WebLibre is an independent browser project built on the foundation of Mozilla's Gecko Engine and Mozilla Android Components. It offers a fully featured web browser compatible with Firefox mobile add-ons, designed with privacy and usability at its core.

⚠️ Alpha Release Notice
WebLibre is currently in the alpha phase. Expect frequent updates, potential bugs, and breaking changes. Please report issues on GitHub. Currently only F-Droid builds are free from Google dependencies.

A core mission of WebLibre is to shield users from third-party surveillance—whether by ISPs, tracking companies, or other entities seeking to monitor or collect data on your browsing habits. WebLibre achieves this through a suite of optional privacy features, including:

• Web Engine Hardening: Strengthens the browser’s core to resist tracking and fingerprinting techniques.
• Cookie Isolation: Ensures cookies are separated by container or context, preventing cross-site tracking.
• Content Blocking: Blocks ads, trackers, and other unwanted content by default.
• Tor Proxying: Allows you to selectively route browsing traffic through the Tor network for enhanced anonymity.
• Local Search Engine: whenever possible, your device handles search and retrieval, minimizing the need to contact remote services.

By combining these tools, WebLibre empowers you to browse the web freely and privately, minimizing exposure to unwanted monitoring and giving you genuine control over your online experience.

• Tab Containers: Organize tabs into isolated containers for enhanced privacy and workflow management with optional features:
  • Container Cookie Contexts: Separate “cookie jars” for each container.
  • Tor Proxy: Route container traffic through the Tor network for anonymous browsing.
  • Biometric Authentication: Restrict access to containers using fingerprint or face recognition.
• Tree View Navigation: Visualize and manage complex tab hierarchies for better browsing context.
• Local AI Assistance: Use on-device AI models to group tabs and manage containers effortlessly.

• Unified Search: Instantly search across:
  • Open Tabs: By title, address, and full page content (no size limits).
  • Web Feeds: Aggregate and search your favorite news sites and blogs, with full content indexing.
  • Browsing History: Quickly find previously visited sites by title or address.
  • Bangs: Use custom shortcuts for direct on-site search.
• Local-First Search: All indexing and search operations happen on your device—your data never leaves your control.

• No Tracking: WebLibre does not track or monitor your browsing.
• Local Data Storage: All your data stays on your device.
• Tor Integration: Route container or private tab traffic through the Tor network for greater anonymity.
• Ad and Content Blocking: Optional content blocker (uBlock Origin) installation during onboarding.
• Web Engine Hardening: Comprehensive and easy-to-use privacy and security presets for the Gecko Web-Engine.

• Direct On-Site Search: Use thousands of powerful shortcuts (“bangs”) to search directly on popular websites—no third-party search engine required.
