I wrote trisquel and suggested they make an abrowser debian package. They have not answered. I do not know where to get the abrowser source code.

I'm trying to add the ublock origin from https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons, but I get "the add-on could not be loaded because of a connection failure". Tried from Abrowser Add-ons menu as well, same result. I'm not very experienced with Terminal, but could I use it to install

IMHO, it would be a much better idea to use a local web-proxy like Privoxy to block these URLs. Privoxy can work as an ad-blocker, a program to route web traffic through Tor, and for blocking privacy-violating sites c: Take that, guugle, we got you!

zoroastro: no.. Don't think now, because of WOT case that this is a frequent behavior - it is not. Free software addons are safe in most cases. I just recommend the rule of not installing what you don't really need, that's all. And Html5Everywhere is indeed useful for you so..enjoy!

I really like the idea of having only 3 addons installed (though it seems it demands knowing how to configure them, as far as I know, which isn't far). It seems it would cover 99% of the needed protection if properly configured (What are those 1%? No idea yet). OTOH, let's say I mainly use

tonlee, as Magique said, first of all make sure it is free software, then all you can do is you trust only well known and trustworthy developers. Don't install things you don't need, this should be the "philosophy" of it, I think.

I disliked how the firefox gui got modified. I do not know if firefox can get configured to the previous gui. That is why I installed the restore theme addon. An addon that I do not trust and would prefer not to use. Same about the addons zoom button and manually sort folders on thunderbird.
