I block all ads, tracking, beacons, etc. because they are now the single largest vector for malware.

I use Firefox largely because it's the most hackable browser. I tweak Firefox to do and not do several things:

- I don't allow sites to see my history - I don't allow peerconnect - I don't allow WebRTC (shows private address schemas) - I don't allow much JS - I don't allow fingerprinting beyond pure basics - I don't allow HTTP/S referrer

I do block everything not associated with the pure content of the page. This is getting more difficult, but the tools to help are keeping pace.

Yes, this makes my fingerprint highly unique, no good way around that yet, but I use multiple instance of Firefox for different purposes as mitigation

Would you mind elaborating on the tools you use?

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I don't use anything elaborate.

I use the following Firefox addons:

- uBlock Origin

- Disconnect

- Decentraleyes

- Webmail Ad Blocker

I make the following changes in Firefox's about:config:

layout.css.visited_links_enabled (Toggle to false)

media.peerconnection.enabled (Toggle to false)

network.prefetch-next (Toggle to false)

network.http.sendRefererHeader (Set to 0 (zero))

network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferer (Set to false)

I also sometimes set dom storage to false, but this can sometimes interfere with some webmail clients.

If you're unsure of a setting, reference the Mozilla KB: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

You realize that by blocking all that stuff you're only making your fingerprint more unique?

I'll second _tulpa's request. It would be nice to see your configuration for this.
