LibreWolf Will Turn Six in March, It Already (Probably) Has Millions of Users

Mozilla continues to make Firefox worse in all sorts of ways - more ways than we can even keep track of anymore.

Some years ago LibreWolf emerged as a response to it. Some time later it also recognised that code hosting matters (Firefox got outsourced to Microsoft) and accordingly moved to Codeberg (not as a mere mirror; they do everything there). "The LibreWolf team is like... 10 people working for free," a recent comment said.

In their Web site, this is how they "market" the browser:

Rianne wrote about it 4 years ago (it was originally only for GNU/Linux). Back then Firefox wasn't as bad as it is now.

It's not possible to know the number of users LibreWolf has; because it doesn't track users. Thousands of Windows users download it from Softonic and the Flathub repository indicates over "1,480,762" installs. █
