LibreWolf’s browser-linux repository hosts the Linux-specific build and associated scripts for LibreWolf, a free and open-source web browser that’s a community-driven fork of Firefox with a strong emphasis on privacy, security, and user freedom. Unlike mainstream browsers that collect telemetry or nudge users toward proprietary features, LibreWolf removes telemetry and many “data collection” mechanisms by default and ships with hardened privacy configurations geared toward minimizing tracking and unwanted online profiling. It also disables certain features like automatic updates or cloud synchronization out of the box, putting control back in the hands of the user and making it suitable for privacy-conscious individuals and organizations. Because this repository focuses on Linux builds, it includes tooling and CI configurations to compile and package up-to-date versions of the browser for common Linux distributions, with maintainers rolling in the latest Firefox security patches.
