Librefox is a privacy-enhanced Firefox configuration that enforces security and privacy without forking the browser.
Librefox: Firefox with privacy enhancements
Librefox is designed for privacy-conscious users who want to use Firefox with enhanced privacy, security, and performance settings without losing update compatibility. It is ideal for individuals seeking to minimize telemetry, block unauthorized connections, and control extension internet access while maintaining a familiar Firefox experience.
Librefox is not an official Mozilla product and should be used with understanding that some Firefox features (like updater and crashreporter) are removed to enhance privacy. Users should manually update Librefox to keep up with Firefox releases. Settings locked in configuration files prevent accidental or malicious changes but require manual edits to modify. The extensions firewall feature is experimental and may require user configuration.
