Raymond Hill, the developer of uMatrix, has essentially put the project into hibernation. Enter xiMatrix by 'xi', a continuation of uM with some twists. Here's the AMO page and here's the git repo page.
Currently i'm not using it so i can't really comment on it, but i am keeping an eye on it's development.
Wouldn't it be super handy if you could stick whatever you wanted on Firefox's New Tab page? That's exactly what Mark-It by Matt allows.
Mark-It turns your New Tab page into a text editor that supports markdown. I use it to store commonly used bookmarks, notes and bits of text that i often paste in forums and comments.
Mark-It is not super polished and it doesn't support all of the markdown syntax, but it is simple and it gets the job done.
Prior to Marl-It i was using Clippings until i realized that the developer is injecting quite a bit of CSS into every page you visit for no good reason. While Clippings has more features than Mark-It, i believe it could make the browser much easier to fingerprint and so it's a poor choice for anyone that cares about privacy. Besides, the fewer add-ons, the better.
This user-overrides.js, hosted on Codeberg, is an optional supplement to the 'arkenfox' user.js for Firefox which relaxes some preferences and adds several new ones. For more information see:
'icpantsparti2', slapped up a very nice GUI companion for the 'arkenfox' user.js which features searching and filtering. This should make working with the user.js a lot easier, especially for new users.
