|
||
A Guide to Bettering Firefox
|
||
</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Web browsers are kind of awful. They do too much
|
||
(<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220609080931/https://homepage.cs.uri.edu/~thenry/resources/unix_art/ch01s06.html">why
|
||
would I want an application to be an image viewer, pdf reader,
|
||
media player, <i>and</i> html renderer?</a>), and as a result,
|
||
<a href="https://today.uic.edu/bloated-browser-functionality-presents-unnecessary-security-privacy-risks/">
|
||
they are bloated beyond belief</a>. They strain developer
|
||
resources, require sandboxing because of the insane default that
|
||
JavaScript is arbitrarily executed, and yet, they're the most
|
||
prolific method of application distribution in the modern day.
|
||
Web browsers have become the most convenient place for many to
|
||
do their computing, so, with this page, I'm trying to define a
|
||
more sane functionality for the browser I use—Firefox.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2>Why Firefox?</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I use Firefox because it is the best web browser for the kinds
|
||
of modifications I need. It is also the last major browser
|
||
standing against
|
||
<a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers">
|
||
Chromium domination</a> (even if Mozilla
|
||
<a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/mozilla-signs-lucrative-3-year-google-search-deal-for-firefox">
|
||
takes money from Google</a>). If there were a
|
||
web browser that had sane defaults and all of the features I
|
||
need (<a href="https://git.tebibyte.media/emma/browser/">and I
|
||
<i>do</i> plan on creating my own that does</a>), I would
|
||
immediately switch to it; however, until there is a satisfactory
|
||
browser, which can do what I want from Firefox, I will stick
|
||
either with it or a fork of it like
|
||
<a href="https://librewolf.net/">
|
||
LibreWolf</a>. If you don't want to use Firefox, then at least
|
||
<a href="https://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/choose-your-browser-carefully.html">
|
||
choose your browser carefully</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In addition to the modifications and extensions listed here, my
|
||
script, <a href="https://git.tebibyte.media/emma/xdg-sanity">
|
||
<code>xdg-sanity</code></a>, can be used to prevent your web
|
||
browser from being used to open remote content that has a MIME
|
||
type other than <code>text/html</code>.

<p>
|
||
When it comes to extensions, fewer is better, so try to limit
|
||
your extensions to the minimum you need to browse the web. This
|
||
helps reduce the performance impact and fingerprintability of
|
||
your browser. The following are a list of extensions you can
|
||
give the boot:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
For many use cases, containerization extensions like
|
||
Facebook Container or Google Container are redundant
|
||
with
|
||
<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/02/23/total-cookie-protection/">
|
||
Total Cookie Protection </a> and
|
||
<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/08/10/firefox-91-introduces-enhanced-cookie-clearing/">
|
||
Enhanced Cookie Clearing</a>.
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
The
|
||
<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/">
|
||
I don't care about cookies</a> extension has been
|
||
<a href="https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/whats-new/acquisition/">
|
||
acquired by Avast
|
||
</a>, and the extension itself is superfluous with the
|
||
recommended uBlock Origin filter lists below.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
Privacy Badger
|
||
<a href="https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/83169287/#83170117">
|
||
has multiple issues</a>, including its lack of
|
||
finterprinting protection, its connection to Fastly CDN,
|
||
and its redundancy with uBlock Origin.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If there is any extension you feel is missing from this list,
|
||
feel free to <a href="https://git-send-email.io/">send me a git
|
||
patch through e-mail</a> adding it along with a description as
|
||
to why you believe it should be included. Before

<a href="../#contact">contacting me</a>, please read through the

whole list and the
