--- ## Privacy by Design
A core mission of WebLibre is to shield users from third-party surveillance—whether by ISPs, tracking companies, or other entities seeking to monitor or collect data on your browsing habits. WebLibre achieves this through a suite of optional privacy features, including:
- [**Web Engine Hardening:**](https://docs.weblibre.eu/Privacy--and--Security#hardening--advanced-controls) Strengthens the browsers core to resist tracking and fingerprinting techniques.
- [**Cookie Isolation:**](https://docs.weblibre.eu/Tabs/Containers/Features/Container-Cookie-Contexts) Ensures cookies are separated by container or context, preventing cross-site tracking.
- [**Content Blocking:**](https://docs.weblibre.eu/Privacy--and--Security#content-blocking) Blocks ads, trackers, and other unwanted content by default.
- [**Tor Proxying:**](https://docs.weblibre.eu/Tabs/Containers/Features/Tor-Proxy) Allows you to selectively route browsing traffic through the Tor network for enhanced anonymity.
- [**Local Search Engine:**](https://docs.weblibre.eu/Personal-Local-Search-Engine) All search indexing and queries are performed on your device—your data never leaves your control.
By combining these tools, WebLibre empowers you to browse the web freely and privately, minimizing exposure to unwanted monitoring and giving you genuine control over your online experience.
