Firefox

This problem was bugging me for quite a while and today I finally decided to address it. There are lot of advices online to try to run Firefox in safe mode and see if that fixes the problem, so I tried that first but it didn’t help. Safe mode actually just turns off extensions, but in my case it didn’t help. I found out that the easiest way to reproduce the problem was to run YouTube video in one window and after that open another window with eBay....

I had a problem recently not being able to set Google as default search engine in Firefox of my Linux Mint installation. It is not that I like Google that much, it is actually opposite, but DuckDuckGo as default search engine doesn’t give me the satisfying search so it seems it is not possible to skip Google tracking and keep your privacy, at least not at this moment. If you had such problem, this is because Google search engine doesn’t fund Linux Mint and this is why they are not on the list....
