But Firefox Developer’s Edition is for learning web dev in and it’s ideal for that purpose as without any adjustments, I can see how my projects would look on any modern web browser. Don’t get me wrong I still use Ublock Origin and Decentraleyes on the FireFox Development Edition browser, but other than using https only in the settings and remembering NOTHING, I don’t do the extra hardening that I apply/is preapplied to Librewolf.īasically Librewolf is hardened like crazy which I also use with a protonvpn connection made for private browsing (just don’t want my data to be profited from…sorry FAANG) which still gives me better speeds than TOR. Try running a Tor Browser over a VPN and you’ll get what I mean, it 's just slow by comparison to a browser with no restrictions put on it. I use Librewolf as my major search browser, but keep a less privacy oriented version of Firefox Development Edition for coding projects, etc.īasically privacy costs speed. I use a service so what do I want to give back in return? Only the sun rises for free, is an expression here Best I’ve found is to work ones way to a solution that makes one feel comfortable with the ‘transaction’. If one wants a modern feature rich browser, the development needs to be financed somehow, some form of payment is in order, developers need a roof, food and a life to. For minimal use cases, the surf browser or project Gemini are interesting avenues to pursue but not for everyone. If you want privacy, the tor browser / VPN / pihole / noscript / add blockers, containers, extensions, etc are viable options. Waterfox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and loads more. There are some alternatives, all with their benefits, and drawbacks.
#LIBREWOLF BROWSER CODE#
Taking upstream code and modifying it to do something the original developers had not envisioned and keeping it all in sync to get the upstream benefit and the downstream value. A browser is it’s own OS nowadays so it becomes rather complex, so there will be all kinds of issues. Settings protection: important settings are enforced/locked within librewolf.cfg and policies.json, those settings cannot be changed by addons/updates/LibreWolf itself or unwanted/accidental manipulation To change those settings you can easily do it by editing librewolf.cfg and seems like a major effort from the people building and maintaining it.
#LIBREWOLF BROWSER WINDOWS#
User settings updates: gHacks/pyllyukko base is kept up to date. LibreWolf Browser Windows Windows Project ID: 13852981 Star 181 483 Commits 2 Branches 69 Tags 14.3 GB Project Storage. In other words, zero unauthorized or background connections by default. IJWY (I Just Want You To Shut Up): embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser.Įxtensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. You will have the the latest features, and security updates.Ĭompletely Independent Build: LibreWolf uses a completely independent build from Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. Latest Version of Firefox: LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. LibreWolf is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products. LibreWolf uses more than 500 privacy/security/performance settings, patches, LibreWolf-Addons (optional) and is designed to minimize data collection and telemetry as much as possible (updater, crashreporter and Firefox’s integrated addons that don’t respect privacy are removed). It is the community run successor to LibreFox This project is an independent fork of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom.
