Wherever I setup a new VM/PC and install FF, I always have to reset so many things:

  • Standard search SearXNG/DDG

  • New tab = blank page (privacy, no 3rd party request on new tab opening)

  • Delete Amazon, Google, etc ( out of spite)

  • Opt-out of analytics and studies

  • Change theme to dark

  • Add shortcut for other searches

  • Install ublock origin and ublock matrix (apparently redundant now, but I like visiting websites and blocking everything by default. Looking at you google analytics/fonts/etc.)

  • delete cookies on Exit

  • HYTPS only enable

  • add DNS (if not inside my network where it is handled on router level)

Still my favorite browser

Why not avoid most of this and use LibreWolf instead?
