Firefox Extension Thread Share your favorite and indispensable Firefox Extensions. I have been using Firefox since long ago so I have accumulated quite a big number of extensions that have become indispensable to me.

Yes, everytime I install a new addon, I get a small but welcome dopamine shot.

>Behind the Overlay Revival you may have seen sites put up something in front of the whole page on load, commonly this is a "we need you to let us spy on you, k?" thing. This gives you a button to kill overlays. >CanvasBlocker You've heard of this >Cookie AutoDelete What it sounds like, I like it because it has my two essential features: a whitelist, and the ability to clear cookies (and other storage) whenever the domain changes or the tab closes. >Decentraleys also well-known. >HTTPS Everywhere I was considering switching back to Smart HTTPS but I decided not to bother until I have to do browser maintenance anyway. >Link Cleaner Removes various crud from URLs, most of which is used for tracking. eg the utm_whatever crap. >Skip Redirect Another tracking thing, a lot of places (search engines especially) link to a unique URL for tracking purposes, and that URL redirects to the final destination. This addon kills that. (You'd expect this shit from Google, but DDG does it too) >Smart Referer Why any websites depend on there being a referer header at all in 2019 is unfathomable, but this kills the referer only for cross-domain navigation, so that the referer only leaks information the site you're on already knows. >uBlock Origin, uMatrix self-explanatory. >User-Agent Switcher Also pretty self-explanatory. Has the important feature: a way to regularly change the UA to something picked randomly from the list of most common ones. You can restrict it to desktop UAs, which eliminates the problem of sites that use this to decide whether to serve a real page or mobile garbage.
In ESR 52 I had a nice addon that reported on the TLS cert and ciphersuite a site negotiated. Mozilla killed the API for that in webext-land. They eventually added it back but not till well after ESR 60, I'm waiting till Debian ships ESR 68 to see if theres a replacement for this.

Besides the usual: Temporary Containers Multi-Account Containers Gesturefy Tree Style Tab I recommend Site Bleacher instead of Cookie AutoDelete, it cleans more. I personally use Temporary Containers, it's even better.

>Canvas Blocker It's unnecesary as of FF68. With privacy.resist.fingerprint set to "true" It now reports the default Tor canvas and notifies the user if a website requires the canvas so he can enable it.
Also, modifying the user agent might make you easier to track, as identifying the original UA is trivial. You'd be the only user running FF68 on Linux x86, while claiming to be running on Windows 7 64 bits.
Resist fingerprinting (and Tor) modify several config stuff so the browser actually looks like its running on another OS and architechture, and even then it can be guessed as long as JS is enabled. Something similar happens with referrers.

ublock origin, vim vixen, and stylish

Since I use firefox because I'm a tranny, is it possible to make Multi Acc Containers to show a different homepage for each container?
When firefox updated their extension system the only thing I truly missed was DownThemAll!
"Simple mass downloader" is the best replacement I found.
Nathan Torres
Unless you're actually going to use the Tor browser, I'd dispute that trying to "blend in" is the best way to resist fingerprinting. It's an absolutely enormous job and even the Tor project has trouble closing all the holes. They even tell you not to resize the damned browser window. It's much more tractable to not worry about having a unique fingerprint, but to make sure it changes.
Secondly, have you met web devs? Grabbing the UA the browser reports is simple and easy from Javascript. Determining the underlying OS from TCP fingerprinting isn't something you can do there, you have to be on the web server, and then you have to link those two pieces of data up, and do this when you expect, for the vast majority of visitors, that they're going to match anyway, and all this trouble won't be telling you anything you don't already know.
Anyway good to hear that they integrated some canvas protection, it'll be nice to need one less addon. but I'm still on ESR60, Debian hasn't shipped ESR68 yet, and knowing them, they won't until 60 leaves support once and for all.

>It's unnecesary as of FF68. With privacy.resist.fingerprint set to "true" It now reports the default Tor canvas and notifies the user if a website requires the canvas so he can enable it. So basically websites could check your canvas fingerprint to determine if you have privacy.resist.fingerprinting to true since your IP won't be a Tor exit node
Justin Cox
The idea being that users would blend in amongst other users that use the same canvas.

And a few others not worth mentioning since they're so common. Before the addon change, I used to have really useful addons like right click and save to a direct folder. I really want that back.
I used Firefox to install Google Chrome It's much faster and Firefox is for furfags
