Firefox - Settings for privacy

#1 Post by wahnsinn »

Under the name "Firefox Compendium" was published on the blog www.kuketz-blog.de a 10-part series on the Browser "Firefox" . This series clearly shows how the browser can be adjusted via settings and addons to a browser for the privacy-conscious.

Detailed descriptions and background information on uBlockOrgin, NoScript, SmartReferer, etc. are described in detail in the individual contributions, including for beginners.

So a "must" for every Firefox user.

Unfortunately, the series is only avaible in German.

Please translate with deepl.

There's a project that modifies the config settings for Firefox.

Great tips here from how to stop WebRTC from leaking, to add-ons to changes to make in about:config.

I wrote all of the pages here: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?titl ... t_Browsers

(Except this one: "Install Firefox in your home directory")

There is quite a bit there on security/privacy protection & it shouldn't be too far out of date (if at all, as I do still give it a tweek from time to time).
