Disconnect is a good one as well as ublock origin 

 

This i recommend to everyone, the rest are extensions that are more specific to your use.

 

I have a bunch but I only use them when needed - so they are hard to generally recommend.

Ublock and a password manager extension.

Check out disconnect too they work well together to block all ads and tracking.

Nobody here uses NoScript?

breaks things more than it helps on most websites IMO

 

I use the following on my browser

  • uBlock Origin (Neowin whitelisted of course)
  • HTTPS Everywhere (when not using Brave as it's built in on Brave)
  • FireShot
  • Session Buddy
  • Improve YouTube - used to stop auto play and a few other useful tweaks - https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension
  • FrankerFaceZ - in which I also have the 7TV and BTTV emote plugins

Do people use uBlock Origin instead of AdGuard?

I thought the latter was supposed to be pretty good.

I've used both and currently use AdGuard.  Not sure if one is better than the other, but for some reason settled on AdGuard recently.

 

I also use a "Remove Cookie Banners" extension so that I don't need to press "accept" on every webpage.

Yes. Absolutely. I only use Ublock Origin for years and I see no reason to switch.

 

Try it. It is likely the best extension you ever used.

I did.
But then switched to AdGuard 😛 
Maybe time for a switch back and see.
I'll highly likely not notice the difference.

    • The level of stupidity at Google and Microsoft is beyond belief. All they are doing by killing this is forcing people to jump over to Firefox and ditch them all together, therefore giving Firefox the market boost it needs to finally crush them all in the end.
