It's a privacy oriented fork of Firefox. Removes telemetry, pocket button, sync to cloud, etc.

The only annoying thing libre doesn't turn off automatically is WeRTC which can be turned off in the flags with media.peerconnection.enabled set to false.
Can those settings be disabled in firefox but are not as default?
Sorry for ly aweful English.
They can. Though it's just easier to use librewolf in my opinion. There's a project called arkenfox which makes this easier to config settings manually for Firefox. Take a look into it.
From the description, it seems to all be things I usually disable manually. So yes, at a glance they are just disabled
whats a pocket button
Pocket is an add on for storing articles to read later. Used to be a separate product, but Mozilla bought them and integrated it into Firefox.
