Firefox

Ad nauseum - like ublock
temporary containers - this is a must, separates cookies
foxyproxy - pattern-based proxy redirection. I use it to make .onion and .i2p sites go through specific ports

I haven't heard of adnauseum in a long time! How well does it work for you compared to uBlock Origin?

For the uninitiated it's an adblocker that loads and clicks ads securely and hidden from view. Instead of trying to block ads outright, an adnauseum user will provide so much data to the ad companies that it pollutes their datasets. When you click on every single ad that is no more helpful than when you don't click on any ads. With adnauseum the site operators and content creators get their ad revenue, too!

I don't know how to use ublock origin, so I use ad nauseum :)
