has to intercept every request

might have to intercept every request, and why do you need this

has to intercept every request
Stop installing so many stupid extensions. Random UA switching is especially pointless; “Decentraleyes” is a close runner-up. Firefox has performance problems, but I think you’re definitely seeing extension bloat if you have that kind of device.
- PeCaN 10y agoSo you're saying running some triggers when a request is made causes Firefox to use a ton of RAM and switch tabs slowly. Okay, I'm not exactly sure how that works, but I haven't poked around Firefox a lot. > > - OverbiteFF (support for the gopher protocol) > might have to intercept every request, and why do you need this You probably never thought of this, but because I use gopher. > > - Random Agent Spoofer (change user agent at random) > has to intercept every request …No, it doesn't (actually, it just changes some browser settings on a timer). > Random UA switching is especially pointless; “Decentraleyes” is a close runner-up. Ah, excuse me for caring about privacy. In summary, you didn't actually look anything up, points for trying though.
- artificial 10y agoIt's hardly stupidity. You're discovering different people have different priorities and that privacy is valued by some more than others.

- minitech 10y agoI’m someone who also values privacy, but a few of the extensions in question almost certainly don’t offer enough value for their cost. Random UA switching makes you more fingerprintable. And this all on Windows 10…
