Extensions give graphic presentation and also more features than browser tweaks

Browser tweak may b considered as CLI & extension as GUI. Both UI workable. I don't know anyone who will stress browser for d same thing which can be achieved without stressing d browser.

… uBlock Origin is a solid content blocker with very good memory management. It's dependent on the quality of lists used. It's the only extension I use on Edge, but again, I'm not focused on privacy.

Have you tried Nano Adblocker on Edge? Trying it now and may replace uBO. Like yourself, my only Edge add-on.

Hello! I'm using the followings:

1) Canvas Blocker
2) Canvas Defender
3) HTTPS Everywhere
4) Trace
5) Privacy Badger
6) uBlock Origin
7) Cookie AutoDelete

My question is: Am I using any duplicate extensions? Could I remove some without diminishing my privacy?

Thanks!

Actually, Privacy Badger is about blocking cookies. If you set in 'Privacy & Security' to 'Block cookies and site data' but make exceptions (e.g. for forums, emails etc) then there's no need of Privacy Badger since there's no cookies to block. And your Cookie AutoDelete also don't work.

If you want your Cookie AutoDelete to work then you must accept cookies

You choose one way.

Too many extensions for my taste.
I just use Adguard or UBO.
For more privacy i am using some other simple methods methods not more extensions to slow down my browsing.
