Firefox is among the most secure mainstream browsers. Still, there are some loose ends. I recently stumbled upon this post that features Firefox privacy recommendations and tweaks to strengthen Mozilla browser security.

it's also quite wrong:

DNT requests can be ignored and are an additional data point to identify you (although the recent LinkedIn ruling could be a light in a tunnel)
Privacy Badger doesn't do anything uBlock Origin doesn't
HTTPS Everywhere isn't needed since the option is now built into Firefox itself
you can block scripts with uBO, no need for NoScript
uMatrix has been deprecated

Can you elaborate on the "umatrix has been deprecated"?

Development of uMatrix has been discontinued for quite a while. The extension works totally fine though, and in my opinion it provides vastly superior UI for managing permissions than anything else I know.

Thanks, I was wondering since it was working fine as you said. But in the long run I will have to look for an alternative I guess...
