- 05:0505:05, 21 October 2020 diff hist +58 Firefox/Privacy →Watch videos over Invidious: Thanks for the feedback. Agree. Used (more) the talking points from the github README. Improved brevity. Added an extra list of mirrors. Added note that some instances may be hosted by Cloudflare. Added note about Invidious not indexing Facebook and Cloudflare services.
20 October 2020
- 14:2914:29, 20 October 2020 diff hist −5 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: RENAMED the title of this one month old section to more closely match the new article below it.
- 14:2614:26, 20 October 2020 diff hist +1,798 Firefox/Privacy ADDED NEW SECTION →Proxying your web searches: as discussed in Talk page, also added a point about using Tor for privacy in the Searx instance section
- 11:1911:19, 20 October 2020 diff hist +64 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: Various improvements in copy to make it easier to read.

- 10:3710:37, 20 October 2020 diff hist +21 Pi-hole →FTL: Added the non-abbreviated version of the acronym (and started the copy with the acronym)
16 September 2020
- 17:2717:27, 16 September 2020 diff hist +692 Talk:Domain name resolution →Implement DoT with stunnel on any server: Another point to consider.
- 16:3416:34, 16 September 2020 diff hist +6 Firefox/Privacy Re-added capitals to the specific services that require capitals, even in sentence case (thanks for pointing the style out to me).
3 September 2020
- 18:4718:47, 3 September 2020 diff hist −10 Firefox/Privacy →Editing the contents of omni.ja: Moved Mozilla attribution to the end of sentence. Removed '!'
- 18:4018:40, 3 September 2020 diff hist +272 Firefox/Privacy →Editing the contents of omni.ja: As promised, added the repacking command (and pitfall) from the Mozilla page.
- 18:1418:14, 3 September 2020 diff hist +7 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: Re-added "public", woops.
- 18:1118:11, 3 September 2020 diff hist +170 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: Provided an extra list that seems useful.
- 17:3617:36, 3 September 2020 diff hist +47 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: 'n' => '(n)' for clarity. Removed the word 'node' as it relates to Searx instances because most call them 'instances'. Also introduce them as "sites" in the introductory paragraph so the concept is easier for the reader to grasp.
- 00:2500:25, 3 September 2020 diff hist +112 Browser extensions →Advanced control: Edited the warning so its more accurate, and precise in terms of the instructions also.
2 September 2020
- 23:3123:31, 2 September 2020 diff hist +1,735 Talk:Firefox/Privacy →Proxying: DISCUSSION ADDED (includes Invidious)
- 23:2423:24, 2 September 2020 diff hist +89 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: Some slight rearrangement to of sentenced to improve understanding.
- 21:2521:25, 2 September 2020 diff hist +1,124 Firefox/Privacy →Proxying your web searches: ADDED whole new section on using proxies for search. I think its a great way to improve privacy (and empower smaller businesses an network operators at the same time!) There's a case for adding Invidious proxies to this page for video also and Ill add this to talk page..
- 17:4517:45, 2 September 2020 diff hist −37 Firefox/Privacy →Extensions: Removed opening link Browser extensions#Privacy because I've added a link to it in the === Disable WebAssembly (and JavaScript) === section. There is also a link to this page in the 'Related articles' section at the top of the page.
- 17:2617:26, 2 September 2020 diff hist +251 Browser extensions →NoScript: added an important note about NoScripts default settings in relation to privacy.
- 16:3016:30, 2 September 2020 diff hist 0 Firefox/Privacy →MOVED SECTION: I moved the Extensions section above the Enterprise Policies section. For two reasons: a) its more important to disable JavaScript and Wasm than whether Mozilla can inform us about updates, b) in attempting to follow the Enterprise Policies instructions it seems that they are outdated. Also location of policies.json is not specified, which may frustrate users. Will update this section, if not beaten to the punch.
- 16:0916:09, 2 September 2020 diff hist +24 Firefox/Privacy →Editing the contents of omni.ja: Aside from *using* a DNS sinkhole(...) one *solution* (not resolution) is to *(added man page link to) grep* through the *extracted* contents of (...) . Can someone please check over this section? "What are "hyphenation files"? I feel like it needs to be less ambiguous(?). Also the {{ic|"");}} looks weird, is it correct? I will add the repacking instructions to this section so people don't need to go to the Mozilla page to understand how to repack.
