My apology

On page 2 post #37 there's a small error

- ultrasonic tracking (not needed). If you need protection then you can use TunnelBear Blocker (Chrome)/Silver Dog (FF)

SilverDog is for Chrome NOT for FF. Anyway SilcerDog seems not available for now

Ah, what about the Tracking Stripper? Is there anything else for redirects?
Thanks for the heads up, @HarborFront

~LDogg
I'm not sure about Opera but Chrome, by default, is strong in redirects and the upcoming Chome browser 68 you can see Chrome reinforcing this

If you can set the flags in Opera you set

Framebusting requires same-origin or a user gesture => Enabled

This is the same for Chrome browser to block redirects.

On the contrary, FF Quantum don't have protection against redirects and that's why you need an extension

@HarborFront thanks for the insight!

Any other extensions for either FF Quantum or Chrome you've seen which is worth the install?

I have ChromeZero installed for my Ungoogled Chromium. Not sure it works in Opera.

You need to download from github and drag-and-drop to install

Add-on - Chrome Extension Protects Against JavaScript-Based CPU Side-Channel Attacks

For FF Quantum I'm now using CanvasBlocker and I disabled all canvas protection in Trace, ScrtptSafe etc because the latter all failed the anti-fingerprinting test

You can set the feature in TRACE so no need another Random User Agent extension in FF
I found the one in Trace when setting user agents to break pages. So I had it disabled. When disabled seemed to be ok, it was sending out really old user agents too. xD
