The standalone 1password is pretty solid too, but that costs money, isn't well-supported (though the company has good support in general), and I'm not even sure they sell it any longer with the subscription stuff they are pushing now. On the plus side, I did read something saying their next major version will go back to supporting standalone vaults if that interests you. Ok good, because that's what I've been using and I'd rather not have to redo EVERYTHING again.

For example, on fido.ca I cannot login using firefox (on linux, never tried in windows). It happened to me to not be able to use some websites due to addons so I disabled my adblockers and everything. No can do sonny (basically the login dialog doesn't do anything after i press "Login". Nothing in the console either). Chrome works. Are they just lovely developers? Of course they are. They took a perfectly functional website and upgraded it to the latest and greatest technologies of 2015 and now is broken. And even poor chrome struggles with it But, what can you do? It's not like I have many cell companies /plans to choose from so ... yeah.

Not sure what you mean by that. I still can't log in with FF even though my password is now set and I can log in normally on Chrome and my tablet browser.  I guess it's not a huge deal, I'll just use chrome when I need to go to the website, just a pain in the rear end... especially since it used to work.

Have you tried in a private browsing window? It's possible you have some old cookies/cache that are breaking things.

slidebite posted:Not sure what you mean by that. I still can't log in with FF even though my password is now set and I can log in normally on Chrome and my tablet browser. Password is hunter2. One time pad is skdmjfksdfnvk. Your password gets scrambled as you enter it to something like jsrgnrx. The form submits jsrgnrx to the server which descrambles it against the OTP, validates hunter2, and logs you in. Your Firefox might be submitting hunter2 to the server which descrambles it against the OTP and gets rubbish which doesn't match your password. Even if you do have the Javascript enabled, this is also what causes Firefox not to be able to save the password. Or it is just bad web devs.

The Advanced User mode basically has all the important NoScript functionality. EDIT: LastPass you can safely pass on, it's hilarious garbage.

AFAIK this is a decent option if you don't care about passwords outside web pages being in your vault and also set a decent password for it. I use KeepAss + KeeFox and it seems to work well enough, but I have autofill disabled and have to choose specific user/pass combinations from a dropdown when selecting logins.

Might as well throw in my method, I guess: I use 1Password on mobile. I don't own the PC version at all because I'm cheap, I didn't buy it before the subscription bullshit and I won't buy it now. I let 1PW generate passwords: at least 12 characters, mixed case, and throw in some numbers and a symbol in there too. I throw 2FA on everything I can, I use the strongest password I can remember for my mail, and a couple other unique passwords for services that I use frequently that have 2FA. The downside is if you see me entering a password I'm squinting at my phone and slowly pecking in a bullshit string of mixed case letters with some numbers and symbols. Fortunately, I rarely make contact with other human beings and a PC at the same time so this is never a problem. I use Firefox's password manager to save most of these, and admit I don't put a master password on that, too. That's because I'm not as scared about people using my machine as I am scared of the hosts of the various forums, fly-by-night startups, and other sites that demand I set up an account having a data breach. My old way was to have a bunch of memorized phrases of different severity with numbers of different severity after them, but something like the Cloudflare leak this year would have destroyed that system.

Firefox is acting weird - dropped noscript and switched just to ublock origin in medium mode. However, now at random times, tabs just blank out and I have to reload them. I was listening to streaming music via youtube and it just stopped. I guess certain tabs are crashing? I also have to quit out firefox if I want to play a video game. Otherwise the game just crashes.

Does anyone have any issues where they leave a post in the preview window for a while and when you hit post it fails to post (the browser just constantly tries to submit and eventually nothing happens)? Trying to figure out if it's a problem with the internet at my house, the forums themselves or Firefox.

Is that possibly due to the fact that firefox is doing a lot of work on the GPU now? Not had this issue myself, but I'm on an Optimus setup. Disabling hardware acceleration might fix it?

Should I use the built-in tracking protection vs an add-on like Privacy Badger? On that note, is there any good literature about the differences between different tracking protection choices? It seems like there are a ton of options and they all seem to do (or claim to do) the same thing.

Also to expand on why you should just install uBlock Origin in general: a lot of the various "privacy" based extensions tended to be based around blocking out one little aspect of tracking or whatever, and many of the developers didn't want to really interfere with ads directly for a number of reasons. Over time most of those extensions expanded to cover nearly every thing each other one did, and uBlock Origin also covers that territory while blocking ads (if you want of course) so it obsoletes them.

Tracking protection is an about :config setting and pretty much all it does is use Disconnect's block list that you can also use in adblockers, and if months from now it breaks something you won't even remember to turn it off, while uBO's icon is always right there on your toolbar. As for why uBO and not ABP or whatever: - no acceptable ads bollocks - compatible with ABP filter syntax, what ABP can do uBO also can and more - much lower on resources - easy to use advanced mode that gives access to uMatrix-like functionality and targeted fixing of broken sites using the logger witout having to turn off blocking entirely for the site Privacy Badger is the odd one out because it doesn't use pre-compiled filter lists, it monitors browsing history and automatically creates a profile of tracking sites based on it. In practice I found it meant that images would regularly break because image hosts were seen across many sites and started being blocked. If you want that kind of proactive defense, I find default-deny mode in uBO/uMatrix to be more predictable.
