A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I use Firefox and the arkenfox user.js, which is not an extension, but helps with privacy. For the extensions, though, they are as follows:

  • uBlock Origin // on medium mode (Check out what blocking modes are if you don't know them already)
  • LibRedirect // to redirect to more privacy respecting alternatives
  • Skip Redirect // for increased privacy in terms of redirects
  • Smart Referer // on strict mode. I use this as I have set network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 0 as 2 was a little too strict for me

I think more extensions than these would probably hurt my setup. I have followed the advice from the arkenfox wiki. Check it out if you want to look into a more private and secure Firefox configuration. Also feel free to criticize or ask questions about my setup :)
