I'm currently using uBlock and the User-Agent Switcher, and they both serve their purpose very well Indeed.

I'll check out the rest this evening.
Thanks In advance.

Very nice thank you for sharing.

It may also be a good idea to add LocalCDN and enhanced-h264ify.

LocalCDN is a privacy extension that emulates Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) like AngularJS and googleapis to prevent any unnecessary web requests, improving privacy.

enhanced-h264ify allows you to enable or disable video codecs used for video streaming. So instead of using h254 for Youtube, you can use the much improved VP9 codec.

LocalCDN is unnecessary if you're already using uBlock Origin. Same can be said of Peerblock, Decentraleyes, etc. They all don't need to be used when uBlock is so extensive.

I don't like browser extentions, they pump the shit out of your cpu, I just use adblocker and that's enough

That's precisely what I use for my day-to-day navigation.

I've never been a fan of extensions.

Thanks for the reply, I'll add them to the list.

What CPU do you have? For me, Chrome uses 2-3% CPU. My plugins don't slow Chrome or Windows down.

uBlock Origin and Dark Reader have been on my browsers for a long time. Gotta check the other ones as well.
