I haven't found any extensions that Firefox would need. All it needs is freedom from Safari.
Got a tip for us?

i am glad you are happy with it. Robust ad blocking is a must for me.
This is the most moronic move. Those of you who are so called privacy activists have no idea whatsoever about what Google marketing collects from you. No it doesn’t collect your ssn or underwear size. It doesn’t even collect your name or email in raw format. It collects things you’ve browsed so it can better recommend things you like to you.
Apples move towards this is two fold, winning over ignorant people who do not know what gclid is or collects. And second, to usher in Apple Ads.

Why should I agree with Google tracking my browsing behaviour? They never asked my permission. I don’t need Google recommending me anything.
Nothing Moronic about it!
Instead of calling people "activists" & "ignorant" you may want to read and digest the info about this feature properly, it's only switched on automatically if you enable PRIVATE BROWSING....the key word here is PRIVATE 😊
All browsing has to be switched on manually, it's only automatic in private browsing
Apple does at least 6 updates a year, sometimes more with security updates, which works out every 2 months 😊
It can be enabled in all browsing, you just have to do it manually
Hmm, depends on whose interpreting the science
This has actually nothing to do with the adds you see when you're on a particular web site
Google has paid over $600 million in the past year to compensate for privacy violations. This only happens if you provably violate laws or agreements with users. What is truly moronic is believing that Google cannot and does not associate the data it collects from users of its services with the real identities of those users, and then publicly attacking those who are trying to prevent it.
Don't forget about somehow they include "we need to save our children!"
As far as I understand, there is still a 'difference' between private Browsing and all Browsing! Even when you select All Browsing only private Browsing uses different DNS Servers - within all Browsing mode this is not the case!
But they're not the same - even when enabling 'all browsing' as feature. If you check the used DNS servers you can see, that only with private browsing they do use cloudflare servers!
If I understand it correctly, it is better to turn 'off' this setting completely!
Not for me personally. If a site doesn’t work with private browsing, private relay and vpn (I use Proton which has great ad blocking so I’ve stopped using separate ad blockers), I interpret that as a sign that the site is likely engaged in identity profiteering and stop using that site (“99%” of the time). I recognize that many sites rely on advertising to keep the lights on, so I contribute to the handful of ad supported sites I use frequently which keeps my conscience clear.
