Software for Privacy
Privacy-enhancing software I trust / recommend. Browsers and their extensions, email providers, VPN services, note-taking apps, passwords managers, backup, sync and encryption software - to name just a few.
The Complete Suite of Programs Needed After New Windows Installation [V2.0: Advanced]
After a fresh Windows installation, new users might get frustrated by the weakness of the default Microsoft apps. So, in this list I'm going to cover applications that will enhance the user experience for everyday tasks. And for that, I only picked programs that meet these criteria:
• Should be free (not commercial), safe and preferably open-source.
• Should be an offline native desktop app/client.
• Does not require advanced technical knowledge.
Thus, the list is tailored to non tech-savvy home users, however, a section for people who are into computer programming and IT will be also added, which includes basic and commonly-used development and coding tools.
My privacy / security tools
In recent years advertising companies started to tracks you everywhere on the web (and even in the "real life") spying you, constantly wanting to know what you are doing, when, where, why and even with who.
So I decided to change my "internet lifestyle" in order not to be tracked anymore. I want to keep my private datas for myself even though I have nothing to hide really. But thinking that major companies are selling my everyday life really bother me.
Then if you want to avoid as much as possible beign tracked here are the tools I use daily.
I'll also include some softwares/apps which are not especially privacy focused but security focused.
And forgive me if I do mistakes, english isn't my mother tongue ;)

Comments and Reviews
Starting with Firefox 83, Mozilla will roll out HTTPS_Only mode inside the Preferences configuration. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/83.0/releasenotes/ I used this extension for many years, it was a great when few sites of the web used HTTPS. Thanks to Let's Encrypt funded by the EFF, Mozilla and many others, HTTP websites are now the exception. Therefore, this extension is not needed anymore.
Still good but redundant if you use Firefox which includes since version 76 in about:config, an HTTPS-only mode, "dom.security.https_only_mode" and which allows you since version 78 to continue to be able to visit the site in HTTP if you really need it.
Anyone know of a way to force Safari on Mac OS X to request HTTPS?
Someone has an alpha port of EFF's HTTPS-Everywhere for Internet Explorer on Windows, available here:

I just installed it recently, and can't vouch much for how well it works. It did booger a few sites, by requesting CSS files on separate servers that would not provide the files via HTTPS, but mostly it seems to work okay, so far.
KILLS FIRE SHEEP !! This is the one recommended on TWIT Network with Leo Laporte and Security Now podcast. They are the experts. If you don't know about Fire Sheep it lets people steal your log in on Facebook and many other sites, major security issue This little add on forces sites to keep you on secure connection instead of the usual secure log in then unsecure from there
