I’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.

    The option in uBlock Origin should really be baked-in and more prominent IMO, also I think I had some issues with the shortener not working on, e.g. Amazon in the past, but things might be working fine now, idk

      Funny how even when I toggle the “advanced user” option on, I still can’t see any interactive menu/console to work with individual scripts. This is what prompted me to install NoScript in the first place. Am I using an old version?
