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.

    Yeah, that’s definitely what’s going on here.

          I enjoy learning languages, working on Spanish at the moment.

          Its a bit difficult for me because I studied Portuguese in the past, so i mix the two!

            That’s awesome! Are you learning for some travel or just to learn?

              I’d say both?

              Traveling is expensive, and could you belive I’ve never been to Portugal? Was supposed to go there in 2020,but then it just fizzled away…

                Nice! I’ve never been there either but had a friend who lived there for a few years. Well, maybe you’ll get to visit soon and use your Portuguese.

                  The airplane ticket costs quite a lot, I think almost as much as going to the other side of the world.

                  Besides, it would make my Spanish learning even worse!

                  What’s the last book you’ve read? 😊

                    Oh wow, that’s expensive. Is it always that expensive or just because of the time of year?

                    The most recent fiction book I read was pattern recognition which was fun.
