LibreWolf is a free and open-source fork of Firefox, with an emphasis on privacy and security. It is licensed under the MPL 2.0.
Development
LibreWolf was initially released for Linux operating systems on March 7, 2020. The goal of the LibreWolf project was to create a more privacy-focused version of Firefox. A community-maintained version for Windows was released a year later, with a macOS port released soon after. It can also be installed via a portable AppImage or via the Microsoft Store and Windows Package Manager.
Features
LibreWolf does not include telemetry or auto-updating and certain features like Pocket are disabled. It does not have sponsored shortcuts or cloud sync.
By default, LibreWolf deletes the user's cookies and history when the browser is closed, but that feature can be disabled. LinuxSecurity noted that LibreWolf may not have full compatibility with some websites.
According to the website PrivacyTests.org, LibreWolf, along with Brave Browser and Tor Browser, had the most privacy protection compared to other browsers.
