This, but ignore what it says about HTTPS Everywhere.

HTTPS Everywhere is goat.

user.js

>>59900647
It has a list and if it's not on the list it won't switch.
It's truly bulky and slows down the already comatose fox.
In order for Https E to work propper it would need to index the whole internet... imagine how slow your firefartz will be then.

>almost everyone recommends ublock or umatrix or both

I smell a shill

>>59900714
Any arguments aside from muh shills and muh hiding?

>>59899785
>avoid random agent spoofer
>recommendation: do not change user-agent!

why?

I'm only using it so I can access netflix through firefox on my linux laptop at college.

Ublock is faster than abp,umatrix is for autustic neets

>>59900647
>>59900734
It's okay to use these addons if they work for you and you know what you do. I just wanted to increase awareness about the flaws in some most used addons.

>>59899785
requestpolicy still works though, right? I want to get that again and it's been a few years

>>59899785
>don't change user-agent!
That's such a stupid recommendation. That's like submitting a bug report saying your computer crashes when you press the letter "f" on your keyboard and the developer just tells you not to press the letter.

Valid point, then next revision will have "No better alternative" in description.

Now info about referer.

Give yourself a shotgun blast to face, you fucking retard.

What's better about Smart HTTPS (revived)?

>>59901273
I just went and researched this.

HTTPS Everywhere runs off of a white list. The result is you get coverage on sites that are confirmed to support https.

Smart HTTPS queries the server to try and connect, and if it fails immediately redirects. Caches the whitelist so you don't have to keep querying.

It also has fall backs for under performing connections and incorrect loading.

Seems like a good choice thus far.

Make sure you get the revival version, much faster and won't be deprecated when Firefox turns off addons.

- chrome is a botnet
- vivaldi doesnt load pages first 3 minutes
- firefox lags as heck

what 2 do

>>59901343
Install firefox nightly and disable telemetry in about:config.

>>59901371
amazing, thanks

>>59901518
What?

>>59901371
If anyone interested, about:config this
datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled => false
datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled => false
toolkit.telemetry.enabled => false
toolkit.telemetry.unified => false

>>59899785
if I use umatrix do I need self-destructing cookies?

>>59901312
A few years ago I used HTTPS Everywhere with another add-on, I think it was called HTTPS Finder but I'm probably wrong on that. The two of these achieved similar functionality, but the developer of HTTPS Finder stopped working on the add-on.

Smart HTTPS seems to achieve similar functionality in one add-on. I'll give it a try.

Don't forget about dom.enable_performance = false. It collects and sends data about performance of browser.

uMatrix can delete cookies and localstorage on sites where you blocked cookies, can even delete regular cookies every x minutes after last use.
Self-Destructing Cookies addon deletes cookies and localstorage when all tabs with given page are closed.

It depends on what you try to achieve, I personally use only uMatrix for cookies things.

>>59901622
Right. But this is part of Navigation Timing API. These performance data aren't sent to Mozilla, but every page you visit. Thanks for tip!

Can be tested here: https://browserleaks.com/javascript#js-performance

>>59901589
if only it had Tree Style Tabs and Stylish

>what is Secret Agent

>>59900777
He is paid by Google to smoothly transition the rest of Firefox users to Chrome, since addon look the same in both browsers, unlike Adblock Plus.

The ultimate redpill is to use Firefox Nightly

>>59899785
>dont use noscript

Sorry, but umatrix doesnt break all scripts so fuck off.

>>59903235
You can set it to block them by default.
Add this rule:

* * script block

.

>>59903302
>having to edit the fucking rules in settings
>noscript does it by default
amazing

>>59903337
uMatrix doesn't assume you're autistic freetard. That's why it's better.

>>59903350
if it was better it would disable scripts at the same time

there is no reason not to.

>>59903207
Trash, tree tabs have a lot of errors on nightly

>>59903360
Yep, just like there is no reason NoScript would whitelist it's site and redirect you to it on every update.

>>59903401
better than allowing all scripts by default however

>>59903416
>all scripts by default however
Wut?
It disables all thirdparty scripts.
You can set it to disable all scripts.
It also block all iframes by default.

>>59903401
At least NoScript has a site

>>59903432
but not by default

>>59903455
Firefox doesn't have NoScript by default.
>>59903442
>Implying any addon has to have site other than github/lab/bucket and download page

>>59903481
>hurr dont install noscript which has what you want by default

God damnit man, id agree if µmatrix had it by default you might have leg to stand on

But nope.

install brave browser fagots

>>59900731
Why would you be shilling it 24/7 if it wasn't a botnet?
Avoiding the botnet is a perfectly good reason.

>>59903481
>le cloud meme

>>59903488
>muh default behavior
Don't install any addon if you want default behavior.
>>59903499
>having different opinion == shilling 24/7

>>59903520
>here install that addon and then edit the settings

>dont install that other one that does what you want by default

hurr durr are you only pretending

>>59903520
Shilling is shilling. Nobody asked you for a list of your botnet addons, yet here you are.

>>59903520
more like
>having different opinion && shilling 24/7

Microsoft Edge doesn't have these problems

>>59903550
Edge is pure spyware, ad server and redirector.

>>59903533
Ok, keep using NoScript until firefox turns off xpi addons or install palememe only to find 50% of your addons not working on it.
>>59903539
>>59903537
>Muh shills
Not an argument.

>>59903589
>Not an argument.
You're right. It's a factual observation that you're breaking the rules by advertising on 4chan.

>>59903583
t. sandeep from google

>>59903589
but i disabled noscript

Im just saying its retarded it does not do it by default

>>59903378

Don't think that's possible, OP.

>>59898210
Nice logo

>>59899785
Thanks! I replaced HTTPS Everywhere and removed Privacy Badger and the difference is real.

Is EFF really so incompetent?

>>59905208
They've got good ideas, but bad programmers.

>>59899785
Firefox is the best browser to date. I agree the uBlock Origin is the best. I'll have to try Smart HTTPS Revived (would it reduce CPU usage too?).

>>59905208
That's what happens when you let SJWs in.
