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.

Brave is owned by a for-profit company that makes money from its users.Isn’t this true for most browsers? The fact that you speak of ‘market share’ implies profit for somebody at some point. In most cases Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla or somebody. Good for you for deciding who you want to support, but you make it sound like there is something wrong with it being owned by some corp…when the same is true for everything elseAh sorry, that’s not what I intended that part to mean, I wasn’t saying brave was particularly unique in that fashion, just that it has a company that develops it, which makes money from its market share.
Trying to explain to the other person how a boycott is still a thing for products that are free.
