QOL trade-off
1
privacy
Uses DDG instead of Google as a search engine; blocks trackers and certain ads
duckduckgo for firefox
🟠 Minimal (Browsing is almost unchanged)
2
security
Don’t reuse the same pass twice thanks to this, keep secrets too.
Make sure to also use 2FA (using an app, not SMS!).
bitwarden password manager
🔴 Medium (Browsing requires some manual adjustments)
3
security
A security powerhouse, allowing you to see with a high degree of granularity what a page is loading, what trackers are available, and allow specific things either manually, or with complex rules.
Breaks half the web by default, you will spend the first month wasting time setting it up slowly and painstakingly for the sites you use.

tree-style tabs

If you like directories, add a bookmarklet that creates them:

🟢 None (Browsing is normal)
9
containers
Can create temporary containers (like incognito tabs inside your browsing session) either on command, or depending on some rules, or for every tab.
If you set it to automatic, there may be some minor convenience trade-off as the temporary containers will be listed in your container list for a minute or two (they don’t get deleted automatically in case you close a tab by mistake and want to re-open it)
If you use it manually, there’s no quality of life trade-off

Breaks with google docs, makes it so you cannot print to file.
