Frequently asked questions about LibreWolf
What is LibreWolf and what is it used for? +
LibreWolf is an open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox, developed by an international community on Codeberg. The browser removes Mozilla telemetry, disables DRM and Pocket integration, and ships uBlock Origin by default. Updates follow the Firefox stable releases, so security patches are available promptly. LibreWolf is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux (also via Flatpak and AUR).
Does LibreWolf run on European infrastructure? +
LibreWolf is a pure desktop application that does not collect telemetry or transfer data to external servers. This means there are no GDPR-relevant data flows to the developer. The source code is hosted on Codeberg, a German Git platform run by Codeberg e.V., based in Berlin. The project is funded through voluntary donations via OpenCollective and Liberapay and is not affiliated with Mozilla.
What distinguishes LibreWolf from Firefox? +
LibreWolf removes all proprietary Mozilla features and telemetry, activates strict privacy settings by default (Resist Fingerprinting, no sponsored content), and blocks add-on auto-updates. Users do not need manual about:config adjustments for a hardened profile. LibreWolf follows a consistently privacy-focused approach where default settings already provide maximum protection.
