# https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/docs/-/blob/master/addons.md

* (Discussion pending.)
** Recommended Addons **
* add as first one: [NoScript](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/) Block JavaScript.
* add second: [uMatrix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/) Note: uMatrix development has frozen, but it gives more control than NoScript, use either uMatrix or NoScript.
* add Bitwarden add-on [add-on page](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/)
* remove Browser Plugs Privacy Firewall (dead link)
* remove uBlock stuff (see section below)
** new: uBlock Origin tweaks **
* we should consider linking to ublock guide for advanced modes, and probably to at least one filter list that works against cryptomining and ones that removes url tracking (which is a good replacement to addons like clearURLs, don't track me google etc)
* with regards to nano/nanoblocker: we should probably just remove it completely from the list; basically the new owners made it malicious.
* good blocklist agains crypto-mining: [NoCoin adblock list](https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list).
* a collection of filter lists that are available on filterlists.com: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/discussions/163
* if you have the patience to fix a few websites when they break the medium mode is a really good balance between protection an usability imo: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
* I'll change it to add a 'ublock tweaks' section, could you pass a link to that Wiki? here it is: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki
ok I collected what I would consider the essential links to understand how uBlock Origin works, I kept it pretty slim as it's already a lot to take:
* easy mode, the default mode that we ship with the browser -> https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-easy-mode
* how to add your own static filters, which should be included as we suggest filterlists -> https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web
* dynamic filtering, suggested for enhanced protection -> https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide
* medium mode, suggested for enhanced protection, might require to fix some websites manually ->
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
** Recommended Addons Settings **
* remove 'cookie master' as it should be done in librewolf.cfg
* remove 'User Agent Platform Spoofer', is done in librewolf.cfg
* remove 'browser plugs privacy firewal' (dead link)
* And the verbatim block below it is also obsolete.
