AdBlock Tips

• Before creating a filer, check if you can fine-tune the rule, e.g. adding a wildcard * might make it more generic, or blocking a whole domain instead of a subdomain
• domain##div>a:has-text(/promoted post/): at domain, remove any <div> containing a link with text "promoted post".

Personal individual tweaks

• Allow CORS with local file:// urls: about:config → privacy.file_unique_origin → false
• Site Isolation on Firefox: about:config → fission.autostart → true (can check info at about:processes)
• Disable media autoplay: about:config → media.autoplay.default → 0 and media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground → true
• Force dark mode under Linux: about:config → ui.systemUsesDarkTheme → 1
• Enabling DNS-over-HTTPS
• Bigger scrollbar: widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override → 18
• Activating ECH: about:config → network.dns.echconfig.enabled → true and network.dns.use_https_rr_as_altsvc → true
• Zoomed devtools: devtools.toolbox.zoomValue → 1.2
• Don't auto-close browser if all tabs closed: browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab → false
