MODERATORS
If you want another suggestion, LibreWolf is also pretty decent. Chuds hate it and I've been using it for a long while, to my satisfaction.
Gonna try LibreWolf then. I just hope at least "Restore previous session" works properly
If that one doesn't work for you i use Floorp and it's pretty good. The like defaults are not ideal, but its got a ton of customization options.
Also some Browser Extensions: Get these from the firefox extension store.
Ublock Origin: General adblock and doesn’t need much configuring. If it doesn’t block something you want gone you can right click it and block it manually.
Alternative Player for Twitch.tv: This will add a new web player for twitch streams which will block ads in the streams. It will drop the resolution while it blocks them to 480p and say “Hiding Ads” in the corner. I am pretty sure the streamer still gets paid since it has no way to know you arent watching them.
ClearURLs: Removes tracking elements from URLs
I still don’t care about cookies: Will get rid of annoying cookie pop ups on most sites by just accepting them automatically.
Sponsorblock for YouTube – Skip Sponsorships: Names self explanatory. Community powered so some new videos wont be flagged yet. You can configure what is skipped and isnt.
A few others I find useful, Dont Track Me Google, Twitch Channel Points Autoclicker, Unwanted Twitch, Youtube-shorts block, Pinyin Web(For learning chinese), Dark Reader.
CleanURL's is unnecessary if you have uBlock Origin installed:

Same thing with I still don't care about cookies. Use the two default Cookie Notice filters in UBO.
For the Google tracking you can use Multi-Account Containers, but that's an upgrade rather than a replacement.
I'm pretty sure a few of the Twitch ones can be solved with Tapermonkey and various scripts, but don't quote me as I don't use Twitch.
Just remember - the more extensions you install the easier it is to track you.
