Firefox does my hardening on a daily basis, it's only fair I should see to harden Firefox in return.

Awesome video, guys! I'm really looking forward for that LibreWolf vs. Hardened Firefox video. I'm really interested in LibreWolf as a project, primarily for wanting to get away from anything Chromium-based.

As a guy who has just entered the realms of the master race, this was extreamly helpfull! Im so happy there are people like you giving free tips and tricks 🤘. Keep it up! We need you!

Been a privacy users for years love it and glad to see you guys promoting it. It's actually one of the great sponsor videos you don't see much! Also thanks for hardening tips. Most I had and have been a big fanboy to Adguard but no disrespect to UBO great tool

Would love to see a video comparing LW vs Firefox! Btw great work guys you rock!

please be aware that enabling settings related to "warning/detecting of dangerous files" will send a unique file identifier to google's scan cloud

I'd like to see a video about uBlock Origins settings. I'm never sure if I have all the right lists enabled or if there's any 3rd party ones I should add, or how much of a benefit there'd be to learning to use Hard Mode over Medium.

Is privacy badger not needed then?
I have uBlock Origin, but privacy badger still detects 3 trackers from ads.

Since the previous video was unlisted, I'll add it again: Librewolf might be a better alternative to Firefox as all of the Mozilla telemetry/phoning home is removed out of the box. Pretty much all the steps highlighted in this video are default in Libewolf.
It doesn't automatically update, but there is an extension specifically for Librewolf which notifies you on updates.

Great video. Wen Harfened Firefox VS LibreWolf? Looking forward to that

[cobalt-snake]

What about WebRTC leaks? Or is that no longer needed to be set in the FireFox config?

[henkka]

Overrides guide would be golden. Too noob to understand the Arkefox wiki about it :D

[blind]

is it possible to solve the fingerprint issue WHILE still using Firefox?

(I'm really uneducated on this all so my question might be stupid but it's genuine)

[pessoaanonima]

What do you think about Firefox Profile Maker? I use it and it works well.

[SomeOne-mouw]

Arkemfox's IMPORT URL SHORTENER didnt stay opted, each time I open Ublock its gone? and unticked I cant see any SAVE button - can you help?

[mat_max]

ok but how do i replace clearurls with ublock origin's remove params and what lists do i have to add????

Hey, I'm sure you get this question frequently, but what is your opinion on Waterfox. I've heard it's good and I used to use it but I want to have an experts opinion. Thanks!
