as I said, have a variety of add-ons and/or plug-ins that I use with them

The more plugins you have, the more unique you become, hence a lot easier to be tracked when navigating from one website to another.

I only have two plugins Installed, that're extremely common and shared with millions of other users on the net. The objective Is to be part of the majority, not minority.

I also use a separate VPN client ANY time I am on the web doing anything. Whether that be on my phone, a tablet, or one of my computers.

Call me paranoid for using all these

Not at all.

Always be on the assumption that you're being watched.
