Preferences alone are **not enough**. Extensions can be more powerful, such as offering whitelists/blacklists and more granular control. This may allow you to set a preference at a `deny-all` level, but get back functionality on sites where you need it. An extension can also solve issues where the browser itself has no current solution. This list covers privacy and security related extensions only. While we believe these are the very best of the best, this can be subjective depending on your needs. We are also not saying you have to use all these extensions.
