Choice of web browser and enhancing the user experience

[films&games]

Hi,

I mainly use the Mozilla Firefox web browser, but I know that there are lots of different plugins, e.g. NoScript, which can block all scripts from running on a website until you manually choose which one(s) to run.

I have also more recently started to use duckduckgo as my web search engine instead of Google. Are there any other things that I could do to enhance my web browsing experience, e.g. maybe to make it better on the aspect of privacy.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, please.

Thank you.

If you want real privacy, Firefox takes a lot of tweaking.

You may prefer Brave which is fully configured out of the box.

You might also want to look at a cookie manager, one that lets you whitelist the cookies you want to keep and lets you delete the rest. use Vanilla Cookie Manager on Brave.

Also the HTTPS Everywhere extension if your browser doesn't include it.

Brave is a decent browser but there is also Tor which is supposed to be one of the safest, I believe it is used by GCHQ and the CIA among others in that grey area of work: https://www.torproject.org/

We all know Tor is the best.
You get nice access to all the onion websites! - Just a bit slower than something like Chrome :'(
