WebLibre: Private Browser

Browse privately, search locally. Organize tabs, block tracking, and use Tor.
WebLibre is a privacy-first browser that puts you in control.

Built on Mozilla’s Gecko engine, WebLibre combines powerful privacy features with advanced tab management and a personal local search engine—so your data stays on your device, not in the cloud.

- Personal Local Search Engine
Instantly search across open tabs, browsing history, and your favorite web feeds—all indexed privately on your device. No third-party search engine required.

- Bangs: Direct Site Search
Use thousands of “bangs” to search directly on popular websites, bypassing external search engines for faster, more private results.

- Tab Containers for Privacy & Organization
Separate your browsing into containers for work, shopping, or personal use. Each container has its own cookies, settings, and can be locked with biometric authentication.

- Integrated Tor Proxy
Route selected tabs or containers through the Tor network for enhanced anonymity and to bypass censorship—without leaving your browser.

- Tree View Tab Navigation
Visualize and manage complex browsing sessions with hierarchical tab organization. Never lose track of your research or workflow.

- No Tracking, No Cloud Storage
WebLibre never tracks you. All your data—searches, history, and feeds—remains on your device for maximum privacy.

Additional Highlights

- Biometric Authentication: Lock sensitive tabs or containers with your fingerprint or face.
- Efficient Resource Use: Lightweight tabs and persistent sessions for seamless multitasking.
- Open Source Foundations: Built using trusted Mozilla components.

Take back control of your browsing. Download WebLibre and experience privacy, speed, and organization—your way.
