For those people who really need a comprehensively enhanced version of Firefox, LibreWolf can be a good alternative.
Install librewolf install#
Alternatively, installation and updating is also possible through the package managers Chocolatey ("choco install librewolf") and WinGet ("winget install librewolf"). LibreWolf does not have a built-in update mechanism, so new versions for Windows must be installed manually through the previous version. Among other things, the developers have disabled Google Safe Browsing and IPv6 by default, which may limit security and possibly adjust functionality. In many cases, this is implemented using group policies and a special configuration file, and uBlock Origin is also supplied directly as an extension. The developers listed in the documentation how their program differs from the older brother. In addition, you will not be able to break anything, and security is guaranteed, since the program is always created promptly based on the latest source code of the stable version. The advantage of the LibreWolf browser is that experienced users are relieved of a lot of work here, although you should still be willing to spend some time with the browser to configure it. Especially for the latter, there is a new LibreWolf project, which recently took over most of the work in this direction.īefore you start working with the browser, one thing should be clarified: Strengthening Firefox protection is definitely a thing only for experienced users, and if you just want to surf and perform tasks, you'd better stick to the standard version of Fox and use the usual options available in the settings. For some, the innovations in November 2017 were too harsh, others criticize Pocket and the integration of telemetry, and still others just want to make the browser more secure for themselves.

Firefox is still one of the most popular open source web browsers in the world with more than 200 million users, but they do not always agree with the developments that Mozilla implements in its browser.
