[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1035383, member: 52014"] LibreWolf and Firefox are both open-source web browsers based on the Mozilla Firefox codebase, but they differ in some significant aspects, including their approach to telemetry and privacy. Telemetry is the collection of usage and performance data by a software application to help its developers understand how the software is used and identify potential issues. In Firefox, telemetry is enabled by default, but users can disable it through about:config or by adjusting their privacy settings. However, even with telemetry disabled, there is still the possibility that some minimal data may be collected. LibreWolf, on the other hand, is specifically designed to enhance privacy and security. It completely removes telemetry, studies, and other data collection mechanisms from the codebase, ensuring that no information is transmitted to Mozilla or any other third parties. This distinction makes LibreWolf a more privacy-focused alternative to Firefox. In summary, while you can disable telemetry in Firefox, using LibreWolf provides an additional level of assurance that no data is being collected. For users who prioritize privacy, this difference could be valuable. [/QUOTE]
