If you are looking for privacy related tweaks you may check this website- Privacy tweaks.

& in case of security, you may vaguely install some popular add-ons. but tbh, you have to be much more active in that genre & even after that you won't be really secure. Every day is a new day, you may remain safe for a while but if you are a net surfer trust me you will come across malware/virus/adware/trojan.script. But obviously whether you will get infected or not depends upon how promptly you take d apt measures.

Nonetheless, happy surfing. Use your mind before pc you will be much safe if you have a working mind.

Many of those privacy tweaks are also available as extensions

which one you think much preferable? extra loads on browser or just tweak d browser what it's capable of.
Extensions give graphic presentation and also more features than browser tweaks

If your browser is crawling then use the browser tweaks otherwise use the extensions
