Recommended Add-ons for TenFourFox
Posted by: beachycove on 2017-01-08 12:05:03
I would like to put in a plug for two Firefox Add-ons for T4Fox: uMatrix and Bluhell Firewall.

On my powerBook G4, 1.5ghz, I have tried other ad-blockers, etc., before, and not noticed much by way of improvement. But I saw these two recommended somewhere last night, and today I installed them to see the effect.

Well, there sure is an effect: they have improved browsing speed hugely. I am very impressed.

Any others that someone can recommend? I've heard, e.g., that there are interface tweaks that can help, but have no experience of that and would value some advice.

NoScript is pretty useful since the increasing waves of JS are bringing even the mightiest of CPUs to their knees.

I'm a bit of a tin-foil hat type 🙂

So, I like to install Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and HTTPS everywhere.

I like to poke around on Gopher now and again too, so OverbiteFF comes in handy.
