Firefox Rolls Out Total Cookie Protection By Default
There is a project of mine where I tried to script the changes, but its currently a mess and I dont think it works. Should take care of everything, downloading the file, applying the changes, and also creating the fitting profile and launching it.
-
How private is Arc Browser compared to my current Firefox setup?
I made a script (currently linux only but for native, snap and flatpak) to change a few settings and make it usable again.
-
Lightweight FF alternatives?
What do you mean by "lightweight"? You can use SimpleMenuWizard to reduce context menu entries, you can use Arkenfox or my adapted version to remove Pocket, Telemetry e.g. and make it a perfect privacy browser.
-
How have you configured your browsers
Look at this script, it automates the Download of Arkenfox user.js and applying of a few settings making it more user friendly while not really limiting usability.

Replaced T430 Wifi card, awesome speed improvements!
But using Firefox with the Arkenfox hardening (custom script I made, changing some minor usability settings and handling updates), it was reeally slow.
-
How you manage multiple Firefox profiles?
You can download my changes here, and Arkenfox here. What you do is, open your profiles folder (visible in about:profiles, link it somewhere where you can easily find it!) And copy the user.js in it (Firefox has to be closed during that). Take my additions and copy paste them to the top of the script. Now there will be double lines, search for them (Kwrite etc. support that) and deactivate the original line with //.
-
Does anyone use "Startpage" search engine? Any thoughts about it?
I use Firefox with the Arkenfox settings (you can change them to be less annoying) and this as the standard search engine
- They say Brave sucks due to privacy, so which browser instead?
- Firefox hardening: this addition to Arkenfox-user.js makes it usable for me! Be private easily!
