[QUOTE="absolute beginner, post: 907649, member: 89197"] Hello, not really sure to be at the right place to ask my question but this post was one of the start of point Well, at the very beginning, I was just searching for an adblocker to improve performance in loading pages. Then, I've learned about tracking, Etag, lot of thing I've never heard before and then discovered MT, a gold mine. I've read integrally all theses topics, amongst many others : [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/updated-29-12-2018-browser-extension-comparison-malwares-and-phishings.80915/page-73"]Q&A - [Updated 29/12/2018] Browser extension comparison: Malwares and Phishings[/URL] [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/ublock-origin-nano-adblocker-user-tips-questions-and-issues-thread.92247/page-16"]Browser Add-on - uBlock Origin/Nano Adblocker - User Tips, Questions and Issues Thread[/URL] [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/adblocking-innovation.98862/post-864506"]Adblocking innovation[/URL] [URL="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-Benefits-of-blocking-3rd-party-iframe-tags"]gorhill/uBlock[/URL] In fact, so much knowledge got me more confused and i'm not really satisfied with the result. Ok, i've gained privacy but decreased performance and I've got the feeling to spend my time to unbreak websites. That's why your approach with just one list paid my attention (but if I've understood some things, this doesn't protect from tracking, just ads) My setup is : W10- DNs 1.1.1.1 Opera (Ads and tracking blockers disabled + malware protection Enabled) Extensions : - U blockOrigin (medium mode) with "ublock-badware", "ublock-privacy", "ublock-abuse", "ublock-unbreak", "adguard-generic", "easylist", "easyprivacy", "fanboy-enhanced", "fanboy-annoyance", "plowe-0", "FRA-0", "[URL]https://hostfiles.frogeye.fr/firstparty-only-trackers-hosts.txt[/URL]", "[URL]https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/antiadblockfilters.txt[/URL]", "[URL]https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/abp/[/URL]", "[URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/master/nocoin.txt[/URL]", "[URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liamja/Prebake/master/obtrusive.txt[/URL]", "[URL]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kees1958/WS3_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist/master/Top500[/URL]" - Privacy Possum - DecentralEyes - MalwarebytesBrowserGuard (double protection) FireFox Same extensions but Ublock in easy mode because I need and install and forget approach for this brower (used for my wife) I feel more concerned about tracking aspect than ads aspect so I'm planned to retrograd Ublock to Easy enhanced mode. Do you think this would be more relevant or just using Opera with blockers enabled would be better? Or a mix of both? And a general question : why nobody talks about extensions (except gandalf one time) like cache clearer, cache killer, etc...Are these things completey useless? Sorry for this looong post. [/QUOTE]
