4.1 Extensions
github.comI’m sure a lot of us are already using Firefox with uBlock Origin, and I’m also sure that most of us already know about Arkenfox.
Despite this, one thing that I’m still noticing on the internet are people recommending extensions that, as per the Arkenfox wiki, are frankly just not needed anymore.
So people, please stop using:
- Cookie extensions like Cookie Auto Delete
- URL cleaning extensions like ClearURLs
- Anti-fingerprinting extensions
- Redundant privacy extensions like Ghostery or Privacy Badger
- NoScript
And also please note that Firefox Multi-Account Containers is probably overkill for most threat models, and that Firefox’s builtin Total Cookie Protection is probably just fine.

nope. You should read the uBO wiki’s pages about medium mode and hard mode. You have pretty granular control if you’re using uBO in “I am an advanced user” mode.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t realize that about advanced user mode, I’ll look into it!
