Wherever I setup a new VM/PC and install FF, I always have to reset so many things:

  • Standard search SearXNG/DDG

  • New tab = blank page (privacy, no 3rd party request on new tab opening)

  • Delete Amazon, Google, etc ( out of spite)

  • Opt-out of analytics and studies

  • Change theme to dark

  • Add shortcut for other searches

  • Install ublock origin and ublock matrix (apparently redundant now, but I like visiting websites and blocking everything by default. Looking at you google analytics/fonts/etc.)

  • delete cookies on Exit

  • HYTPS only enable

  • add DNS (if not inside my network where it is handled on router level)

Still my favorite browser

Why not avoid most of this and use LibreWolf instead?

Didn‘t had that on my radar, thank you <3
