Your browser shouldn’t report back on you.
But most do.
Behind the scenes, they collect:
• browsing history
• search queries
• usage patterns
• device fingerprints
LibreWolf removes all of it:
• no telemetry
• no background tracking
• no hidden data collection
• built-in ad & tracker blocker
• anti-fingerprinting protection
• no experiments or “silent” features
What you get:
• a clean browsing experience
• better performance
• real privacy by default
