    Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
    I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.

      An extra thumbs up for mullvad vpn from me. It’s a bit more costly than the mainstream ones but you don’t have to subscribe to any plan. Just pay month by month, absolutely no personal data needed.

      Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.

        Mullvad VPN is great! Though I was talking about the Mullvad Browser (which is great as well and integrates well with their VPN service).

    uBlock Origin

    Consent-o-matic

    These are essential to me. Consent o matic automatically fills out cookie pop-ups by opting out of everything for you. Some of these cookie things take a while to process which shows how devious they are set up

      Don’t Fuck With Paste

      You don’t need an addon for this one. Search about:config for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and double click on the key (set it to false). It should take care of that for you.

      Edit: Typo

      Wasn’t I don’t care about cookies acquired by Avast or something? I don’t exactly remember why, but in response to something like that, community edition I still don’t care about cookies was created and I’m using it since then.

    Not much myself to be honest.

    • uBlock Origin, to make the web a bearable experience
    • Yomichan for learning Japanese

    And that’s it. I don’t really need much more.

    • uBlock Origin
    • Bypass Paywalls Plus
    • I don’t care about Cookies
    • Cookie AutoDelete

    The Cookie addons work wonderfully together. IDCAC just accepts every cookie banner automatically, AutoDelete removes them after the tab was closed.

    I use Firefox and the arkenfox user.js, which is not an extension, but helps with privacy. For the extensions, though, they are as follows:

    • uBlock Origin // on medium mode (Check out what blocking modes are if you don’t know them already)
    • LibRedirect // to redirect to more privacy respecting alternatives
    • Skip Redirect // for increased privacy in terms of redirects
    • Smart Referer // on strict mode. I use this as I have set network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 0 as 2 was a little too strict for me

    I think more extensions than these would probably hurt my setup. I have followed the advice from the arkenfox wiki. Check it out if you want to look into a more private and secure Firefox configuration. Also feel free to criticize or ask questions about my setup :)
