Change site.ipfs & site.ipns into site.ipfsGateway 
This was a lot easier than I thought as I didn't realize I had only used
it in one place (according to GitHub search) before #137.

Fixes: #138

* [Ecosia search engine at Mycroft Project](https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=ecosia.org)
## Firefox containers
* [Facebook Container](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/)
* [Google Container](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-container/)
* [Firefox Multi-Account Containers](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/)
* [Temporary containers](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/)
* Especially in Automatic mode it renders Cookie Autodelete unnecessary
in my opinion and is likely more secure.
* **READ THE FINE MANUAL ON THAT PAGE!**
## Firefox language packs
* [Czech](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/czech-cz-language-pack/)
* [English-US](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/english-us-language-pack/)
* [Esperanto](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/esperanto-language-pack/)
* [Finnish](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/finnish-language-pack/)
## Firefox about:config
* `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `1.25` or `2.0` on macOS Retina to increase font size.
* `privacy.resistFingerprinting` = `true` multiple effects to make your
browser appear less unique, the ones I have found/understood:
* warns if `intl.accept_languages` is not `en-US, en` .
* starts the browser with common size (I love this on big displays).
* spoofs the user-agent as the latest Firefox ESR version.
* `privacy.trackingprotection.cryptomining.enabled` = `true` so cryptomining
on some websites gets blocked and won't waste resources.
* `privacy.trackingprotection.fingerprinting.enabled` = `true` I am not
entirely sure what this does, but as I already recommend
`privacy.resistFingerprinting`, why not?
* `intl.accept_languages` to `en-US, en`
* see above.
* `extensions.pocket.enabled` to `false` so the Pocket integration goes away
* On Linux `widget.content.gtk-theme-override` (a string that has to be created by
user) to `Adwaita:light` so text boxes in dark themes become readable,
thank you [Dovydas Venckus](https://www.dovydasvenckus.com/linux/2018/08/20/fix-firefox-dark-input-fields-on-gnome/)
* [Bug 70315: text in menus and boxes unreadable if using dark GTK theme](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70315)
* `network.security.esni.enabled` to `true` in order to enable encrypted SNI.
* Requires DoH, see the next section!
#### DNS over HTTPS
* `network.trr.bootstrapAddress` DNS server to use for resolving the DoH
name, e.g. `84.200.70.40` (Resolver 2 of [DNS.watch](https://dns.watch/)
in Germany) or `149.112.112.112` (Resolver 2 of [Quad9](https://quad9.net))
* `network.trr.mode` 2 to prefer DoH, but fallback to system resolver (or 3 to enforce DoH without fallback)
* [DoH is required by Firefox ESNI support](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500289) which encrypts SNI which would still leak which
sites you visit. [Another bug about ESNI + Android DoT](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1542754#c3)
* I have ended up to recommending 2 as otherwise the DoH server going
down stops DNS from working on your Firefox entirely, which may be
more of a problem than unencrypted SNI as not everyone supports it.
* `network.trr.early-AAAA` `true` to hopefully prefer IPv6
* `network.trr.uri` for the actual resolver address, e.g.
`https://mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query` or `https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query` or
[check curl wiki](https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS#publicly-available-servers)
Some notes:
* You can confirm TRR working by visiting `about:networking#dns` where
you should be seeing DNS cache of Firefox and a lot of `TRR: true`.
* Quad9 became my preferred resolver through anxiety about other options
being small (and possibly more likely to go down) or commercial while
Quad9 is non-profit organization and 2019-03-20 apparently the default
fallback resolver of dnscrypt-proxy (at least in Debian).
* Quad9 while having filtering of malicious domains should be easy to figure
out as the problem if something doesn't work on my computers as due to the
previously mentioned bug I am mainly using it on Firefox.
## Passwords
* [Firefox: Bitwarden](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitwarden-password-manager/)
* [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bitwarden-free-password-m/nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb)
## Privacy
* [Firefox: Cookie Autodelete](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/)
* [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-autodelete/fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh)
* [Firefox: HTTPS Everywhere](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/)

* [Chrome HTTPS Everywhere fix page](https://decentraleyes.org/configure-https-everywhere/)
* [Firefox: Google search link fix](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-link-fix/)
* Copied from [PrivacyTools.io](https://privacytools.io), cleans Google
results links.
* [Firefox: True Sight](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/detect-cloudflare-plus/)
* This is a CDN detector and it being a privacy extension can be debated
but I just feel like putting it here. I will still say that not all
CDNs are bad (IPFS).
### Tor
* [Firefox: Privacy Pass](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-pass/)
* [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-pass/ajhmfdgkijocedmfjonnpjfojldioehi)
* May reduce captchas with CloudFlare.
* [Firefox: Healthy.Onion](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/healthy-onion/)
* **Only for Tor Browser** or other browser going through Tor all the
time as it redirects clearnet addresses to Tor .onion hidden
services that cannot be accessed outside of Tor.
## Productivity
* [Firefox: Mind The Time](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mind-the-time/)
* [Chrome equivalent: Webtime tracker](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webtime-tracker/ppaojnbmmaigjmlpjaldnkgnklhicppk)

* doesn't sync automatically with Firefox Sync.
* [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipfs-companion/nibjojkomfdiaoajekhjakgkdhaomnch)
* At the time of writing, 2018-09-22, I consider IPFS as
**incompatible with Tor Browser** as Tor browser would use the local
IPFS daemon, which **is not using Tor** and thus the IPFS network
**could see your real IP** especially if not many nodes are
requesting the fetched content.
* [Firefox: Foxy Proxy](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/)
* [Chrome?](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/foxyproxy-standard/gcknhkkoolaabfmlnjonogaaifnjlfnp)

* [Firefox: Tab Counter](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-counter-webext/)
* [Firefox: Lightbeam](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightbeam/)
* I especially like *nicer dark* with Memrise.
