sangheeta To calculate it suitable for your DPI, I recall you can do simple math (your dpi) / 96

    Junglist Interesting, gotta take a look whether Lepton or Technetium looks better to me.

        [deleted] Junglist Kind of a dumb question since you both dig (as do I) those 50/50 themes (half dark/half light)----is that contrast un-noticeable after a while? It looks like one of those themes that may change one's computing experience, which is always cool.

              brent On my end the colours are not mixed, I use Technetium, but the Firefox theme I've selected is the system theme (which is currently set to arc-dark - it's available in the repos).

                      about:config
                      privacy.firstparty.isolate=true (false is default).

                      Been hearing so many good about the FPI (first party cookie isolate) feature that it makes (according to internet chatter) things like decentralyze (cdn safe injector) and much of UBO, and cookie-auo-delete irrelevant. We will see. Not sure I buy it outright. I like the first extension a lot.

                      Of course loading got faster when I 86'd some extensions. Everything is balance, I suppose. I don't think Mozilla likes to advertise it, but about:config is a decent place to manage cookies and privacy vs 6-7 extensions. I had 6-7 extensions and really think it's overkill.

                        There is actually not much use anymore for enabling the old FPI (outside of TOR browser maybe) with all the current isolation / blocking features Firefox has, especially containers and Enhanced Tracking Protection. And AFAIK FPI isn't seeing much improvement anymore (if at all) and disables all or most of the current isolation / blocking features.

                        You should be better off just setting Enhanced Tracking Protection to "strict", properly setting up which data to clear when Firefox gets closed and using uBlock Origin.

                        It will almost give you the same results (IIRC FPI still isolates a bit more currently) while using current isolation / blocking features but with a lot less breakage.

                        And if you wan to up it a notch you can use Multi Account Containers together with the extension Temporary Containers (in auto mode). But with the ongoing improvements to Enhanced Tracking Protection most privacy enhancements can now be gained without using Multi Account Containers, making them pretty much only useful for their core use case (which is being able to log into the same site with different logins at the same time using the same browser with different containers).

                        Here's some good info about Total Cookie Protection (which is part of Enhanced Tracking Protection):

                        https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/1974

                        More info can be found in the release and feature announcements by Mozilla.

                        Also there is work being done deprecating the old FPI:

                        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649876

                        So at one one point enabling it (if the setting is still there) will most likely just enable the current protection features you can already enable from the normal settings menu.

                            [deleted] that's the debate, you are right. I have the 'strict' and FF allegedly containers these cookies (using containers as an adjective) anyways for seperation. Your points very valid and your explanation excellent----it still leads me to believe that many extensions are overkill.
                            I will read both those links right now, thanks for your great reply.

                                  'custom' is even better in my opinion,as it gives you the freedom to choose exactly what to block.

                                    in fact I realized that it simply and directly applies the compact setting for the size of the toolbar.
                                    If I re-enable the compact mode in about:config then choose compact mode in the customization settings, it is the same result! 😅

                                    thank you mozilla for this secret mysterious enigma game 🤣 , my brain had a lot of fun!
