Resist Fingerprinting

You gotta read the blog posts my dude. I’m not going to type it all out for you.

With uBlock Origin, it’s only “all script on the page” or “no scripts on the page”, right?

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.

Cookie management is now handled by firefox natively. In your FF browser bar, go to about:preferences#privacy and choose Strict. Then you can remove AutoCookie Delete extension. If you want to know more, find the the Firefox blog posts about Total Cookie Protection. There are multiple posts on the topic.

Edit: If you want to be super intense, you can also check the box, “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” although that isn’t strictly necessary if your ETP is set to strict.

Yes but…

• Most people want a quick-fix… “just install these extensions and all your web privacy issues will be handled automatically, in the background and you don’t ever have to do anything at all.” The “no user effort required” approach isn’t realistic and arkenfox is not a quick-fix. It’s a lot of tough love imo.
• To use arkenfox and also not get frustrated that the entire internet is broken you will need to create a good user-overrides.js file. Creating a good one takes time. So take it and create a good one.
• RFP breaks a lot of things. If you choose to disable RFP, the arkenfox wiki suggests you use the anti-fingerprinting extension, CanvasBlocker.
• If you use arkenfox’s user.js you’ll probably want to create multiple profiles with different levels of arkenfox strength, which can be determined by your user-overrides.js file.

I mostly use arkenfox… but I also have a TCP + uBO only profile for when I need it.

They did not have a data breach.

They recently implemented some in app analytics. But it’s opt-in. The feature is turned off by default. 1Password still pretty great, especially if you are using it with your family.
