Outside of the default uBlock Origin, do you use any other extensions that offer privacy benefits? I only have one other extension installed, JShelter, and I'm wondering if this is an overkill or not.

I quite like Libredirect, it automatically redirects links from a collection of popular services to more private frontends

Libredirect Is a great extension. I also use Redirector which allows you to configure custom redirections.

Haven't heard about JSelter yet, but it seems like something I wanted for so long!

Some that I use:

Redirect AMP to HTML
Temporary containers (but such containers are only used on demand, new are uncontainerized by default)
uMatrix (as a manual, broad whitelisting filter)

Extensions can be used to fingerprint users.

Has anyone figured out a method to fake that data similar to how browser agent can be faked?

I'm running LibreWolf unmodified on a Linux box, and this is my result using a site that checks this information.

What does jshelter do?

[–] magmaus3@szmer.info 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

~~protect the user from Java~~ Control the javascript APIs, according to the project's website

This looks awesome, thank you. A good compromise instead of blindly blocking all scripts with noscript!
