Add-ons for Firefox
After reading this and this, I'm trying to set up ghacks-user.js, it has some add-ons by default, which add-ons do I need for safe browsing?
Is just uBlock Origin enough? Do I need also HTTPSEverywhere, Privacy Badger, PureURL, NoScript, DecentralEyes, uMatrix, Neat URL? What's your recommendations? |

Anyway probably the most private way is to disable Javascript or Javascript. That way Panopticlick test and any other client-side tracker wouldn't even run.

I also think that when it comes to privacy it is impossible to achieve 100% effectiveness and really hard to achieve 95% effectiveness, but defeating 80% of tracking is good enough for me. I also think that Pareto principle fits here. 80% or more of tracking is done by 20% or less resources. Just disabling 100 most popular tracking scripts will make a significant difference how much data is being collected about you.

Frankly I think opinion is unbalanced: he downplays security risks and overstates privacy risks. I don't think that precise, fine-grained CSS-based tracking is present on most websites you visit. But 90% of them probably have Google Analytics and other popular scripts to track people. I think it is easier to have bad luck and be targeted by exploit than have significant part of your web traffic tracked by CSS or HSTS.
