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.

    I do not want success for that man, therefore I’m not going to give his project market share

      Market share… Of something that can be had free? You are making less and less sense.

        Yes, because if the browser has no market share, there is no point in it continuing to exist and the company folds.

        I don’t care if it’s free or costs money, the man gets paid if the product is successful. I don’t want to support him, therefore I don’t use the product. If enough people agree with me and do the same, the product dies & the man fails. Or at the very least the rest of the company kicks him out and the man still fails.

        Like this isn’t rocket science

          This makes no sense.

          How do you expect to convince a large group to stop using a product? Just by saying “he’s bad”?

          Be honest with yourselves and admit it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling of “sticking up to the man” by doing… Nothing.

          You see you are deluding yourselves in believing you are making a change, but it’s all in your head.

            Have you never heard of a boycott?

            I’ve said why I think he’s bad, therefore I boycott him and his product. There are other people out there doing exactly the same.

            I’m not really sure how you’re struggling with this
