There's two categories or buckets here if you're playing to win; One is a list of extensions you can install on *anyone's* computer without them even noticing the privacy/security boost they're receiving (because if they notice, you lose because they blame the new *ware for all their trivial problems). The other list is the power-user stuff that really works, but which n00bs will reject out of ignorance, blaming the protective software instead of the buggy websites it exposes. My short-list for install-on-everyone's-computer is: * Disconnect * HTTPS-Everywhere * uBlock Origin (don't change default settings) * Disable 3rd Party Cookies NoScript, Cookie-killers, RequestPolicy etcetera are too prone to creating problems for browser users; to an enlightened user, blame the website, work around, or make an exception and move on. But to a n00b, exposing errors in tracker-rich sites is unacceptable, sadly. On 08/09/15 00:57, rysiek wrote:

I wonder, is there an A-list of must-have extensions for Firefox? Because "the internet is for porn," and porn doesn't work on text-only browsers...
NoScript, RequestPolicy, RefControl, CookieMonster, policeman, https-everywhere, monkeysphere, RedirectCleaner, CertPatrol|Convergence, BetterPrivacy, random-agent-spoofer, ssleuth
And PrivacyBadger, I might add.
Also, Self-Destructing Cookies is an interesting one, as while CookieMonster allows you to keep track of which sites can or cannot set cookies, that's for-session granularity. Self-Destructing Cookies destroys cookies after a set time after closing a given tab. I use both.
And if you're into this kind of stuff, Lightbeam. Just for shits and giggles.
