<strong>Firefox</strong> has some really strong privacy settings such as <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop">Enhanced Tracking Protection</a> which can help block various <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_what-enhanced-tracking-protection-blocks">types of tracking</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
These options can be found in the <em>Privacy & Security</em> settings page ( ≡ → Settings → Privacy & Security).

<h4>Extensions</h4>
|
||||
We normally do not recommend installing any extensions, as they have privileged access within your browser. We make an exception for <a href="/browsers/#additional-resources">uBlock Origin</a>,
|
||||
a popular content blocker and 🏆️ <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/kb/add-on-badges#w_recommended-extensions">Recommended Extension</a> by Mozilla.
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Arkenfox (advanced)</h4>
|
||||
The <a href="https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js">Arkenfox project</a> provides a set of carefully considered options for Firefox. These options are quite strict but a few are subjective and can sometimes cause a website to not work properly. You can easily change these settings to suit your needs. We <strong>strongly recommend</strong> reading through the <a href="https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki">basics</a> section. Arkenfox also enables <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_for-advanced-users">container</a> support.

Focus also destroys browsing history on quit automatically which is a good way of automatically clearing cookies and website data regularly which is helpful to prevent tracking.

<h5><strong>Sanitizing on close</strong></h5>
|

Focus sanitizies all data on close by default. Pressing on the <img alt="iOS Garbage Bin icon" width="16" height="16" src="/assets/img/browsers/ios-trash.svg"/> will immediately destroy all cookies and website data for the entire session.

<strong>uBlock Origin</strong> is a popular content blocker that could help you block ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
We suggest enabling all of the <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Filter-lists">filters lists</a> under the "Ads", "Privacy" and "Malware domains". The "Annoyances" and "Multipurpose" lists can also be enabled, but they may break some social media functions. The <em>AdGuard URL Tracking Protection</em> filter list makes extensions like CleanURLs and NeatURLs redundant.
|
||||
|
||||
We also suggest adding the <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt">Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool</a> list and any of the regional lists that might apply to your browsing habits. Additional filter lists do slow things down, so only apply the languages that you use.
|
||||
|
||||
uBlock Origin also has different <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode">blocking modes</a>. The easy mode <a href="https://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/">might not</a> necessarily keep you safe from every tracker out there, whereas the more advanced modes let you control exactly what needs to run.

<strong>Tor Browser</strong> is the choice if you need anonymity. This browser provides you with access to the Tor Bridges and Tor Network, along with extensions that can be automatically configured to fit its three security levels - <em>Standard</em>, <em>Safer</em> and <em>Safest</em>. We recommend that you do not change any of Tor Browser's default configurations outside of the standard security levels.

<h4>Extensions</h4>

You should <strong>never</strong> install any additional extensions on Tor Browser, including the ones we suggest for Firefox.

Without signing into a Google Account, the open-source builds of Chromium do relatively well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still does have a number of integrations with Google hardcoded into the source, and because it is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, it operates in a way that compromises transparency and user-control. And, Chromium is still directly developed by Google, who have attempted to introduce anti-consumer measures in the past as mentioned in the Google Chrome section.
