About LibreWolf
LibreWolf is Firefox with different defaults. Cookies and site data are deleted when the browser closes, only privacy-respecting search engines are listed, uBlock Origin ships with custom filter lists, tracking protection runs in strict mode and tracking parameters are stripped from URLs.
It also enables dFPI (Total Cookie Protection) and Resist Fingerprinting, which the project describes as the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution from the Tor Uplift work. Telemetry and studies are removed rather than switched off.
Strengths
- Deletes cookies and website data on close by default
- Ships uBlock Origin with custom default filter lists and strict tracking protection
- Strips tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBlock Origin
- Enables Total Cookie Protection and Resist Fingerprinting from the Tor Uplift project
Limitations
- The aggressive defaults break some sites and log you out every time you close the browser
- Resist Fingerprinting changes timezone and window size reporting, which confuses a few web apps
- No official Android or iOS build
