**Firefox** has some really strong privacy settings such as [Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop) which can help block various [types of tracking](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_what-enhanced-tracking-protection-blocks).
|
|
|
|
These options can be found in the *Privacy & Security* settings page ( ≡ → Settings → Privacy & Security).

#### Extensions
|
|
We normally do not recommend installing any extensions, as they have privileged access within your browser. We make an exception for [uBlock Origin](/browsers/#additional-resources),
|
|
a popular content blocker and 🏆️ [Recommended Extension](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/add-on-badges#w_recommended-extensions) by Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
#### Arkenfox (advanced)
|
|
The [Arkenfox project](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) provides a set of carefully considered options for Firefox. These options are quite strict but a few are subjective and can sometimes cause a website to not work properly. You can easily change these settings to suit your needs. We **strongly recommend** reading through their [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki). Arkenfox also enables [container](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_for-advanced-users) support.
