Advice Request Question about extensions to use with Adguard.

[jolt2]

I bought Adguard and want to know what extensions I can remove from Firefox web browser when I install Adguard program. I am looking at cutting down on overlap of these programs and extensions. Privacy and security are both important to me and I know that there are trade offs between the two. I will be using this on Windows10 with Bitdefender AV and I use a VPN too. What I have now for extensions are the following:

• Bitdefender Anti-tracker
• CanvasBlocker
• ClearURLs
• Cookie Auto Delete
• Decentraleyes
• HTTP Everywhere
• NoScripts
• UBlock Origin
• WebRTC Control
• Privacy Possum (disabled for now as it was not blocking much with the other extensions)

I am not sure if I am posting this in the proper section because my question is both about extensions and Adguard program working together. Also is the Adguard extension needed if the program is on my system?

Thank you for any advice and help with this!

Considering the huge amount of extensions you wonder about, for best help with your personal configuration/system I would suggest and recommend you start a thread here instead:

With Adguard for Windows I would only keep:

• CanvasBlocker
• Cookie Auto Delete

Add ClearURL's filter list to Adguard filters and you're done. The rest are not really needed.

Also I don't see the point of using NoScript these days (breaks too many websites) unless you use tor or you're a high value target.

FF has already an "HTTPS-only Mode" included. Just change the setting for it.

I retained ClearURLs and CookieAutoDelete. I also have ETP on strict in FF. Finally, I use the Adguard Browser Assistant for ease of use.

Hi. Can you kindly let me know how to do that? Thanks.

By the way, should I use Cookie Auto Delete, if I use CCleaner?

Cookie Auto Delete is a good extension I think, if you clean after every browser session or clear data on browser exit you may not need it though.
