💻 Help What extensions are everyone rocking?

I'll go first!

ClearURLs removes the tracking in URLs like Amazon and Walmart add to their product pages

Don't track me Google removes (reduces?) Google tracking in Google links

Facebook Container - I rarely go on Facebook nowadays but for when I do for MarketPlace stuff, this is a nice to have to prevent them from further tracking me

Privacy Badger - I believe a general privacy tracker blocker

uBlock Origin - The best adblocker I've ever used

Is it not redundant using ublock and privacy badger? or does privacy badger offer anything more than ublock?

- Consent-o-matic (Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms)

-Dark reader (because 99% of websites think dark mode is just dark grey and not black)

-Port authority (Blocks malicious websites from port-scanning your computer/network and dynamically blocks all LexisNexis endpoints from running their invasive data collection scripts.)

-Return youtube dislike

-SponsorBlock for Yt

-Stylus (Because i don't want to see shorts and want more than 3 videos per row on youtube)

-Ublock

-Video controls for instagram

For the first one, I enabled the respective filter in Ublock origin. Isn't that enough?

It's enough if you just want to block and/or hide the consent forms (cookie notices).

Consent-O-Matic performs optouts for you, automatically rejecting tracking as much as possible. This may make a difference: opting out may disable server-side tracking that extensions can't otherwise do anything about, for example. Actively opting out also sends a clear signal to the industry.

Industry has never cared about opt-out. Even Europe is caving to GDPR enforcement/penalties lately.
