NextDNS-Config VS user.js

As far as lists go, its extremely subjective. Definitely look into the Hagezi lists and yokoffing's configuration guide, I'd recommend Multi Pro++ for most people. Most other blocklists are redundant with that one.

I followed this https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config and my Apple private relay works. It shows a red dot next to the profile when I check but the logs still show what I browse

You download the app, create an account at the official website NextDNS.io, the the first page that will open will be the setup page. From there you will choose your device and follow the steps until your NextDNS account is connected to your device. For the blocklists I recommend this website for guidance. After that you’re all set.

Nope. Can’t confirm. Abel to reach the site while running the same (and only) list. I also don’t see these exact trackers blocked while accessing the domain. I’d set up my profile with this guide. Hope that helps. BR

There is this guy on GitHub and he also did an in depth analysis and wrote a guide. He recommends HaGeZi - Multi NORMAL. I'll stick with that.

Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

For macOS : Thunderbird and you can harden it even more with this : https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js

only arkenfox

This article is shit. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/ is what you want.

If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime

Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
