LibreWolf
Firefox with the tracking and telemetry removed and strict privacy on by default.
Instead of Chrome, Edge
Screenshot from librewolf.net, taken 2026-10-23, shown to help you recognise the tool. It belongs to its maker. Ask us to remove it.
LibreWolf is a community fork of Firefox that ships with telemetry off, tracking protection on and a stricter set of defaults. It uses Firefox's engine, so most sites work.
The strict defaults break some sites until you loosen them, and a small volunteer team keeps it up, so Longevity and Delivery are a 3 each.
