After reading through this whole thread, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Hmm, interesting tool! With just Brave blocking I get 96%, but turning on uBO, I get 100%.

So you don't use any extensions then?

Is PrivacyBadger not made redundant by uBlock or any of the other extensions?

Noted! I have been looking into Librewolf... Why is Ghostery not useful?

How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much? (lemm.ee)
 

So as the title mentions, I'm wondering how much is too much?

I am currently using Brave with the setting to:

  • Aggressively block trackers & ads
  • Only connect with HTTPS
  • Block fingerprinting
  • Block cross-site cookies

In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Ghostery
  • Decentraleyes
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.

I, too, have more Steam games than dollar bills.
