LibreWolf, a browser with a focus on privacy and security
Available for Linux, OpenBSD, Windows and macOS
LibreWolf is a browser that is fork independent of Firefox, with the main goals of privacy, security and user freedom.
LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against fingerprinting and tracking techniques, while including some security improvements.
