Share your security configuration!

There is an article on How to Automatically Delete Cookies in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and theoretically, most, if not all, other Mozilla Firefox and Chromium-based browsers also have similar built-in functions.

I pretty much use or, have used the same stuff as everyone else at one time or another. I noticed some using adblock extension for Firefox. I wouldn't recommend that because you negate your security privacy login information to the creators of adblock. I am neutral when it comes to ad revenue. With that said, you can have more than one profile for Firefox. One can be your default and other setup with the adblock extension installed on it. The best way to block all ads is with a Raspberry PI-hole. So that is my 2 cent tip for you all.
