What Firefox extensions do I use
So many have asked what Firefox extensions I use regularly. Here is the list of the extensions I currently have installed:
Privacy Badget Blocks invisible trackers
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/
HTTPS Everywhere automatically connects you to the secure version of sites
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/
1Password My personal Password Manager from a Toronto based company
https://1password.com/browsers/firefox/
uBlock Origin This is more than a content blocker, it is the key to my browser security and is an HTML firewall. A must-have on all my browsers.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Firefox Private Network I am testing the Firefox VPN but don't recommend it yet.
Facebook Container This is a containerization technology to prevent Facebook from tracking you
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/facebook-container/
Privacy Possum It is designed to trick, reduce and falsely fingerprint information making it more difficult to track you on the internet
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/privacy-possum/
Disconnect Block invisible elements on the web designed to track you
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/disconnect/
Decentraleyes This is a tool that intercepts website requests to 3rd party content delivery networks for items like Google Hosted Libraries and serves that content locally thus minimizing your traceability
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/
Cookie AutoDelete This extension automatically deletes cookies when you close tabs (you can change the behaviour if you want or use whitelists). I have it in aggressive mode and it makes the web less friendly but more secure
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
User-Agent Switcher This changes the string the browser sends to websites
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
