I use uBlock Origin and make some changes to the default settings. Have seen recommend configs, but haven’t gotten to implement them yet.
What do you do to make Firefox even more privacy respecting and secure?
- Ublock origin
- noscript
- localCDN
- tampermonkey with anti ad blocker blocker scriipts
- ptivacy redirects
Honestly, Firefox and uBlock Origin together form a pretty solid combo - that’s all I use.
See privacyguides.org recommendations for tuning FF & uBO settings.
A lot of people mentioning things like Privacy Badger, NoScript, ClearURLs, Ghostery, etc. Can anyone explain to me what benefit these provide over a properly configured uBO setup?
My understanding is these are all redundant, and just serve to slow things down or provide ways to leak your data (looking at you Ghostery…)
Also saw a comment about Multi Account Containers. I don’t see this as necessary, at least in my case, ever since they introduced first party cookies isolation by default. The only application I see is if you want to log into the same website with two different accounts, e.g., using Outlook for work and personal email on the same machine.
tl;dr - FF+uBO=dream team
Also try to use the Container feature in Firefox. I have acting Google all contained in one subset for example, so none of their tabs gets a view on my other tabs.
Firefox rolled out Total Cookie Protection by default back in April. Essentially putting every website in a container by default.
Chameleon for anti fingerprinting, ublock, clearurls, noscript
