Example 1: What browser addons do you use to protect your privacy?

Staff
I switch frequently to try new things but the ones that stay the same for me (on Firefox 24) are:
Better Privacy
DoNotTrackMe
DuckDuckGo Plus
Anybody recommend others I haven't heard of? I'm pretty sure I've used all of them :P

Thank you all for the many comments, questions and suggestions. Particular thanks go to user x.15a2 for constantly monitoring, replying and helping so many users here. To continue these discussions, please head over to the DuckDuckGo subreddit.
just trying to see what order comments come out it in the new site [sorry for making a mess]. jack
I really like how the replies and comments work on the forums, much better design than with our previous host.
One (overly anal) observation: Both Comments and Replies are provided, but when users click on "Reply", the entry box says "Add Your Comment", may should be "Add your Reply" or "Enter your Reply".

I think a "comment" is actually the same as a reply.
The term "comment" is used when referring to the actual "comment/reply" itself. I.e. as a noun.
The term "reply" is used, when referring to the act of making a "comment/reply". I.e. as a verb.
Acording to the source code[1], well as far as I can understand, it is the exact same "box" (HTML code) they use for all "comment/reply" input fields.
[1] A quick search for "Add Your Comment" in the source code of this platform, over at GitHub, reveal that the phrase only appears once.

I'm a big fan of user agent switchers. They're great for protecting your privacy, and for debugging. (Chrome, Firefox)

Me too! : ) You may want to check this alternative UA switcher for Firefox, which works on a site-per-site basis. : ) Link: UAControl

I especially like these:
[ul]
[li]Google/Yandex search link fix
It's long name , I know; but it is a huge help in protecting your privacy, when using Google.
TL;DR: I make Google not capable of seeing which (Google) search results you click.[/li]
[li]RefControl
It makes Firefox block and/or alter the referrer send to websites each time you visit them.[/li]
[li]Xmarks
I love this one! It's a browser add-on, working cross-browser/platform, that syncs your browsers bookmarks, between all of your devices. It's a must-have, if you're using more than one computer.[/li]
Could we make it easy to see what BBCode is allowed, and what i not? : )
Which displays as:
BTW, I wasn't able to find a way of editing my post. Is this a bug?
If not, why not allow people to edit their comments? I mean, after all, you do have a CAPTCHA on the Sign up-page. : )
