Let me use this thread to lazily look for simple advice.
For privacy, I'm now using: DuckDuckGo Plus, First Party Isolation, Smart Referer, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Canvas Defender and Decentraleyes. There's also NoScript installed, but disabled (waiting for its clickjacking protection to return in WebExt version, although I might switch back to whitelisting JS sometime). Plus there's also Firefox's Tracking Protection enabled all the time.
Anything worth adding? Anything that can be removed for sure, cause it just duplicates something else from this list? Anything should be replaced? (if yes, then why?)
- KozmoNau7 9y agoInstead of Noscript, use uBlock Origin in dynamic mode: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering
- seba_dos1 9y agoClearClick is what I'm interested in, not script blocking, at least right now. WebExt version doesn't have it now, but I'm keeping it installed, so it just upgrades when it's added back.
- my_ghola 9y agoFirefox bypasses right-click blocking when you press shift. What it doesn't bypass is websites placing transparent things on top of what you wish to right-click on (for example images on Twitter). For that I use Stylus to add CSS and move things away.
- seba_dos1 9y agoIt's not about right-click bypassing, it's exactly about transparent things. ClearClick checks whether the image of what you click matches the image of element that's being clicked, shows you the preview and asks if you really want to click it. The best pre-WebExt feature of NoScript.
- zcid 9y agouMatrix can more closely approximate Noscript. I use it to disable all cookies, scripts, and media unless explicitly allowed.
- yorwba 9y agoAre you using Firefox Quantum? I used to whitelist cookies on a per-site basis, but WebExtensions no longer appear to have the necessary access for that, and the built-in settings page is too much of a hassle. Would be interesting if uMatrix has a way to provide the functionality anyway.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI use Cookie Autodelete, it's quite handy.

- zcid 9y agoI am running Quantum. Follow these instructions: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-block-1st-party-scripts-everywhere-by-default https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-block-1st-par... but select the cookie column instead and they will be blocked until whitelisted.
- nukeop 9y agoAdNauseam instead of uBlock, uMatrix instead of privacy badger and noscript.
- LudoA 9y agoWhy AdNauseam instead of uBlock?
- romanovcode 9y agoBecause it's so bad for ad business that even google store blocked it.
- nukeop 9y agoIt's a fork of uBlock, so it has the exact same base functionality, but as an additional benefit it helps fight the ad industry actively.
- kbenson 9y ago> as an additional benefit it helps fight the ad industry actively What does that mean, and why would I want to fight the ad industry actively? (I'm being serious, I don't like the tracking of the ad industry generally resorts to online, but I think blindly assuming the whole industry has no value whatsoever is very shortsighted) Edit: Man, I hate when I write 300+ words on a a reply only for the parent comment to be deleted prior to my getting to post it. :/

- detaro 9y agoIt still loads the ads and the things they link to, so it spends your bandwidth and CPU power on creating noise/fake signals for the ad networks.

- romanovcode 9y agoIf he uses stock android then what's the point of all of those addons? He's just wasting his time and computer resources then.

- kerberos84 9y agoHi, could you mind writing some examples, please?
- moepstar 9y agoI think he referred to Pi-Hole - https://pi-hole.net https://pi-hole.net
- kerberos84 9y agoThank you for the answer.
- seba_dos1 9y agoThere's also good old Privoxy.
