Great Tips

Some great suggestions there, and it's good to see we have a huge overlap. I missed ClearURLs but installed it now.

Can I suggest Consent-O-Matic for the auto deny of consent forms.

Hesitant about add-ons

Thank you for sharing this show. I very rarely install add-ons, due to several being taken over by malicious actors.

I will need to look through the ones you and Ken recommended.

in reply to Ken

Hi Ken,

Thank you for the reminder. It was my plan to mention the other shows of 2023 of which I took some add-ons into my collection, these are:

hpr3851 :: Firefox extensions Ken https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3851/index.html
hpr3862 :: Firefox Extensions Archer72 https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr3862/index.html

In regard to your suggestion of: Consent-O-Matic. In the settings of "uBlock Origin" I hiave activated:
Cookie - section
EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices
AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices

However, I use the chance to plug something new: Your "LocalCDN" is a webbrowser-extension that emulates Content Delivery Networks to improve your online privacy - some diagrams in the lower area of the website for better understanding: www.localcdn.org

Cheers
Reto
