Firefox is among the most secure mainstream browsers. Still, there are some loose ends. I recently stumbled upon this post that features Firefox privacy recommendations and tweaks to strengthen Mozilla browser security.

    it’s also quite wrong:

    • DNT requests can be ignored and are an additional data point to identify you (although the recent LinkedIn ruling could be a light in a tunnel)
    • Privacy Badger doesn’t do anything uBlock Origin doesn’t
    • HTTPS Everywhere isn’t needed since the option is now built into Firefox itself
    • you can block scripts with uBO, no need for NoScript
    • uMatrix has been deprecated

      Can you elaborate on the “umatrix has been deprecated”?

        Development of uMatrix has been discontinued for quite a while. The extension works totally fine though, and in my opinion it provides vastly superior UI for managing permissions than anything else I know.

          Thanks, I was wondering since it was working fine as you said. But in the long run I will have to look for an alternative I guess…
