Yes, but what's the overlap with uBlock Origin of privacy.trackingprotection? It's very unclear to me. After some experiments and log inspections when it was released I concluded uBlock was a superset. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Asked myself the same question, did the same experiment, and reached the same conclusion :) . Another unclear thing is the update rate/policy of privacy.trackingprotection's blacklist.

  Good to hear :) What's your addon setup then?

    Mostly the same as emanuelmaues above, just a bit lighter: uBlock Origin, Self-Destructing Cookies. Differences: - No HTTPS Everywhere because I (think I) remember to check for HTTPS when it matters, and access those sensitive sites via bookmarks, where I ensure HTTPS is used. - No uMatrix because it's too much of a hassle, I'm okay with the 90% provided by uBlock Origin. - A common custom user agent via (firefox / about:config) `general.useragent.override` rather than Random Agent Spoofer, which pops UAs sometimes so obscure that Google freaks out and serves me a no-js version. I'd use it if it provided a choice like "Random among the last five <Firefox> versions on <any os>", currently to do this I'd have to manually exclude tons of browsers. (Off-topic) out of the privacy stuff and back into regular addons land, - dotjs to spruce up custom js in a few sites. When GitHub Enterprise say "maybe, someday" to your feature request, that means "do it yourself" ^^. - (Not an addon, but worth mentioning) userContent.css to manually uncruft/simplify sites I frequently visit. I prefer this to Stylish, it's all in a single .css file in my profile folder; simple to edit and sync across work/home. - FlashDisable to pretend I do not have flash (to ensure html5 vid is served in priority, many non-top tier video hosts still serve Flash by default) but be able to activate it quickly when needed (flash game, video with no html5 alternative). - HighlightAll because I'm so used to this feature from all text editors that I take it for granted even in a browser. - VimFx to keep my hands on the home row as much as possible. And you, anything crispy to share?

      Nice. I just use vimperator with a couple of commands to make switching around proxies simple. Or custom search keywords with multiple arguments autocompleted. Apart from that ublock origin, https everywhere and privacy badger. Nothing fancy.

        Hey, I didn't know about multiple arguments in search keywords! Are you talking about http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_parameter_keyword_searches http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_parameter_keyword_searche... ?

Why do you care about overlap? The green nasties are attacking your privacy in multiple ways, it seems sensible to have redundant layers of protection.
