Can someone advice how to add this filter to Iron?
In firefox it is simple- install their jondofox

Very many thanks.

I understand the purpose of those links, but they are too paranoid.
I have "bad" on Third Party Cookies, but I need to leave it activated for some sites that need them. It doesn't even note that I have it to "Delete Third Party Cookies" after Pale Moon closes.
HTTP session Unlimited means that I can get a virus from not doing anything? Maybe if I am lingering on a malicious site and idling on it, not from just having the session on. How about collecting my data, only if I was idling or using Google's sites.
User Agent? C'mon! You wouldn't want to show-off what browser you are using? Geez!
Flash cookies being on is bad? Ghostery automatically deletes them as I close the browser, it doesn't note that though.
Fonts I have? I don't know where that's an issue, it's simply fonts.
Everything else is medium and green.
