I'm sure a lot of us are already using Firefox with uBlock Origin, and I'm also sure that most of us already know about Arkenfox.

Despite this, one thing that I'm still noticing on the internet are people recommending extensions that, as per the Arkenfox wiki, are frankly just not needed anymore.

So people, please stop using:

  • Cookie extensions like Cookie Auto Delete
  • URL cleaning extensions like ClearURLs
  • Anti-fingerprinting extensions
  • Redundant privacy extensions like Ghostery or Privacy Badger
  • NoScript

And also please note that Firefox Multi-Account Containers is probably overkill for most threat models, and that Firefox's builtin Total Cookie Protection is probably just fine.

To add to the other fine points here, I almost exclusively do all my personal browsing on my phone. Arkenfox isn't designed to work on Firefox mobile.

Like the other poster said, Mull is a fork of Firefox for Android that includes tweaks from the Arkenfox user.js.
