# README
By default, LibreWolf is probably the better choice over Firefox as it already disables most of telemetry and tracking.
## Install
Get LibreWolf from website.
Add the `librewolf.overrides.cfg` to the `$HOME/.librewolf` folder and adapt to your needs.
Remove leading `//` to enable a setting. You need to restart (all instances of) LibreWolf afterwards. You can cross-check if they have been applied by typing `about:config` in the browser navigation bar and search for the setting.
## Recommended extensions
Besides LibreWolf's integrated anti-tracking mechanisms, it's still advised to install additional plugins to further enhance this.
In addition, some of those extensions will also greatly improve your user experience: fewer ads, faster page loads. Remember, you can also switch them off (disable), you don't need to uninstall.
**Highly recommended to have all of them allowed in Incognito Mode as well.**
See [arkenfox extensions recommendations](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions).
### Must have
* `uBlock Origin`: blocks ads and unwanted trackers, also removes certain url parameters (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/)
**Hint**: Extensions impacting redirects or cookies _might_ lead to malfunctioning of some websites. If you encounter this, it's **recommended to disable them _per page_** and **NOT** globally! First could shot can be setting an exception for a page inside uBlock.!
You can **hide extension icons** in the overflow menu if you like. Just right click the icon in the top right in the menu bar and "pin to overflow".
#### uBlock settings
* Import the `ublock.txt` in the "My Filter" menu for proper settings from the [extension_settings/](./../browser_extension_settings/) folder within the extension.
* Import `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gwarser/filter-lists/master/lan-block.txt` in "Filter lists" (Custom)
### Advanced, but highly recommended extensions / software to use
Use a password manager and don't store or synchronize your passwords within internal browser functionality, e.g., `KeePassXC` or `Bitwarden` with a custom provider
## Recommended search engines
If not possible in another way, you can add them via [Add custom search engine](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/). Just follow instructions after installing and opening the extension.
```shell
# Tied to "Germany" for search results, maybe you like to change this
# Then generate a different URL
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&ks=l&kav=1&kn=1&kp=-2&kak=-1&kax=-1&kaq=-1&kao=-1&kau=-1&kaj=m&kam=google-maps&k1=-1&kae=c
```

```
Be sure to add shortcuts to be used in your navigation bar, e.g. `@ddg` refers to DuckDuckGo search engine and directly issues searches to DuckDuckGo from the navigation bar and does not use the default search engine, but your default!
## Additional hints
Besides securing LibreWolf, you should consider not using the DNS servers of your Internet provider and instead install system-wide [DNS alternatives](https://www.kuketz-blog.de/empfehlungsecke/#dns) or a [local DNS server](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unbound) which directly queries root DNS servers. There's really no downside of this.
