LibreWolf als Linux-Alternative zu Chrome
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
LibreWolf is a good replacement for Chrome if privacy and control are priorities. It handles modern web content well, supports most sites Chrome users expect, and blocks tracking by default. However, it won’t sync with Google accounts or Chrome devices, and some Google-dependent workflows break. It’s best for users who want a standalone, secure browser without ties to Google. Those reliant on Chrome’s ecosystem or certain enterprise tools may find it limiting.

Ihre Chrome-Dateien öffnen
LibreWolf can import bookmarks and saved passwords from Chrome if exported manually or accessed via the Chrome profile directory on Linux. However, it cannot directly read Chrome’s encrypted login database due to different encryption backends. You can export bookmarks as HTML and import them. Session data and extensions do not transfer. Synced data from Chrome, like history or open tabs, is not accessible.
