How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much? - eviltoast

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 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!

        I’d say both?

        Traveling is expensive, and could you belive I’ve never been to Portugal? Was supposed to go there in 2020,but then it just fizzled away…

          Nice! I’ve never been there either but had a friend who lived there for a few years. Well, maybe you’ll get to visit soon and use your Portuguese.

            The airplane ticket costs quite a lot, I think almost as much as going to the other side of the world.

            Besides, it would make my Spanish learning even worse!

            What’s the last book you’ve read? 😊

              Oh wow, that’s expensive. Is it always that expensive or just because of the time of year?

              The most recent fiction book I read was pattern recognition which was fun.

                  That really sucks that it’s so expensive.

                  It’s a scifi story about a girl who gets hired to track down who has been posting video clips online. The book’s like 20 years old now, but was his first one set in the present instead of being in the not-so-distant future. It’s a fun read.
