While Chromium forks like Vanadium and Mulch also lag behind a day or two each release, it is not as easy to apply those security patches onto vanilla Chromium as you’d have to compile the browser yourself, so it’s worth the trade. This means users won’t receive security patches as quickly as Firefox users. Second, because LibreWolf is a community fork of Firefox developed by a small team, it will always be behind Firefox in updates by a few days. I don’t believe LibreWolf improves Firefox security but actually worsens it because they install uBlock Origin by default, which significantly increases attack surface and uses Manifest V2 which is being deprecated as it’s a huge security risk, and they disable Google Safebrowsing which is a necessary security feature to protect users from malicious URLs and Mozilla’s implementation is privacy-respecting. Firefox users can disable telemetry in the settings and in about:config. I’m against using LibreWolf for several reasons.įirst off, LibreWolf does not add anything new from Firefox.
