   NoScript Security Suite: blocks content loaded from other domains

   uBlock Origin: blocks ads

   Privacy Badger: detects and fights attempts are cross-site user tracking

   TrackMeNot: sends garbage data to various search engines known to track users to mask your real searches

   HTTPS Everywhere: uses SSL/TLS by default with sites known to support it

   Decentraleyes: it replaces Google tracker-laden scripts with compatible, trackerless local versions

   CanvasBlocker: alters JavaScript when attempts at fingerprinting your browser are detected

   Privacy Settings: allows access to various privacy settings without needing to dive into about:config

   P.S. Instead of NoScript, you may wish to use uMatrix. The two are functionally similar, but some users prefer the interface of uMatrix and also the fact that uMatrix allows you to allow and disallow content of different types from different domains, exclusively on the current domain.

   I replaced a recommendation to use an extension called AdNauseam with TrackMeNot because AdNauseam is not compatible with popular ad blockers. TrackMeNot is similar in sending garbage data to mask your legitimate information, but doesn’t rely on loading ad trackers to do so.

      @slightlyflightyone there is also request policy, which for people who don't like uMatrix can be combined with NoScript for a similar thing. i personally prefer uMatrix though, its so wonderful
