I looked through your list and found 2 other addons that you can replace with uBO. The first is Consent-O-Matic, you can configure Firefox to automatically block all 3rd-party cookies and use the following lists in uBO to block the cookie popups and notices: "AdGuard/uBO - Cookie Notices" (It's pre-installed in uBlock Origin, you just need to enable it in the settings) and this one: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/

You can also replace the ClearURL addon with the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list, it's also pre-installed, just enable it.

You might gain a little bit of extra speed by disabling/removing those 2 unnecessary addons, and it will definitely minimize your browser fingerprint, making you less susceptible to tracking

Edit: You can also replace Bypass Paywalls Clean with this list: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt. I also recommend this list in addition to the other one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llacb47/miscfilters/master/antipaywall.txt. Also install Violentmonkey and this userscript: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/userscript/bpc.en.user.js

Man you took your personal time to give me additional advice, you really didn't have to, i appreciate it, thank you so much ❤️

I believe Firefox now does what ClearURL advertises (removing tracking elements in URLs), but I'm not sure I'll have to check again

I enjoy helping people out, when I have some free time. Otherwise I would waste my time scrolling on Tiktok or Instagram Reels lol.

Yes, they added such a feature in version 120 I believe, but I would still use the uBlock list. The performance impact is not noticeable at all, it doesn't hurt. But the ClearURL extension is kinda unnecessary.

Good to know, thanks again!

The antipaywall link leads to a 404 page.

[–] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Fixed the link. GitLab is doing some weird stuff with links I guess.
