Development

LibreWolf was initially released for Linux operating systems on March 7, 2020.[6] The goal of the LibreWolf project was to create a more privacy-focused version of Firefox.[7] A community-maintained version for Windows was released a year later, with a macOS port released soon after.[8][9]

Features

LibreWolf does not include telemetry or auto-updating, and certain features like Pocket are disabled.[10][11][12] It does not have sponsored shortcuts.

By default, LibreWolf deletes the user's cookies and history when the browser is closed, but that feature can be disabled.[13][7][14] LinuxSecurity noted that LibreWolf may not have full compatibility with some websites.[7]

By default, Firefox Sync is disabled for Librewolf, though it is possible to enable it in the Librewolf settings.[15]

According to the website PrivacyTests.org in 2022, LibreWolf, along with Brave Browser and Tor Browser, had the most privacy protection compared to other browsers.[16][17]
