• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

You don't need Privacy Badger and Ghostery anymore if you turn the Enhanced Tracking Protection up to "strict" in settings.

Ghostery has been great for denying cookie pop-ups. I don't think this setting will replace this feature?

Edit...

Nevermind. I just read this comment which suggests uBlock Origin can also handle cookies!

Oh even better! I would rather have settings in my browser instead of relying on extensions anyway. One of the many things I love about Firefox
