      I looked through your list and found 2 other addons that you can replace with uBO. The first is Consent-O-Matic, you can configure Firefox to automatically block all 3rd-party cookies and use the following lists in uBO to block the cookie popups and notices: “AdGuard/uBO - Cookie Notices” (It’s pre-installed in uBlock Origin, you just need to enable it in the settings) and this one: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/

      You can also replace the ClearURL addon with the “AdGuard URL Tracking Protection” list, it’s also pre-installed, just enable it.

      You might gain a little bit of extra speed by disabling/removing those 2 unnecessary addons, and it will definitely minimize your browser fingerprint, making you less susceptible to tracking

      Edit: You can also replace Bypass Paywalls Clean with this list: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt. I also recommend this list in addition to the other one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llacb47/miscfilters/master/antipaywall.txt. Also install Violentmonkey and this userscript: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/userscript/bpc.en.user.js

        Man you took your personal time to give me additional advice, you really didn’t have to, i appreciate it, thank you so much ❤️

        I believe Firefox now does what ClearURL advertises (removing tracking elements in URLs), but I’m not sure I’ll have to check again

          I enjoy helping people out, when I have some free time. Otherwise I would waste my time scrolling on Tiktok or Instagram Reels lol.

          Yes, they added such a feature in version 120 I believe, but I would still use the uBlock list. The performance impact is not noticeable at all, it doesn’t hurt. But the ClearURL extension is kinda unnecessary.

        The antipaywall link leads to a 404 page.

          Fixed the link. GitLab is doing some weird stuff with links I guess.
