Firefox is nice. But over time there are more and more things I need to configure to get a "good" browser experience.
Things I do:
- about:preferences#general > Startup > restore previous session
- about:preferences#general > Tabs > uncheck Ctrl+Tab cycle ...
- about:preferences#general > Downloads > always ask where to save
- about:preferences#home > Firefox Home Content > disable all except Top Sites
- about:preferences#privacy > Permission > Notification Settings > Block new requests
- about:preferences#privacy > Firefox Data Collection and Use > disable
- Set in about:config extensions.pocket.enabled to false
- Install the addons: uBlock Origin, Gesturefy, Firefox Multi-Account Containers
- I remove the home button
- I remove the sidebar button
- I reject every Firefox pop-up that wants me to enable Sync or whatever
The result is a decent browser, which doesn't get in my way. But I can understand that those steps are too many for casual users and can understand why a lot of people don't like the Internet. I wouldn't like it too, if I had to use default browser settings without an ad-blocker.
