What to Do with Berkeley's Famous No-Clothing-Allowed Hot Tub
Another article from the Wall Street Journal. How to get rid of the paywall? This extension works (there is a Chrome version too):
https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...
In the case of WSJ, these two little things will bypass the paywall:
1) use "https://www.drudgereport.com/" as the Referer for "www.wsj.com"
2) block the cookies
I'm using a proxy server that allows me to do this so I don't need the extension.

Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
This extension is asking for a lot of permissions it shouldn't ask for
If you want an alternative that only requests permissions for sites with paywalls, this one is better: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...

German court declares Do Not Track to be legally binding
Firefox with strict Enhanced Tracking Protection.
uBlock Origin with all available filter lists enabled (except the one for Mobile pages, if you're on dekstop).
https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies to reject all tracking consent requests.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... for subdomains you want to log into but still want to access the main and other domains without being connected. For instance, I have it set always open mail.google.com in the Work container so that I can log into Gmail but still search google.com, navigate google.com/maps (etc) outside the work account.
Then, install https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete and set it to delete all data from all domains expect the ones you want to stay logged into (Google for instance… but only inside the Work container mentioned above). Then, all websites data (including cookies) will be auto-deleted a few seconds after your close all tabs from that domain. You have to enable the auto-cleaning and support for containers.
You can tweak a few more things but that should be enough.
I also recommend the awesome https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... add-on but only for users who support some media financially. It's fine to workaround paywalls (such a bad system) but good journalists still needs to be paid somehow.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
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.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
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.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
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.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> 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.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
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.
What are some alternatives?
