What is the browser you are using and it's extensions:

1.- Slimjet 39

Firefox - UBlock Origin (image blocker), User-agent switcher (browse as tablet, iphone, etc. Saves lots of data). I use Palemoon most of the time though. With Palemoon I just have an adblocker and I've switched the user-agent for youtube to iphone in the configuration settings (opens youtube mobile site, saves data no ads).

Firefox nopupsave mode
Edited, That's 4.
Ublock Origin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ck-origin/
TWP https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ginas-web/
I don't care about cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... t-cookies/ I started using it often
Flagfox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flagfox/ sometimes I use it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you already know, a little tip as a note:

I opened the Firefox .deb file with UEXtract and packaged it with ''Create sfs Package''.
I replaced the resulting sfs file with the name ''adrv_upupbb_19.03.sfs'' in the usb.
Firefox opens in nopupsave mode at every startup :thumbup:

I've used almost all of them at one time or another, but my solid workhorse for a good long while now has been:

LibreWolf appimage. I symlink the .librewolf profile folder to /root and it's effectively a portable. No installation, updating is as simple as downloading the new appimage and dropping it in my LibreWolf-img folder located where I want it, usually /mnt/home/portableAPP.

It displays pdf's really well, great bookmark management, runs on any system, comes with all the security settings enabled, allows for deleting history, cookies, cache on exit unlike chrome based browsers.

It's great for printing documents, has good theming etc.

I also use Ungoogled Chromium Portable by @mikewalsh for doing things like accessing anything google related. It runs as spot.

Between the two I don't really boot much else these days except when I'm using terminal apps I often use lynx and elinks as the default html viewer. Many of my posts to the forum have actually been done from elinks or lynx,

ungoogled chromium
recently changed after finding seamonkey increasingly unusable

I used to use extensions to "Increase security" but have quit as I have found extensions sometimes break things, and dont always do as adverstized.

I block ads with https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts , I run a startup script that downloads the latest to /etc/hosts on each boot.

ungoogled chromium and my profile configs are unsquashed from a sfs on every browser startup. Nothing is remembered or saved from a previous session.

Bit of a moot point, in my case. Since I package all of 'em, they all tend to get a "look-in" from time to time! :D

My preference has always been the Chromium-based browsers, however. The 'zillas are distinctly of secondary importance to me. ATM, I'm sort of alternating between Iron & Slimjet.....and occasional excursions with Edge 4 Linux.

Extensions, all have the same complement:-

- LastPass
- AdGuard
- Video Downloader Professional
- GisMeteo (weather extension)
- Linux Scroll Speed Fix (lets you scroll just as fast as the Windows versions of these browsers do) - Recommended!
- Xodo PDF Reader/editor
- ReadAloud (TTS)

That's about it, really.

Mike. ;)

Have a metered data connection from hotspotting my phone so trying to limit total data. Firefox with:

NoScript
uBlock Orgin
ImageBlock
Brave Search

I keep a set of .xpi files from the extensions folder to install these offline for each new Firefox.
