I'm sure a lot of us are already using Firefox with uBlock Origin, and I'm also sure that most of us already know about Arkenfox.
Despite this, one thing that I'm still noticing on the internet are people recommending extensions that, as per the Arkenfox wiki, are frankly just not needed anymore.
So people, please stop using:
- Cookie extensions like Cookie Auto Delete
- URL cleaning extensions like ClearURLs
- Anti-fingerprinting extensions
- Redundant privacy extensions like Ghostery or Privacy Badger
- NoScript
And also please note that Firefox Multi-Account Containers is probably overkill for most threat models, and that Firefox's builtin Total Cookie Protection is probably just fine.
The link says that NoScript is "redundant with uBlock Origin"
I like NoScript because I can click on its icon on the toolbar, and easily select which scripts on a given page to whitelist, or which to whitelist temporarily (until browser quit.) And on any page, I can select which set of scripts (by domain name) on that page to run or whitelist.
With uBlock Origin, it's only "all script on the page" or "no scripts on the page", right?
nope. You should read the uBO wiki's pages about medium mode and hard mode. You have pretty granular control if you're using uBO in "I am an advanced user" mode.
Oh, thanks, I didn't realize that about advanced user mode, I'll look into it!
Take a look at this documentation, it’s pretty good.

Ublock Origin allows that as well, but it's not as easy as NoScript. So, IMO that's a perfectly valid reason to prefer NoScript.
