The following add-ons for the Firefox browser can help with that. Here are some of our favorites that will block all the online nonsense you don’t want any part of:

  1. HTTPS Everywhere: This tries to enable the full HTTPS protocol on sites that even have limited HTTPS support. This way, you can be sure that when you’re entering sensitive information into a site, at no point will your information send unencrypted.
  2. Ghostery: It is a powerful add-on to protect your privacy and online activities from being tracked and hence Ghostery sees the web page and detect trackers, web bugs, pixels and beacons.
  3. No Script: The reason why No Script is one of the extensions worth adding to your browser, since it allows you to enable the support for wanted and unwanted scripts on or off selectively.
  4. Blur: Blur is your one-stop solution to all your privacy and security-related problems. It prevents trackers, manages your password, and also masks your online identities. Blur will protect all your data and information from people who are always looking for a chance to hack into it.
  5. WOT(Web Of Trust): The WOT plugin safeguards your online activity by informing you if the website you are about to access is safe to visit or not. The plugin will show you a trust meter for websites and search results, as well as warn you when you are at the verge of accessing an untrusted or spam website.
  6. Adblock Plus: This plugin is the best of all, since by the name you can guess it, it’s an advertisement blocker for all the websites…yes All including YOUTUBE!
  7. DuckDuckGo: The plugin provides you the privacy essentials for your online presence. It keeps you safe from tracking by smart encryption and tracker blocking, so your personal information remains personal.

The Best Way To Protect Your Privacy Is Knowledge
