> I block their Scripts, only temporarily allow if I need them, I don't keep cookies for longer than my current session except for Fastmail, I use VPN, have no DNS-Leak and WebRTC Detection turned off (last I checked you could not turn WebRTC Detection off in Chrome and the Extensions promising to do that were not working).
It's been possible to disable multiple webrtc routes since M42[1]. uBlock exposes this option as a checkbox in its main settings.
> And that's also why I use Mozilla Firefox. Not because it's the technically better browser, but I have trust in Mozilla and their API just allows capabilities Chrome isn't capable of (that's why there is no NoScript in Chrome and no, there is no NoScript-Alternative in Chrome with the same features and capabilities, look it up).
The only thing Chrome/Chromium cannot block are inline script tags[2]. Inline script tags should apparently be considered cosmetic filtering according to [2].
Other than the above exception you can pretty close to blocking everything you could in Firefox with uBlock[3]/uMatrix[4]. Unless you're referring to something else? With uMatrix you can get basically the same granularity that you can with NoScript just in a much nicer looking interface (which is available for Firefox now as well).
> Back when I used both Chrome and Firefox side by side, Firefox for example would turn off some Add-Ons/Extensions in Private Browsing Mode, while Chrome would not. I guess we all can grasp what most likely was the reason for it (Add-Ons/Extensions should not be able to obtain information from the user if in private browsing).
Chrome extensions will by default NOT be allowed in incognito mode. I don't know what you observed but you must have explicitly allowed this behavior.
