Closed rywng closed 2 years ago

rywng commented 2 years ago

Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, it is for users who don't want to sacrifice Internet speed using tor, but still want privacy and freedom. Below is the introduction taken from https://librewolf.net/

This project is an independent fork of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.

LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

Sorry for the delay, I've been thinking about this addition, and it's made me realize there's a fuzzy line for where a fork becomes independent enough of a project to warrant a distinct addition to this list. I was initially leaning towards saying that this doesn't warrant a distinct addition, since it's still so heavy on the fact that it's a fork in its own branding, BUT - since then, I've happened to see Librewolf pop up as an independent addition in some lists like this, so now I've changed my tune.

Thank you for the addition, and welcome Librewolf to the list!
