Hi Krazy,
This Reddit thread might be perfect for you!
Welcome to Firefox — really nice that you're taking security seriously from the start!
Here's what I'd recommend to get the best protection on your Android device:
1. Enable Enhanced Tracking Protection Go to Firefox menu (three dots) → Settings → Enhanced Tracking Protection → set it to Strict. This blocks trackers, ads, and fingerprinters.
2. Turn on HTTPS-Only Mode Settings → HTTPS-Only Mode → turn it on. This makes sure every site you visit uses a secure connection.
3. Use a Strong DNS Settings → Advanced → DNS over HTTPS → enable it and use Cloudflare or NextDNS. This protects your browsing from being spied on at the network level.
4. Install uBlock Origin Go to Firefox Add-ons and install uBlock Origin — it's the best free ad and script blocker out there. Huge difference in both security and speed.
5. Be careful with permissions When any site asks for your location, camera, or microphone — just deny it unless you actually need it.
That's honestly a solid setup for most people. Start with these and you'll be way more protected than the average user. Feel free to ask if you get stuck on any of these! 😊
