Tech / Self-Hosting
LibreWolf is primarily distributed as a pre-built binary for major operating systems. While the source code is available for review and customization, it is not typically self-hosted in the traditional sense. Users can compile from source if desired, but the recommended approach is to use the official binaries for security and stability.
The project is hosted on Codeberg, a privacy-focused alternative to GitHub, and welcomes contributions from the community.
