Librewolf is a version of Firefox with Mozilla's odious spyware removed.
## Running
Press <kbd>super + w</kbd> or run `librewolf` in dmenu.
## Improvements to Librewolf in LARBS
### Arkenfox's user.js
With LARBS, [Arkenfox's user.js](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) is installed by default.
This is a set of default settings that set settings that increase user privacy and decrease the possibility of fingerprinting.
### Other tweaks
Other annoying Firefox features have been disabled, such as push notifications and the pocket.
With any of these settings or the Arkenfox ones, they can be changed in `about:config`.
### Add-ons
Several add-ons come installed by default.
Note that they can be immediately enabled by the user in the top right corner, but might not come enabled.
- [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/) -- ad-blocker.
- [Decentraleyes](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/) -- third-party tracking protection.
- [I still don't care about cookies](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/istilldontcareaboutcookies/) -- removes those stupid cookie notifications that the EU forced on us.
- [Vim Vixen](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vim-vixen/) -- vim key-bindings.
- [KeePassXC Browser](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepassxc-browser/) -- browser plugin for using KeePass password database.
- [SponsorBlock](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/) -- really cool add-on that uses user input to indentify and skip ad reads in YouTube videos.
- [Unhooked](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-recommended-videos/) -- hides everything except video player in YouTube (with option to individually turn off certain elements. Not only guards against going down rabbit holes, but also gives the web page a cleaner look.
- [ClearURLs](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/) -- uses the shortest form of URLs by getting of tracking info in url.
