10 Browser Extensions Every Privacy Lunatic Swears By

Because Google knows what you’re doing—even when you’re in Incognito.

1. uBlock Origin

The god-tier ad blocker. Blocks ads, trackers, crypto miners, and corporate bloat with extreme prejudice.

🔒 Bonus: You can write your own filter rules like a paranoid monk scripting cyber-sigils.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave

👉 https://ublockorigin.com

2. Privacy Badger

Built by EFF. Learns and blocks invisible trackers that sneak past regular ad-blockers.

🧠 It’s like a watchdog that gets angrier the more it sees you being watched.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Edge

👉 https://privacybadger.org

3. LocalCDN

Replaces external JavaScript libraries (like Google Fonts and jQuery) with local versions so pages load faster and don’t phone home.

🚫 No call-backs to the mothership.

Browser: Firefox, Chromium browsers

👉 https://www.localcdn.org/

4. ClearURLs

Strips trackers out of URLs automatically. That means no more ?fbclid= or utm_source= junk trailing behind links.

✂️ Cuts the digital leash quietly and clean.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Edge

👉 https://clearurls.xyz

5. Cookie AutoDelete

Deletes cookies the second you close a tab. Not five minutes later. Not when it feels like it. Instantly.

🍪 Perfect for digital hermits and operational security fanatics.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox

👉 https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

6. Trace

Blocks fingerprinting, user-agent snooping, canvas leaks, and more.

🧬 Stops your browser from acting like a DNA sample.

Browser: Chrome

7. Decentraleyes

Another script-localizer that mimics Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) so your browser stops asking Google for everything.

📡 Serves privacy like an off-grid ISP.

Browser: Chrome, Firefox

👉 https://decentraleyes.org

8. User-Agent Switcher

Spoofs what device, OS, and browser you’re using. Make your laptop look like a fridge from 2011.

🕶️ Essential for slipping past device-based tracking.

Browser: Firefox, Chrome

👉 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/

9. NoScript / uMatrix

The nuclear option. Block all JavaScript by default and allow only what you explicitly trust.

💣 For pros only. Breaks the internet. But also breaks surveillance.

Browser: Firefox

👉 https://noscript.net

10. LibreTube Redirect

Auto-redirects YouTube links to Invidious or Piped instances. No ads, no tracking, no algorithm rot.

📺 Consume content, not cookies.

Browser: Firefox (or via Redirector extensions on Chrome)

👉 https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect

🧠 Bonus Advice:

Use multiple browsers. Keep your “normie” activity and your ops separate.

• Brave for normie

• Librewolf or Mullvad for the dirt

• Tor for the dark
