About this app

Privacy-Focused Browser with Local AI Assistance

WebLibre is an independent privacy-focused browser for Android built on Mozilla's Gecko Engine and Mozilla Android Components. It offers a fully-featured web browser with extension support, enhanced by powerful privacy features, local AI assistance (opt-in), and advanced tab organization tools.

Privacy by Design

WebLibre shields you from third-party surveillance—whether by ISPs, tracking companies, or other entities seeking to monitor your browsing habits:

- Web Engine Hardening: Comprehensive privacy and security presets to resist tracking and fingerprinting - Cookie Isolation: Cookies separated by container or context, preventing cross-site tracking - Content Blocking: Blocks ads, trackers, and unwanted content by default - Tor Proxying: Route browsing traffic through the Tor network for enhanced anonymity - Local Search Engine: Your device handles search and retrieval, minimizing remote service contact - No Tracking or Telemetry: WebLibre does not track, monitor, or collect any browsing data

Advanced Tab Management

- Tab Containers: Organize tabs into isolated containers with separate cookie contexts, Tor proxy support, biometric authentication, and automatic site assignments - Tree View Navigation: Visualize and manage complex tab hierarchies with parent-child relationships - Local AI Assistance: Use on-device AI models to intelligently group related tabs into new containers - Flexible Views: Choose between list view, grid view, or tree view with tab hierarchy

Personal Local Search Engine

Instantly search across open tabs (with full page content), bookmarks, web feeds, browsing history, and bangs. All indexing and search operations happen on your device—your data never leaves your control.

Multi-User Profiles

Complete profile isolation with separate browsing data, extensions, settings, and databases per user. Each profile maintains its own containers, add-ons, privacy settings, and preferences.

Download WebLibre and browse freely and privately with genuine control over your online experience.

3

Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be eu.weblibre.gecko is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 0.11.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall WebLibre: The Privacy-Focused Browser first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of WebLibre: The Privacy-Focused Browser, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
