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 cookies are denied by default. Unless you change the preference, use site permission exceptions, or use an extension you will never be able to login anywhere.
- If you disable Tracking Protection and Safe Browsing then you should use a substitute, such as uBlock Origin.
Extensions 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 extension 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 extensions 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.

If you would like to submit a privacy or security related extension to be added to this list, please post the details [here](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/294) for consideration, thanks.
