Re: Browsers
Firefox. As far as security extensions I am using Facebook Container, NoMiner, NoScript, And uBlock Origin.

Re: Browsers
Work: Firefox and Chrome; FF as primary, Chrome as secondary. uBlock Origin, LastPass, and a JSON formatter on both. IETabs on Chrome.
Home: Chrome primary, FF secondary (may be switching this up, due to the planned changes in Chrome that will make it harder for adblockers to work) - uBlock Origin, LastPass, Privacy Badger, SocialFixer. Tampermonkey on Chrome.

Re: Browsers
Chrome...
I can't figure out why people would use a browser from a corporation that makes it's $$$ from tracking you, selling out your data and making $$$ on you from advertising.
For me it's Firefox with UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and NoSrcipt

Re: Browsers
uBlock Origin seems the popular choice here. I'm using AdBlocker Ultimate, should I make the switch? I don't really see anything happening with ABU that I don't like, it seems to keep things pretty tidy, but I see a lot of people using uBO. What are the benefits of some of these others as well?

Re: Browsers
Performance, and they're not "bought out" like Adblock Plus was (ABP lets some ads through because they're not on the default blacklists). uBO just blocks errrrrything.

Good to know. I downloaded it to Chrome, but use FF most of the time, so I'll put it there too. Thanks for the info
