## Recommended extensions
Besides Firefox integrated anti-tracking mechanisms, it's still advised to install additional plugins to further enhance this.
```
uBlock Origin (ads)
* `uBlock Origin`: blocks ads and unwanted trackers
* `Neat url`: removes common parameters from pages (e.g. to identify you with something like `?os=windows&browser=chrome&version=86`)
* `Skip Redirect`: skips not needed redirects of pages
* `CanvasBlocker`: disallows canvas fingerprinting which would be able to identify your unique browser, heavily used in some JavaScript (web) APIs
* (optional and might lead to disfunction): `Cookie AutoDelete`: automatically deletes cookies during a session
HTTPZ or HTTPS Everywhere (automatically redirect to the Secure version of a website)
**More**:
* Use a password manager and don't store or synchronize your passwords within internal browser functionality, e.g. `KeePassXC`
* Use `Invidious` instances for a liberated YouTube experience (a proxy to YouTube)
Neat url // removes common parameters from pages (e.g. to identify you with something like ?os=windows&....)
Skip Redirect // skips not needed redirects of pages
CanvasBlocker // for some JavaScript (web) API
Cookie AutoDelete // automatically delete cookies
(an extension for a passwordmanager like KeePassXC if needed)
(Use Invidious instances for a liberated YouTube experience)
(Greasemonkey to get rid of some annoying popups, see below)
```
All extensions, especially extensions interferring in redirects like `Skip Redirect` _might_ lead to malfunctioning of some websites. Disable it per page.
**Hint**: All extensions, especially extensions interferring in redirects and cookies like `Skip Redirect` or `Cookie Autodelete` _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_!

For the uBlock plugin import the `ublock-config-1.txt` in the "My Filter" menu for proper settings.
### Remove Google and YouTube popups
Recently, Google added popups on YT and search so you need to login. In the Greasemonkey extension, import the `greasemonkey.zip` in this git repository and they should be gone.
## 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.

Be sure to add shortcuts to be used in your navigation bar, e.g. `@ddg` refers to DuckDuckGo search engine and directly issues searches to DuckDuckGo from the navigation bar.
