I essentially have only been using ublock origin for years as the only extension I bother with, but recently I’ve felt I should be doing more, so had a look at things like privacy badger and ghostery… but I know firefox has tracking protection on by default, so do those extensions even do anything?
What extensions do use to avoid overlapping functionality?
uBlock Origin for ad blocking
Multi-Account Containers, Temporary Containers, and Containerise for isolating sites from one another
Decentraleyes for limiting CDN requests
Containers are the best.
I would say it is an unknown killler feature on FF.
Considering that more extensions means easier fingerprinting, I try to go with as few as I can to make tracking as hard as possible. So I only use ublock origin and bitwarden.
Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, & Decentraleyes are the main ones for me.
Same for me. I also have ClearURLs, Facebook container, and use Multi-account containers to isolate specific sites.
I’d forgotten about account containers, but yes, that’s another indispensable one.

ublock and privacy badger.
I read that privacy badger is redundant when using Ublock Origin. Are there trackers that Origin misses?
I’ve gotten alerts from badger that uBlock didn’t catch before. It’s more just like an extra safety net.
ublock origin, localcdn.
BitWarden, AdGuard and Night Reader only
ublock origin: for ads and 3rd party blocking (noscript no longer needed)
multi container: to isolate some sites like google has it’s own container for gmail stuff
I’ve got uBlock origin, Privacy Redirect (to push Twitter URLs to Nitter), and Cookie Autodelete.
And how to block firefox itself? Here’s a scan of Trackers built into firefox for android v117.0b4:
6 Trackers = 1759 Classes
598 tested signatures on 23567 classes (13725683)
