[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 725353, member: 51905"] I think all of these extensions are collecting our data to improve their service and detection rate. That's understandable. We can use the one we can opt-out, such as norton and avira the best tool, IMO, to protect our privacy while surfing is ublock origin with custom filters (use steven black's hosts and some other tracking filters) you can also enable third-party scripts or frame blocking or third party in general using ublock I found ublock is the most effective and it blocks the most trackers because we can add as many block rules as we want while other extensions like disconnect, ghostery or stealth mode (from adguard) are hit-and-miss and some have privacy issue EDIT: I saw you use privacy badger. In my time using it, I found it unhelpful. It didn't block trackers but cookies. However, it's very very weak and barely block anything. It used a lot of CPU too, which I really disliked in my test, my ublock blocked 48 ads/trackers while privacy badger blocked 0 or 2 if we manually set the sliders [ATTACH]185681[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
