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.

    Yes that’s the point. I couldn’t care less about the politics involved, as long as the product is FOSS.

    You like to attach “politics” to anything, because that’s what USA television has warped your mind into.

      lol. That’s the weirdest mind-warping logic that you need to use to make that statement make sense.

      I don’t watch television in the US. However, everything being political was true when I lived in Europe for years. Many smart Europeans have written about this for centuries, but I’m guessing you haven’t read their work.

        Nice!

        You are now reverting to ad hominem, while accusing me of not making an argument.

        I guess its only normal that you feel so strongly about offending other people and making them beneath you

        Is it a inferiority complex?

          lol. I just turned your words back onto you, and that’s it. I don’t feel inferior at all, because I know who I’m chatting with now and why you don’t get it.

              Yeah, that’s definitely what’s going on here.

                    I enjoy learning languages, working on Spanish at the moment.

                    Its a bit difficult for me because I studied Portuguese in the past, so i mix the two!
