Default How to Run a More Secure Browser

Some weeks ago I found this article on the DragonFlyBSD website: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/ha...SecureBrowser/

What do you think about this approach? Did you do something similar?

I actually have that article saved on my harddrive for future implementation. I wanted to test it, in order to see how involved the whole process is. That being said it's not my highest priority.

Also, I'm mainly a Firefox user. Not because I like it, but because I consider it the lesser of two evils. Besides adblocking everything as much as I can, I also surf with JavaScript disabled by default(!) through uBlock Origin. Enabling JS for a page when really necessary is a quick two-click process. Blocked JS-Scripts are indicated by a pink counter on the uBlock icon. Lately I've also started to use Firefox containers.
