===== LibreWolf (desktop) =====

[[https://librewolf.net/|LibreWolf]] is a custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom. It is kept up-to-date with the latest stable Firefox branch. It is available for most major GNU/Linux distros and also for Windows and MacOS.

In case you are not using a tiling window manager (like i3 or Awesome) you may want to disable "resistFingerprinting" for a more seamless usage. However for maximum privacy protection it is recommended to keep it enabled. More info [[https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#what-are-the-most-common-downsides-of-rfp-resist-fingerprinting|here]]. It is also recommended to use [[https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode#how-to-enable-this-mode|medium mode in uBlock Origin]], but it breaks functionality of some sites, so I decided to keep the default iBlock Origin settings.

You can disable or enable "resistFingerprinting" in LibreWolf's settings or directly in the config file. This is the content of my ''librewolf.overrides.cfg'' (I'm using a tiling WM most of the time, so resistFingerprinting is enabled, my WM adapts LibreWolf's window size automatically).
<code>
defaultPref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", enable);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.history", false);
defaultPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads", true);
pref("javascript.use_us_english_locale", false);
pref("intl.accept_languages", "cs, en, de, en-US");
</code>

You may want to use other language codes for ''accept_languages'', of course. See [[https://librewolf.net/docs/settings/#overrides-how-to|LibreWolf config file]] for details about the cfg.

//Sidenote:// I do **not** recommend using [[https://www.waterfox.net/|Waterfox]] browser because its source code uses a very distinct (outdated) branch from Firefox, therefore it has security holes and also contains Google tracking code. Besides that it is a little bit more heavy on RAM and CPU compared to vanilla Firefox and LibreWolf (it's clearly missing some optimizations).

===== Mull (mobile / AndroidOS) =====

[[https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps#mull|Mull]] is a great mobile browser, a privacy oriented and deblobbed web browser based on Mozilla technology. Available directly on [[https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/|F-Droid]] or after adding [[https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps#repos|DivestOS official F-Droid repository]] (update 2024-10-27: the F-Droid repository has an outdated Mull version, use DivestOS repository).
