I would suggest a HOSTS file --- blocks things before they reach the browser, regardless of which browsers you use.

For those running a beefier router - there are great solutions at the router level to protect the entire home network.

Hi, could you mind writing some examples, please?

I think he referred to Pi-Hole - https://pi-hole.net

There's also good old Privoxy.

Thank you for the answer.

Instead of Noscript, use uBlock Origin in dynamic mode: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering

ClearClick is what I'm interested in, not script blocking, at least right now. WebExt version doesn't have it now, but I'm keeping it installed, so it just upgrades when it's added back.

Firefox bypasses right-click blocking when you press shift.

What it doesn't bypass is websites placing transparent things on top of what you wish to right-click on (for example images on Twitter). For that I use Stylus to add CSS and move things away.

It's not about right-click bypassing, it's exactly about transparent things. ClearClick checks whether the image of what you click matches the image of element that's being clicked, shows you the preview and asks if you really want to click it. The best pre-WebExt feature of NoScript.

uMatrix can more closely approximate Noscript. I use it to disable all cookies, scripts, and media unless explicitly allowed.

Are you using Firefox Quantum? I used to whitelist cookies on a per-site basis, but WebExtensions no longer appear to have the necessary access for that, and the built-in settings page is too much of a hassle. Would be interesting if uMatrix has a way to provide the functionality anyway.

I am running Quantum. Follow these instructions: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/How-to-block-1st-par... but select the cookie column instead and they will be blocked until whitelisted.

I use Cookie Autodelete, it's quite handy.

AdNauseam instead of uBlock, uMatrix instead of privacy badger and noscript.

Why AdNauseam instead of uBlock?

It's a fork of uBlock, so it has the exact same base functionality, but as an additional benefit it helps fight the ad industry actively.

> as an additional benefit it helps fight the ad industry actively

What does that mean, and why would I want to fight the ad industry actively? (I'm being serious, I don't like the tracking of the ad industry generally resorts to online, but I think blindly assuming the whole industry has no value whatsoever is very shortsighted)

Edit: Man, I hate when I write 300+ words on a a reply only for the parent comment to be deleted prior to my getting to post it. :/

It still loads the ads and the things they link to, so it spends your bandwidth and CPU power on creating noise/fake signals for the ad networks.

Ah, so it fights online ad profile generation and tracking from ad networks. That's laudable (and useful).

Profile generation maybe: if it clicks randomly, the ad network doesn't know what's a "good ad" for you

Tracking I'd say less: your browser is loading the ads embedded in various sites and reveals more than if it just blocked.

Because it's so bad for ad business that even google store blocked it.

> For privacy, I'm now using: DuckDuckGo Plus, First Party Isolation, Smart Referer, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Canvas Defender and Decentraleyes.

You forgot about F-Droid. Or you don't use it?

If he uses stock android then what's the point of all of those addons? He's just wasting his time and computer resources then.

On my phone I'm using apt-get :P
