 The `adb` cli tools provide a way to set a different captive portal not owned by Google which don't log data. You should change it. See `captiveportal.sh` for an example.
 
+Using an OS like [CalyxOS](https://calyxos.org) or [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org) allow to have a dedicated toggle to switch this off!

 ## DNS
 
 By default Android will use Google DNS servers not secured with SSL. Starting from Android 8, Android provides means to overcome this by setting a _private DNS_ server in `Settings -> Network & internet -> Private DNS`. For example, set it to `fdns1.dismail.de`.

 ## Recommended extensions
 
 Besides Firefox integrated anti-tracking mechanisms, it's still advised to install additional plugins to further enhance this.
 
-* `uBlock Origin` (import provided `.txt` in the extension): 
+In addition, some of those extensions will also greatly improve your user experience: fewer ads, faster page loads. Remember, you can also switch them off (disable), you don't need to uninstall.
-  * blocks ads and unwanted trackers
-  * removes certain url parameters ()
-* `Skip Redirect`: skips not needed redirects of pages
-* `CanvasBlocker` (import provided config in the extension): disallows canvas fingerprinting which would be able to identify your unique browser, heavily used in some JavaScript (web) APIs
 
-**More**:
+**Highly recommended to have all of them allowed in Incognito Mode as well (Maybe except for LocalCDN if desired)!**
-* Use a password manager and don't store or synchronize your passwords within internal browser functionality, e.g. `KeePassXC`
 
-**Hint**: All extensions, especially extensions interferring in redirects and cookies like `Skip Redirect` _might_ lead to malfunctioning of some websites, e.g. websites not redirecting correctly or not being able to store cookies. _It's recommended to disable them per page if you notice something's not working as expected_!
+### Must have
+
+* `uBlock Origin`: blocks ads and unwanted trackers, also removes certain url parameters (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/)
+* `CanvasBlocker`: disallows canvas fingerprinting which would be able to identify your unique browser, heavily used in some JavaScript (web) APIs (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/)
+* `Skip Redirect`: skips not needed redirects of pages (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/skip-redirect/)
+* `ClearURLs`: removes tracking parameters from URLs, e.g., from Google analytics (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/clearurls/)
+* `LibRedirect`: automatically redirects to privacy-friendly frontends of certain applications, e.g., nitter for all Twitter links or piped for all Youtube links (believe me, you'll love the snappiness!) (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/libredirect/)
+* `LocalCDN`: some files like fonts are loaded from Google by some pages when they decide to do so, you can avoid it with this extension as it will have them properly embedded already, so you save the troubles of contacting Google servers (or other Content Deliver Networks) (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/localcdn-fork-of-decentraleyes/)
+
+**Hint**: Extensions impacting redirects or cookies _might_ lead to malfunctioning of some websites. If you encounter this, it's **recommended to disable them _per page_** and **NOT** globally! First could shot can be setting an exception for a page inside uBlock.!
 
 You can **hide extension icons** in the overflow menu if you like. Just right click the icon in the top right in the menu bar and "pin to overflow".

 ## Recommended search engines
 
 If not possible in another way, you can add them via [Add custom search engine](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/). Just follow instructions after installing and opening the extension.
