just two files:

  • librewolf.cfg - All the recomended privacy settings.
  • policies.json - Install privacy add-ons, remove all big tech search engines, and makes duckduckgo the default search engine.

That's it the rest should be your normal Firefox. DOWNLOAD SETUP

What else do I need to know?

  • Librewolf installs on your machine as administrator, so you can't change everything you want. Certain things we consider just too unsafe: and then we keep that setting locked.
  • Windows and macOS don't have automatic updates.
  • We do make changes to the firefox source, but these are minor things.
  • We don't like pocket. Sorry, you can't have your pocket. Or whatever cloud service, just the browser.
  • Updates are different per platform we deploy on.
