<h1>Librewolf</h1>
<p>Librewolf is a Firefox fork with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.<sup><a href="#s1">[1]</a></sup></p>
<p>Version tested: 95.0.2</p>
<h2>Spyware Level: <span class="yellowgreen">Low</span></h2>
<p>Librewolf makes some calls on startup to <code>f.s.s.m.c.qjz9zk</code> which looks like an obliterated address, and <code>shavar.services.mozilla.com</code> which is intended (however it can be disabled by clearing the URL in <code>browser.safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.updateURL</code>).<sup><a href="#s2">[2]</a></sup> There is also an attempt to check for updates regarding the pre-installed uBlock Origin extension.</p>
<p>This is a big improvement compared to Firefox.</p>