- 15:0615:06, 2 September 2020 diff hist −14 Firefox/Privacy →Configuration: removed redundant word
- 15:0515:05, 2 September 2020 diff hist +3 Firefox/Privacy →Edit the contents of omni.ja: Revert heading change
- 15:0415:04, 2 September 2020 diff hist −13 Firefox/Privacy →Editing the contents of omni.ja: Making it clear that the user can simply click this link to learn about the file *type*, not only about the file itself.
- 14:4914:49, 2 September 2020 diff hist +290 Firefox/Privacy →Remove system-wide hidden extensions: Good to know, Blackteahamburger. I've decided to add a note that this section might not be as useful today as it was previously to save people time (I could be wrong so remove my note if you wish to draw sharp focus to anything in particular!). I've listed a couple extra extensions. Moved info for finding all/more extenstions as the final dot point. Added "Also known as 'features'". Made "Note" in paragraph bold.
- 01:0501:05, 2 September 2020 diff hist +157 Talk:Firefox/Privacy →Flash?: is now disabled. Case closed :D
- 00:5800:58, 2 September 2020 diff hist +440 Talk:Firefox/Privacy →Remove the hidden extensions section?: ??????
- 00:5000:50, 2 September 2020 diff hist +5 Talk:Firefox/Privacy →First-Party Isolation: Added Qs about cookies for consideration
- 00:3800:38, 2 September 2020 diff hist +951 Talk:Firefox/Privacy →First-Party Isolation: Added a Q about stopping third-party cookies.
1 September 2020
- 23:5223:52, 1 September 2020 diff hist −37 Firefox/Privacy →Remove system-wide hidden extensions: Removed the screen shot one because I didn't write a description for it.
- 23:5023:50, 1 September 2020 diff hist +180 Firefox/Privacy →Remove system-wide hidden extensions: Replaced a depricated extension with the DoH Rollout one, added the screenshot extension and added a note that the other three are deprecated and only kept on page for those who have not updated.
- 23:1923:19, 1 September 2020 diff hist +48 Firefox/Privacy →Disable WebAssembly: Added "(and JavaScript)" to heading. Made first paragraph more informative, while omitting less useful parts. "Like" => "as with" JavaScript. "you" => "users" in "used to track you" Made second paragraph more explicit and helpful with no parentheses to reduce confusion.
- 04:1204:12, 1 September 2020 diff hist +5 Firefox/Privacy →Disable WebAssembly: final vagrant fixes, to both paragraphs. (Javescript => Javasc...)
- 03:5303:53, 1 September 2020 diff hist +23 Browser extensions →Privacy: Added wikipedia link to NoScript a) to match other content, and b) so I have an anchor point to link to from another page
- 03:3303:33, 1 September 2020 diff hist −9 Firefox/Privacy →Disable WebAssembly: "normally" => "typically". Also improved the 2nd paragraph so its more readable and follows established way to mention Tor. Added "to" between the variable names and the desired values.
- 03:1903:19, 1 September 2020 diff hist +800 Firefox/Privacy →Extensions: Added a section about how to Disable WebAssembly and why.
28 August 2020
- 10:5510:55, 28 August 2020 diff hist +9 Firefox/Privacy →Disable Connection Tests: Move the links to a single area for easier reading. Changed "every minute" to "at regular intervals", which is more correct based on the explanation of the algorithm I have linked to. Thanks Archaid and that should be all from me for now, on this topic.
- 10:4710:47, 28 August 2020 diff hist +27 Firefox/Privacy →Disable Connection Tests: Anchor the reader to the exact part of the page where the Firefox developer talks about the algorithm.
- 10:2610:26, 28 August 2020 diff hist +155 Firefox/Privacy →Disable Connection Tests: Added three references. One Wikipedia and two Mozilla. Unfortunately there seems to be no explicit documentation on the Captive Portal Service so I've used Firefog Bug Reports to evidence the behaviors. If a better resource becomes available then you may opt to use that in place of one or both of the "bug report" links.

24 August 2020
- 17:2017:20, 24 August 2020 diff hist +735 Firefox/Privacy →Added: A problem that I discovered while running a packet sniffer and loading Firefox. On startup in order to get the IP address of firefox.com, it seems that mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com is used, despite setting other DNS servers as per another section. This suggests that the cloudflare-dns.com is hard-coded into this feature.
