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**. Extensions can be more powerful, 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). 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.
- 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.
