Don't sweat it. All you really need is Firefox + uBlock Origin. And even without uBo, Firefox blocks some trackers by default.

Privacy badger is largely useless ever since they got rid of heuristics. ClearURLs is useful, but you'd probably be fine without it. And pi-hole doesn't block anything that uBo doesn't in Firefox (but is still useful for applications outside of the browser).

On the other hand, maybe you're like me and want to squeeze as much privacy out of your browser as you can, even if it means breaking some websites. If that's the case, check this website out. Just remember that the tweaks listed here are nice, but not entirely necessary.

With uBO, I would also disable things like Third-Party Cookies. I also have No-Script, but that's mainly for making sites easier to load (Though it does block ad-tracking js-files, like uBO).


Thank you, I'll have a look!
