LibreWolf is a web browser and fork of Firefox with an emphasis on privacy and security. It is a custom and independent version of Firefox that aims to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also removing all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances.
Installation
To install LibreWolf system wide add the following line to your system configuration
/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.librewolf ];
Configuration
It is possible to configure certain presets of LibreWolf using the Home Manager module.
/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
home-manager.users.myuser = {
programs.librewolf = {
enable = true;
# Enable WebGL, cookies and history
settings = {
"webgl.disabled" = false;
"privacy.resistFingerprinting" = false;
"privacy.clearOnShutdown.history" = false;
"privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" = false;
"network.cookie.lifetimePolicy" = 0;
};
};
};
This example configures LibreWolf to enable WebGL, remember cookies and history by disabling privacy and security defaults. This compromises the privacy concept of LibreWolf and is therefore not recommended to use.
