Apple and a couple other providers have been experimenting with a multi-hop system of making your connections private.

Here’s what Cloudflare says.

Here’s what a competitor, Invisiv, says.

Your data takes a path like this

The obvious issues here:

• Do you trust the people providing the multi-hop VPN-like service?
• Do you trust the two servers, which have necessarily entered into an agreement of some sort, to not collaborate regarding transmitting data?
• How easy is it to audit the code we can see?

In the case of Apple/Cloudflare, reputation is rather poor. From PRISM to false advertising to notification telemetry, Apple hasn’t exactly delivered on their promise. In terms of Invisiv, the company has some big names on board but Fastly and Cloudflare both have a rather significant grip on the internet (with Cloudflare’s being bigger) but any CDN gets a good view into personal data most of the time.

But on the bright side: a VPN has far more issues than either of these, as it’s basically #4 above except the same service also has your identity by necessity. An untrustworthy VPN is as harmful as an untrustworthy ISP, with very little separating them.

I’m not able to copy/past my changes from my phone’s about:config but here is a great tutorial and most of the parameters I changed:

wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox/Privacy

Keep in mind that to use about:config on mobile phone you have to use the beta, dev or nightly version of firefox.

Also this could and will break some sites, I don’t know how much you want to harden your firefox but here are the addons I use with Firefox:

• Decentraleyes
• Chameleon
• NoScript
• Privacy Badger
• Ublock origin

They all work on mobile and desktop.
