[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 918630, member: 82776"] Nope I usually post bad ideas :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: a) Extensioner - only enables and disables them, does not change them b) Policy control is for enhanced security, blocking risky third-party stuff ScriptSafe, uMatric, Noscript's and uBO's medium mode are great enhancements, only to much of a hassle to use all the time, that is why you can enable them ON-DEMAND (and Policy Control is using a different mechanism which makes its medium mode stronger than uBo's). c) Trace is for privacy and anti-fingerprinting. Let me explain again with some real life examples (for my brother that is :) ) [SPOILER="No you see me - extra SHIELDS are ON (green)"] [/SPOILER] CLICK ON THE MENU DROP DOWN (which is green now to indicate protection is ON) [SPOILER="Now you don't - extra SHIELDS are OFF (red)"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1607863577456.png"]250949[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Icons of Polciy Control and Trace have disappeared and clicking on Extensioner-icon shows a red drop down menu indicating protection is OFF [/QUOTE]
