Brave is no longer the browser with the best privacy in the world: this is LibreWolf, a real tomb


Share

LibreWolf, a web browser based on Firefox, has managed to become the most private browser.

privacy is one of the issues that most concerns Internet users. Over time, the truth is that many trackers and advertising partners have been discovered that offer private information to third parties, sometimes with the intention of improving the services offered. Some popular web browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge tend to tolerate this quite well, whereas until now those looking to protect themselves used to turn to other solutions such as the Brave browseruntil now considered as the private.

However, it is curious to see how in the PrivacyTests.org web tests, an independent entity that is in charge of periodically reviewing how well web browsers work in terms of privacy, a new browser has unmarked Brave as the most private browser. Your name it’s LibreWolf and it doesn’t happen to be one of the best knownbut takes the accolade for least tolerant of crawlers.

This is LibreWolf, the new browser considered the most private

As we mentioned, in the June edition of the browser privacy tests, the new winner is LibreWolf. It is true that Brave is not too far away either, but first this browser is the most private with its latest desktop version available, which can be obtained for free from its website.

Also, it explains how it works. It is not a new browser but the evolution of WaterFox, although its operation is very similar. FreeWolf uses the free core of Mozilla Firefox to be able to work, to the point that it receives the same updates (you will always have the same latest features, security patches and more). However, it has above a much more private layer.

About her, all is deactivated bloatware of Firefox to give a much cleaner experience. Also, many of the trackers are restrictedand there will be no trace of intrusive search engines like Google or Bing, with options like DuckDuckGo, Searx or Qwant arriving instead. In LibreWolf there is also no place for telemetry or advertising customized, as it integrates the popular uBlock Origin ad blocker as standard. In this way, although the browsing experience may be affected in some specific cases, you will always know that your information and privacy will be safe with this browser.

In this way, today if you want to keep your privacy to the maximum online, LibreWolf is probably the most recommended private browser you can get, ahead of even Brave. As mentioned on its installation page, it is perfectly compatible with operating systems such as Windows, macOS, OpenBSD and some of the Linux distributions popular ones such as Debian (including Ubuntu), Fedora or Arch Linux, so you will not have any problems in this regard either.
