Thanks for the links on DDG. That is worth reconsidering, dang. I've also heard Ecosia might be ok?

I second the use of FBPurity for those wanting to use FB. For watching youtube videos I run Freetube. Adblocking gets done from my router, covering my whole network.

I use only 4: adnauseum, dark background and light text, https everywhere, & I don't care about cookies.
I noticed that the adblocker I use, adnauseum, will constantly try to check for updates to it's lists so I have to block it with opensnitch even when I've set all addons to disable updating. Actually i believe so does dark reader. It calls home every single time you open your browser so I removed it. Most popular addons do this so I try to keep it to the barest of minimums. I disable javascript as default & only enable it if required. Can't trust the 'net' whatsoever these days.
I wouldn't call it favorites, more like necessary. I'd remove adnauseum but it really is the easiest way to block javascript and catch the ads my vpn doesn't. I'll look into a simpler javascript on/off button addon later.

Toggle javascript. TYVM oops.
I tentatively settled on Javascript Switcher. It remembers, so you only have to set it once.
