What are your setting os Firefox? What do you recomend?

@Compactor9679 @PrivateOnions uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Multi-account Containers, Facebook Container, and Decentraleyes are the basic extensions you’d want. Then disable pocket and telemetry in settings. There’s more but that’s a pretty good starting configuration.

install just adblock origin and consentomatic and the quality of your internet experience will increase 10 fold. that's really all you need and then you can add on some more extensions later.

I use the Arkenfox user.js repository for my Firefox profile, with a few lines in the user.js file modified to make it easier to use such as keyword.enabled set to true and browser.startup.page = 1 and other stuff, installed UBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Dark Reader, Cookie AutoDelete, and Multiaccount Containers with certain cookies set to never delete within those containers. I have taken three different browser fingeprint tests from different sources and it does great in all three tests with super solid fingerprinting resistance. It is, in my opinion the most private yet very usable and daily driveable browser.
