I love seeing all of these plugins, I use most of them for the various browsers.
What I'd love to know is what's the bare minimum of plugins I need to stop tracking (or as this page calls them, bugs).
For example, on Chrome, it seems to me that using Ghostery, Disconnect, SafeScript, AdBlock Plus and DoNotTrackMe are often overlapping in functionality. The less plugins my browser uses, the less chance of memory bloat (which I experience more as the browser ages).

- stanleydrew 14y agoI don't use any plugins installed in Chrome but get all of the same benefits (I believe). Here's how: * restrict plugins like flash to click-to-play * disable all javascript * disable all cookies Then whitelist the domains whose cookies and javascript you trust. The tools to do this are built into Chrome. It's a two- or three-click process upon visiting any site to whitelist its javascript and select which cookies to accept from a list. I have been browsing this way for about three years now and it's really quite nice once you get used to every site on the entire web being broken when you first visit.
