Librefox is a free and portable web browser that seeks to protect the privacy of our data

Now that the privacy of our data is more in solfa than ever, it is when we most value having good protection in our equipment and Wi-Fi networks. From having an ideal configuration that starts from our router, to the use of _software_ that offers minimal guarantees. And with everything and that, we never know if it will be enough.

In the case of browsers, we find options on the market that seek to guarantee minimum security parameters. We shouldn't get too complicated to be able to use alternatives like Firefox Focus, a browser for Android that claims to protect the privacy of our data.But if you want something similar but on your PC, you can always try alternatives like Librefox

With a name very similar to the browser of the golden fox, it is an open source alternative for those who do not trust the traditional browsers, with Google Chrome and its attractive personal data management leading the way.

Librefox is a web browser that is inspired by Firefox and not only in name, as aesthetically it bears many similarities. But yes, it adds an important layer of security and protection that seeks to guarantee the privacy of our data.

To do this, Librefox uses Ghacks user.js and other information to create a secure browser, for which it has removed automatic connections that, putting our privacy at risk, the browser does with Mozilla. Likewise, the use of pings, connections with Google, telemetry… has been controlled

So much so, that even a series of extensions have been created that, based on the search for the privacy of our data, they want to enhance the functionality of the browser. This is the case of the one that adds a dark theme, HTTP Watcher or adds the Reload button to Firefox. In addition, there are a number of recommended third-party extensions including uBlock Origin , Cookie Master, First Party Isolation (toggle), User Agent Platform Spoofer, and Privacy Plugins for browsers.

This browser is a new development, but despite its youth it even has several development branches that together with the stable version seek offer enhancements for users to test prior to release to the general public. There is even a version intended for use with the Tor network.

Librefox is available for Windows, Linux and macOS, both for 32 and 64 bits, also offering a notable advantage such as the have a version that does not require installation, something especially useful if we are not going to use it with our usual PC.

Librefox can be downloaded for free from Github, where we can also find out more at detail the improvements and possibilities it offers and think if we can adopt it as a trusted browser.
