Google Container - prevents Google from tracking you across sites.Facebook Container - prevents Facebook from tracking you across sites.uBlock Origin - Adblock but better and uses less CPU.You can find the list of them below as reference: In my previous piece, I listed several extensions that in my opinion are absolutely necessary to have a safe and privacy-filled internet browsing experience. And second, Firefox’s creator (opens in new tab) has stated that it will support Manifest V3 but let ad blockers work as intended. First, since the browser doesn’t sell users advertisements or track users within the browser, any ad block or anti-tracking extension will work to block any third-party shenanigans. The issue is that Chrome’s version of V3 will most likely break current ad blockers, including those two aforementioned ones as well as other anti-web tracking extensions like Privacy Badger.īut Mozilla Firefox avoids both issues. And in June 2023, Manifest V2 will be phased out for all stable channels with the eventual plan to introduce V3 completely.
You see, in January 2023 Google started the process (opens in new tab) of phasing out the Manifest V2 Chrome extension platform for its experimental Canary channel in order to introduce its Manifest V3. And if you use other ones like the excellent uBlock Origin and uMatrix ad blockers, well I’ve got some bad news for you. It turns out that Google reportedly pays it to whitelist (opens in new tab) all its online advertising, defeating the purpose of even having it since Google will still track you through the browser. The first is that, if your ad-blocking extension of choice happens to be Adblock Plus, don’t even bother. Adblock is actually useful, and it won’t breakĭespite Google Chrome having extensions that block ads and advertisement tracking in general, there are two reasons why it’s rendered meaningless. It’s the feature that I originally left Firefox for Chrome over and one of the main features that had me coming back. In my opinion, this is especially handy for transferring over tabs from your mobile browser to a desktop one.
Syncing tabs is exactly as it sounds, with tabs from all your devices logged in the same Firefox profile available to open on your current device.
