[QUOTE="South Park, post: 879760, member: 73194"] I've tried various blocking add-ons over the years but stopped using most of them. Using canvas blockers made it hard to log into my e-mail or bank accounts, and user agent switchers often caused websites to malfunction or served me mobile sites on desktop. Even the built-in tracking protection in Firefox often interferes with websites that display charts or graphs, so I usually disable it. I find that using uBO with Fanboy's enhanced tracking list (or AdGuard extension with its own privacy list) usually doesn't break anything, and I can troubleshoot any problems that are caused. These lists block the widely known fingerprinting scripts but are not so unusual as to attract more attention. I don't think perfect privacy is possible. (Using TOR on my current network would definitely attract attention.) I just aim for "reasonable" privacy without destroying usability. [/QUOTE]
