🇪🇺

by LibreWolf

LibreWolf is a community-maintained fork of Firefox ESR that launched in 2020, built by privacy-minded volunteers who found Firefox's default telemetry and DRM support unacceptable. It ships with uBlock Origin pre-installed, resist-fingerprinting enabled by default, and all telemetry completely stripped out. The project operates through volunteer contributions coordinated on Codeberg, a German nonprofit code forge, and explicitly rejects donations to avoid administrative overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there European alternatives to Firefox?
Yes, there are European alternatives to Firefox. Headquarters, hosting, encryption, and compliance are separate facts, so compare features and verify each provider's current privacy, security, and hosting documentation.
Why should I switch from Firefox to an EU alternative?
A European provider can support procurement or data-sovereignty goals, but it does not automatically guarantee European hosting, encryption, GDPR compliance, or immunity from foreign law. Verify the provider's policies and seek legal advice where required.
Is Firefox GDPR compliant?
As a US-based company, Firefox may transfer and process your data in the United States. While they may have GDPR compliance measures, your data could still be subject to US laws including the CLOUD Act.
