browser option that makes life easier #librewolf

By logderman | foreverhereintheEther | 5 Jun 2024


the website is librewolf.net

Installing on Debian is trickier if your a noob, but the website gives clear instructions.

This browser is based on Firefox. However it removes the "Pocket" plugin and other bloat. Enables fingerprint resisting which makes your agent appear as Windows even if your using linux. You have to opt in to autofill and autosave of passwords. No telemetry enabled and you dont have to opt out. This is a browser that is opensource and they don't seem to care about making money.

You open the browser and there are no popups, nothing. It just works, no bull.

There is one plugin that is pre-installed. It's UBlock Origin. I personally enjoy this plugin because it blocks all ads and doesn't collect information on you. The plugin is also open source. If you haven't heard of UBlock Origin, its because they dont make money and dont spend money on advertising.

Other browsers claiming to be "private" are bloating their software with crypto bloat and other things that you need to opt out of (such as telemetry). Brave comes to mind because I used this browser for quite sometime before I knew anything about data collection.

Thank you
