What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

Bitwarden+ublock+libredirect

I see a lot of people using decentraleyes, no script, privacy badger, etc along ublock. Just wanna point out that these with ublock are generally redundant and actually increase your fingerprint.

Yeah I dropped most of them and only use NoScript and uBlock Origin now.

You're right, preventing tracking and canvas fingerprinting ironically is in itself a fairly unique fingerprint. Although I'm not sure if not using decentraleyes is worth the tradeoff. It prevents hitting more third party sources altogether at the marginal cost of making you slightly more unique to the first party. Happy to learn more if I misunderstood.
