Top Browser Privacy Plugins for Firefox - PT 2

HTTPS Everywhere


https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/
Encrypt the web! HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension to protect your communications by enabling HTTPS encryption automatically on sites that are known to support it, even when you type URLs or follow links that omit the https: prefix. Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.



PrivacyBadger


https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/
Privacy Badger automatically blocks spying ads and invisible trackers as you browse. It's there to ensure that companies can't track your browsing without your consent. Privacy Badger sends the Do Not Track header with each request and evaluates the likelihood that you are still being tracked. If a domain appears to be tracking you on multiple websites, Privacy Badger automatically blocks your request from being sent to the tracking domain.



Random Agent Spoofer


https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/random-agent-spoofer/
