What privacy and security settings and add-ons do you use with Firefox?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
- Ublock origin
- noscript
- localCDN
- tampermonkey with anti ad blocker blocker scriipts
- ptivacy redirects
Both LocalCDN and any anti ad-block scripts are useless nowadays. uBO by itself does quite a bit of defusing itself as long as no other extensions conflict with it (so, make sure it's the only ad blocker you have) (also enable the built-in annoyance filters. They deal with anti-adblocks as well)
Noscript can also be replaced with uBO's dynamic filters/advanced mode. Read it's wiki if you want to learn how
Please elaborate how LocalCDN is useless.
Anti ad blocker blocker scripts have been installed because of ad blocker blocker who blocked me using ublock origin. After enabling the anti ad blocker never bothered me again and since i have other user scripts and write my own occasionaly, tampermonkey isn't useless at all.
noScript has a very convienient menu and is superior to ublock regarding usability (when it comes to selectivly blocking scripts). No need to read a wiki. Therefore I prefer it.
Is localdns backed in Firefox or ublock now?
I also use ghostery, ad-guard, and one that cleans trackers from linked urls. I forgot what it's called.
Just so you know ghostery sells your data to financial services firms
I surely hope you're not running those two next to uBO. Multiple ad blockers WILL conflict.
I've been doing so for years, sometimes they do bit I will disable when they do.
