LibreWolf Is A Web Browser For Privacy and Freedom

LibreWolf is a fork of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom. Librewolf strips out all of the telemetry from Firefox and enables a bunch extra security settings out of the box. It has uBlock installed by default and it supports privacy conscious search engines.

life without an adblocker in <current year> is a hellish nightmare, good to see it's default in librewolf

DT - no need to install the HTTPS everywhere addon - LW has HTTPS-Only Mode enabled by default

Been using LibreWolf for a few weeks and it runs really well. I had to put the remember history back for ease of use but it runs so good on old hardware and has not crashed once on Pop! OS. In fact, I've liked it so much I started looking for ways to support it.

a good way to get around the local file issue, is if you already have hosting, just host the plain HTML page on your hosting and point to it for your home page. :)

Installed, loving it so far. Running Manjaro with XFCE on my Macbook Air because I was concerned about Apple spying - so disabling Mozilla spying made a lot of sense too. Thank you!

I was rather disappointed with Mozilla's ridiculous endorsement of censorship over the President suppossedly endorsing violence when he in fact did the opposite. I will definitely check out LibreWolf because I prefer Mozilla's presentation but without their corporate attitude.

I don't have time, to check everything what's available. Thanks for recommendation.

My problem with Firefox is their lack of support for free speech as you mentioned in a previous video. I'm interested in FOSS, but free speech is even more important to me.

I used librewolf for a while, my only disappointment was that I couldn't import my firefox credentials

[camerontgore]

Awesome! I've been looking for a new browser since your last firefox video for my Arco build.

[williammoule-fortin]

Hell yeah! Another DT upload to make my day! Keep up the great work!

The more these companies go woke the more users leave them.

Hey dt this lets you use a local fine > new-tab-override

oh looks like you have it just disabled

[canonpi]

Hey dt, what is that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" thing on top of the preferences page?

[billsemmendinger]

I'm using Homer as a home page in firefox. It allows me to open the different service in my home lab. I'm using "new tab override" to open the home page on other tabs. The downside is it doesn't clear the address bar so you have to remember to do it manually. Good video

Thanks Derek, for all the interesting and cool videos. I enjoy them very much.

I'm testing GNU IceCat (which celebrated its release birthday recently), it seems to work nicely though. It compiled in 2:20 hours on my machine 😃 I like GNU IceCat 😊🐱 Not sure if I want to have 25 browsers installed at some point, but I might have a look at Libre Wolf.

first search on Internet returns > "Librewolf is promoted as "the community-maintained fork of Librefox: a privacy and security-focused browser" however Librewolf is suffering from the same problems as Waterfox. Librewolf is a set of scripts and patches that removes the Firefox telemetry feature among other things. However, a network dump reveals that the very first time Librewolf is started it immediately contacts the Mozilla add-on CDN, Amazon Cloudfront, and several other places even though automatic updates of extensions is disabled by default." // unixsheikh.com

Thanks, I just installed it from the AUR. It installed without issue. I then added it to FireJail.

[demonicavenger]

Well this looks great. I think I'll give it a try.
