Advice Request What are your top 5 Privacy Extensions for your browser?

[Kongo]

Well, at the moment I'm trying to make my browsing as private as possible. That's actually pretty hard as I'm using Chrome . Still I'd like to know what you guys use to make ur browsing more private. It doesn't have to necessarily be an extension.. Looking forward for your answers!

 

[CyberTech]

uBlock Origin
Privacy Possum/Badger
Decentraleyes
HTTPS Everywhere
Netcraft

 

[stefanos]

AdGuard, and Bitdefender traficlight . I not need more extensions

 

[bribon77]

WebRTC Network Limiter
Auto History Wipe
Privacy Possum
uBlock Origin

[oldschool]

I use chrome://flags and:

• µBlock Origin
• ClearURLs
• Emsisoft Browser Security
• Adguard DNS

I like Privacy Possum but not using it now.

Auto History Wipe
Privacy Possum

I also wanted to use Auto History Wipe, but the last update on chrome was 2015. Does it still work?

uBlock Origin

Decentraleyes
HTTPS Everywhere
Netcraft

So you use Privacy Badger and and Privacy Possum?

 

[Arequire]

• A VPN to hide your IP address
• NextDNS to block third-party trackers disguising themselves as first-party
• AdGuard to block known ads/trackers, and enabled Stealth Mode to block X-Client header, strip tracking elements from URLs, and hide your HTTP referer header from third-parties
• Privacy Badger to block newly deployed third-party trackers that haven't been added to AdGuard's blocklists
• HTTPS Everywhere to stop cached HSTS headers being used as a tracking method

Each one I picked to protect against different tracking methods.
(I don't use all this. It's just what I would use if I wanted my browsing activity to be as private as possible from corporate entities.)

Similar to my setup, except that i also use "Decentraleyes". What do you think about it?

You can try LocalCDN in place of Decentraleyes.

You can try LocalCDN in place of Decentraleyes.

So you are saying that it's more effective?

Both are useless.

My extensions:
AdGuard
(yes only that one)

 

[blackice]

Right now

Built-in Tracking Protection (Firefox, Edge Chromium) (I know these aren't extensions so they don't count)
Privacy Badger (Chrome)
uBlock Origin
AdGuard (I switch between this and uBo, but currently using uBo)

I really love those argument-based opinions. Why don't you try too?

Pointless. Your IP address is hidden from the CDN by the VPN, and AdGuard's stripping the referer (and thus the site you're browsing) from its requests. The only thing it could do is fingerprint you, but fingerprinting is apparently not particularly prevalent and almost impossible to deal with so I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks a lot for the explanation

Quite a few about:config modification on Firefox, some flags on Chromium Edge.

1. uBlock Origin (Medium mode)
2. ClearURLs
3. Cookie Autodelete

Not an extension but also using Adguard DNS.

I have been using it for a long time, but I have doubts about this application.

Maybe better try the Adguard VPN Beta. You can choose Adguard DNS too and at least disable it, when it causes problems on some websites.

well, I'll pass i guess. Extensions that aren't updated for 2+ years are not really attractive for me...
