Try Self-destructing Cookies, BetterPrivacy, Decentraleyes, Google Search Link Fix, Random Agent Spoofer, and RefControl.
Chrome gives far less control over privacy. (Consider the business motivations of Mozilla vs. Google.)
You can also add a file called user.js to your Firefox profile folder with these settings to make it better:

Anything in about:config can be overridden in user.js.
You can use multiple Firefox profiles to launch separate browser profiles, each with different extensions. (I have an alias for that: `alias ff="firefox -P"`)
Ctrl-shift-p is a fast way to enter private browsing mode, which, by default, will keep your privacy extensions enabled. (You can ctrl-shift-n in Chromium/Chrome if you need to turn off all extensions for a quick look at something.)
Firefox for Android is also the only mobile browser that allows add-ons, so you can get your privacy tools and customizations there too.
Also check out the Firefox developer console. Go into settings and check the boxes until it's how you want it.

You can keep extensions enabled in Chrome as well when using incognito. You just have to explicitly enable it on the extensions menu for which extensions you want to keep enabled.
- JoshMnem 10y agoI generally don't do that, because I want one way to open a browser that has no extensions. So I can go to Chrome (alt-6 to get to that virtual desktop) and then ctrl-shift-n to get a plain browser. Firefox keeps the extensions on by default, so if I need to login to one site with different accounts, I can use ctrl-shift-p for a private window, or `$ firefox -P` for a different browser profile.
