    LibreWolf Browser

    The AppImage link to it is here.
    LibreWolf Documentation


    This project is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox

    LibreWolf is designed to minimize data collection and telemetry as much as possible. This is achieved through hundreds of privacy/security/performance settings and patches. Intrusive integrated addons including updater, crashreporter, and pocket are removed too.

    LibreWolf is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products.
    "minimize data collection and telemetry as much as possible"? Why not eliminate it 100%?
    But, I'm playing with it right now. It is rudimentry but puts up a block to "insecure" websites. However, their 'bypass" works, while that in FF93 does not.

    Their site recommends setting stuff in
    "Most distros and macOS -> ~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg"

    I didn't find that file but I noticed "SiteSecurityServiceState.txt" and inside was:

    all the sites I just visited since I first ran librewolf.

    Kiwiirc.com states:
    Stats - See how many users are connecting to your network in real-time.
    Servers - Control which servers kiwi users can connect to. It's your network.
    pgl.yoyo.org seems to be just a source for what could be a hosts file that sends domains to 127.0.0.1, i.e., blocking ad servers. Their list is probably 1/10th of the StevenBlack list on GitHub, which is 146,000+ entries.
