Daily: Firefox with probably too many blockers, tampermonkey, umatrix, Stylus. I aggressively block any and every element on sites I visit regularly. You get no stats from me.
Also daily: Firefox Developer Ed for frequently visited sites where I need to login and every site is in a container tab.
Brave - my daily puzzle fix for Wordle, Wordiply, Travle, Tradle (no logins, clears data on exit).
Edge, in Private mode, if and only if I cannot get a site to otherwise work.
Also nextdns.io to block as much as I can including all Google, all facebook, all Automattic properties and more.
While I'm sure some data is being collected I am very happy with how my internet looks.
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.
Doesn't many of those extensions due the exact same thing? Like why have Ghostery, DDG Privacy Essentials, Privacy Badger and to some extend uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes (maybe uMatrix as well), either one would do.
heads up, I think Decentraleyes has been superseded by a "LocalCDN", it's more frequently updated and I thing Decentraleyes has bee abandoned by the devs.
I have to temp-trust some elements in NoScript, then look in uMatris for the specific items I'll set to green. That probably sounds like a hassle and I get that. But I've been doing it for so long it's the norm.
If I need to unblock trackers in NS, I close the tab and go on my way.
And every once in a while I'll factory reset both NS and uM.
This probably sounds very tinfoil territory but as I've said I'm happy with my internet experience.
