Preferences alone are **not enough**. In fact, some of these are **mandatory** if you use the `ghacks user.js` in it's default state. For example Preferences alone are **not enough**. In fact, some of these are **mandatory** if you use the `ghacks user.js` in it's default state. For example
- All tracking protection and safebrowsing is turned off by default. Unless you disable the relevant preferences (and reset them) or use a substitute (uBlock Origin), then you are putting yourself at risk
- All cookies are denied by default. Unless you change the preference, or use an add-on you will never be able to login anywhere. - All cookies are denied by default. Unless you change the preference, or use an add-on you will never be able to login anywhere.

Add-ons can be more powerful than a preference, such as offering whitelists/blacklists and more granular control. This allows you to set a preference at a `deny-all` level, but get back functionality on sites where you need it. An add-on can also solve issues where the browser itself has no current solution (such as canvas fingerprinting). Others listed offer a simple toggle for you to use with problem sites. This list will cover privacy and security related add-ons only, to enhance and work in tandem with the `ghacks user.js`. While we believe these are the very best of the best, this can be subjective depending on your needs.
