  • user.js

    Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening

  • Actually, most of your needs are covered by setting your tracking protection to strict in FF settings and ublock origin. Other stuff is redundant and it only makes you more fingerprintable. If you want to know more, you can read about it here https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions or watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7-bW2y6lcI

  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • Just fyi, having both uBo and DDGPE can conflict. uBo can do everything DDGPE can do. You just got to set it up. Here is a guide to several "modes", that people use. I personally use the Medium setting.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
