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.

    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.

            It’s a bit of a journey, but she does.

            So if money weren’t an issue, where would you most want to travel?

              Everywhere.

              I’d buy one of those incredibly expensive yachts and live aboard. Every 3 days, a different destination, a new culture to explore. Can you imagine??

              What would you do with infinite money

                I like the idea of visiting other places and exploring, but I think I’d want to spend longer in each place. For the times I’ve travelled, I enjoyed the extended stays most where I really got to get past the surface and travel to the non-touristy places.

                I honestly don’t know what I’d do with the infinite money. Definitely not having problems would be nice. First thing I’d do is probably make sure all my friends were set and comfortable for life and retirement. Then go from there.

                  Nobody is stopping you from staying more time! With that amount of money, you can do what you want.

                  This is the world we live in.

                  Caring for “all your friends” would be very dangerous. They’ll want more and more, and friends that you don’t consider friends anymore, will become friends again, all of the sudden.
