I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

One of my favorites are

  • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
  • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
  • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
  • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

What extensions do you guys use?

Chameleon. My user agent changes every 30 seconds. Makes attempts to track me basically useless.

Are you passing CloudFlare captchas with that? I'm using a VPN and whenever I hit a CloudFlare captcha with a modified user agent, it doesn't let me pass.

Sometimes. It depends if the admin misconfigured their cloudflare.

I dont have issues logging into cloudflare's website itself with this setup. I have had to email many website admins to let them know that they have a broken cloudflare config.
