However, LibreWolf is a solid alternative for those who want to switch away from Firefox or just want to try something that’s laser-focused on user freedom and privacy. I prefer using Firefox because I need the convenience of account-based sync without aggressive blocking capability.
The benchmarks test (Basemark 3.0, Speedometer 2.0) didn’t work with LibreWolf for some reason, so I did not include any performance comparison chart. Performance-wise, both should offer similar experiences. In case you do not want cloud-sync features, extras, and hardcore privacy-focused settings out of the box, LibreWolf will be the perfect solution. If convenience is your thing where you require sync/sign-in account features, Mozilla-specific offerings, and essential privacy protections, Mozilla Firefox should suit you better. There are no critical downsides of Firefox being a part of something bigger, but there may be some future decisions (or changes) that you may not like, put forward by Mozilla for its users.īut, LibreWolf as a community project will keep user preferences as its priority.
You will be receiving updates faster than LibreWolf, which is an important aspect if you are worried about your browser’s security. In contrast, the Mozilla Foundation is a much bigger organization and has been setting extraordinary examples to promote customizability, privacy, and security. Even with a small team, they follow the latest Firefox releases and push an update as soon as possible. If you prefer what LibreWolf has to offer, it should not be a problem to go with it. LibreWolf is a community-powered project maintained by a few passionate contributors to promote privacy, security, and user freedom. Community-Based vs Backed by Organization Unfortunately, LibreWolf is limited to the desktop platforms like macOS, Windows, OpenBSD, and Linux. Cross-Platform Supportįirefox is available for Android and iOS, and works well with a wide range of screen sizes and devices.
However, if you do not trust any of the Mozilla services and prefer to sever any connections to them on your browser, LibreWolf is your friend.
