- Cookie AutoDelete + I don't care about cookies
- They work as a team to make cookies a less invasive experience. Cookie AutoDelete deletes your cookies every time you close Firefox, and "IDC about cookies" hides the annoying pop-ups asking if you want to accept them or not. Keep in mind that deleting cookies means your browser won't remember your log-ins; on Cookie AutoDelete, you can whitelist any website that you don't want cookies erased from, e.g. sites you want to stay logged into.
- Don't track me Google
- Sometimes Google changes links into an ugly, unrecognizable mess. This undoes that.

- Unhook YouTube
- Makes YouTube less engaging and therefore less of a time-waster. No more autoplay, endless recommended videos, or scrolling through comments. You can adjust the settings to customize your experience however you want.
- Mobile (Android)
- DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser
- There may be a better app out there, but this is what I use. Makes mobile web browsing a quick experience with no ads. You can delete your entire history and cookies by clicking the Fire button.
