uBlock Origin works best on Firefox

I think I should have said "my own proxy" rather than wireguard. I just happen to access it via wireguard. Though I did want to point out that any vpn proxy would work.

The Multi Account Containers extension has an Advanced proxy settings at the bottom when you go in to Manager Containers. I have a go based socks proxy running on docker somewhere. I enter the details for that there. Syntax is socks://ip:port .

I have two socks implementations installed. I A/B test them sometimes but they seem to be basically equivalent in terms of performance.

https://github.com/ocassio/go-socks5-proxy (old but works fine)

Note: If you're using a chromium based browser you can use the excellent SwitchyOmega plugin to do this much easier and with more functionality. No containers of course.

If you want to assign proxy rules without using containers, the Proxy SwitchyOmega add-on is also available for Firefox:

- Proxy SwitchyOmega: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchyomega/

- Source: https://github.com/FelisCatus/SwitchyOmega

Another option is the FoxyProxy add-on:

- FoxyProxy Standard: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-sta...

- Source: https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension

Thanks. I didn't know switchy was available for Firefox too. That's great. It must not have come up in my searches. Probably because of its date.

I am aware of foxyproxy. It works OK. I was using it until the containers gained proxy support.
