Firefox

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

• 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.

Lots of good ones in this thread, but one I don't see is Adnauseam. Think of it as the inverse of uBlock Origin, in fact it is based on UO and you can even access the UO UI in it.

Basically: they can't track you if you don't load any trackers, sure.

But they also can't track you if you "click" literally every ad, plus it messes with their ad revenue calculations and tracking statistics.

I use idontcareaboutcookies and have Firefox delete all cookies when I close it. Although I think that addon was bought out a few months ago.

Visit ffprofile.com, it's basically my starting point for creating a privacy concious config.

Privacy Badger, Cookie Autodelete.

Chameleon for anti fingerprinting, ublock, clearurls, noscript

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.

• Canvas blocker - prevents some usage of javascript for fingerprinting.
• Change Geolocation - the actual reason that I use it is not privacy, but to prevent Google from forcing local results (I set my geolocation to Antarctica). However you can use it for privacy, specially if you live in a small town.
• Decentraleyes - prevents tracking through content delivery.
• Ninja Cookie - handles cookies banners, telling them that you don't allow cookies. It's one of those extensions where QoL is privacy, since those banners are often crafted in a way to tire you out so you allow cookies.
• uBlock Origin - I guess most people here know about it.
