Ahoy!

With the DDG browser out, it got me thinking as to what extensions others use for privacy either on chromium or firefox?

    LibRedirect is a great way to access a wealth of sites like youtube, twitter, reddit, wikipedia, etc. via alternative privacy friendly frontends instead of directly.

    While not an inherent guarantee of privacy, nothing really is, it makes the process of rotating randomly between these frontend instances for each visit a breeze, and easy to hop to a random new instance if the current one is down/not working as expected.

    Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, LocalCDN. Containers are pretty good for Firefox too, keeps things segregated to stop cross-site tracking. Also I auto-clear cookies and cache on exit and just whitelist what I want to keep.

      Use Tor Browser if you need anonymity, which isn’t offered by private browsing mode or most other extensions. In case you don’t want to route through the Tor network, Mullvad Browser offers the same fingerprinting resistance techniques as Tor Browser.

        Tor browser is just too slow for a normal user, I would just recommend it for some special occasions or sketchy sites where you truly do not trust it.

      I do not care about cookies + cookie autodelete are must have combo. I have been using them for so long that I do not know now how people uses internet without them.
