[QUOTE="Moonhorse, post: 763153, member: 72712"] Hard to say, its up to user. I can bloat my chrome with many extensions without having performance issues and i kinda find these extensions as must have: - netcraft ( phishing protection better than most avs) - Malwarebytes ( against pups, malware, scams) disable ad / tracking protection - antivirus do web filtering again everything - Neustar dns is just extra layer of defense + faster browsing than isp on most cases But like having avast web protection + malwarebytes extension is example of useless stacking After all youre fine with adblocker + medium mode of ublock + password manager as example is more than enough these days. You never will type password manually in this case, and blocking all 3rd party scripts throught ublock you wont run into any problems, this is just common sense but still there are people not advanced to do this kind of easy stuff On firefox i dont like to stack all these extensions because of ram usage, and just go with adblocker and let firefox do rest I think open social media accounts, that aint private is bigger problem this day. Past weekend i have read alot of cases of so called doxing, like gathering personal info throught social media accounts and using that info to recover/brute force other accounts, emails as example...wich can lead into huge problems.
