How to Disable Telemetry in Librewolf Completely - LibreWolf

LibreWolf comes with telemetry disabled by default, so you don't need to take additional steps to disable telemetry in LibreWolf completely. The browser is specifically designed as a privacy-focused Firefox fork that blocks data collection and tracking automatically.

Understanding LibreWolf's Default Privacy Settings

LibreWolf 148.0.2 removes telemetry, tracking scripts, and data collection features that standard Firefox includes. When you install LibreWolf on Windows or Linux, privacy protection is already active. No configuration needed. The developers have stripped away telemetry infrastructure entirely, meaning Mozilla's data collection systems won't run in the background.

Verifying Your Privacy Protection

Want extra peace of mind? Open LibreWolf and navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security. Scroll to the "Firefox Data Collection and Use" section. You'll see checkboxes for telemetry, studies, and crash reports—all remain unchecked by default. These toggles stay disabled even after updates.

The browser won't send usage statistics to Mozilla or third parties.

Additional Privacy Hardening Steps

Although telemetry is already disabled, you can strengthen tracking protection further. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection and select "Strict." This blocks more cookies and fingerprinting scripts. Disable DNS-over-HTTPS if you prefer your ISP not seeing encrypted DNS queries. Clear cookies and site data on exit by enabling "Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed."

LibreWolf handles the heavy lifting for you. The browser's entire purpose centers on preventing data collection and maintaining user anonymity. Unlike Firefox, which requires manual configuration to disable telemetry settings, LibreWolf eliminates these concerns from installation forward.

For maximum protection, use LibreWolf as your daily browser without worrying about background telemetry collection.
