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.
Oh, I used canvasblocker for a lot of years, it’s great. But I disabled it because from arkenfox it is not recommended together with privacy.resistfingerprinting.
how does your solution fare vs the coveryourtracks link?
I guess reasonably well? It’s hard to assess, but anyway I also use user.js from arkenfox which includes many other changes; they also have this service to detect fingerprints that I suspect you are interested in, it has the particularity to detect tampering.
