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.

    So. Since many people basically have no idea of anything, Quick explanation:

    Never use different Content Blocker Extensions together. They break eah pther in functionality, uBO Dev and a Adguard Dev made a official post about this problem on Twitter (aka. X). So, remove DDG, definitly remove Ghostery, there privacy pratices are worse, Decentralized Eyes is outdated, use it’s fork LocalCDN instead, uBlock Origin is u only necessary if you wanna use Features of it, which Brave Shields doesn’t have. uBO filters do work completly for Brave too, they both the the same syntax.
