Ahoy!

With the DDG browser out, it got me thinking as to what extensions others use for privacy either on chromium or firefox?

  1. Ublock Origin - hands down by far the best extension ever
  2. LocalCDNs - substituting previous DecentralEyes
  3. Cookie AutoDelete
  4. ClearURLs
  5. CanvasBlocker
  6. Temporary Containers - leverages firefox containers in an automated way (if you enable it),in my setup, to open every page in a new domain into a separate container

Used to use: . PrivacyBadger - redundant with ublock on expert mode and 3rd party requests blocked . DecentralEyes - same as LocalCDNs but supposely with less content to substitute . HTTPS Everywhere - redundant with new settings in firefox . NoSricpt - with uBlock in expert block and blocking javascript by default i have all the granularity i need . uMatrix - same as above

also, use the best (for privacy/digital hygiene) firefox forks: Librewolf on desktop, Mull on android

I would suggest to add here the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension, just for the automatic private duck email addresses when filling in web forms, since the 3rd party tracking blocking feature is a bit redundant in conjunction with uBlock Origin etc.

private emails/aliases are a very good measure indeed. but for that i use a separate service, with SimpleLogin - needs sign up, but for Android the client app is also available on F-Droid
