What is LibreWolf?
This project is an independent fork of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox
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).
LibreWolf is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products.
Features Latest Version of Firefox: LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Completely Independent Build: LibreWolf uses a completely independent build from Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. IJWY (I Just Want You To Shut Up): embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, zero unauthorized or background connections by default. User settings updates: gHacks/pyllyukko base is kept up to date. 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 policies.json. LibreWolf-addons: set of optional LibreWolf extensions Statistics disabled: telemetry and similar functions are disabled Tested settings: settings are performance aware Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Dark theme (classic and advanced) Recommended and code reviewed addons list Community-Driven And much more…

Firefox.... the way it should be.
Very privacy oriented, less useless features, works with Firefox extensions, not based on Chromium
LibreWolf is great for privacy despite the many browsers advertising privacy, this browser is one of the few that actually has privacy settings with a base install. Works well with privacy extensions, but some of the browser integration in kde is broken. Windows users don't deserve this level of privacy.

I was using Firefox nightly for a long time, but I switched to Librewolf in August and I have to say it's my perfect browser.
It is a wonderful out of the box hardened version of Firefox.
It is Firefox but des-mozillaled without spyware, but you must change browser.safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.updateURL in about:config clearing the URL there for 0 auto connections and change config of add-ons for no auto update if you don't want it. Also if you have some problems with something like Webgl and you need it on simply go settings, then down-left Librewolf support and then Settings and Overrides, if you don't find what are you looking you can always chat with the community. Best fork of Firefox.
Because it is firefox but without spyware or tracking, with a better fingerprintign defence and with a good community that doesn't want only money.
