I do not study in detail if this combination is necessary, but:

  • Firefox (of course)
  • Ghostery
  • Ublock Origin
  • Privacy Badger
  • Decentraleyes
  • Disconnect

All of them except uBlock Origin are in Arkenfox "Do not bother" extension list: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother

Ghostery, Privacy Badger and Disconnect do nothing worthwhile that uBlock Origin doesn't already do.

privacyguides.org seems quite solid for recommendations

For others, I set up uBlock at minimum.

For myself uBlock + uMatrix.

If on a computer need more security uBlock + uMatrix + NoScript.

uBlock and uMatrix can block scripts, but I find NoScript's fine grain control to be user friendly. Makes it a pain to browse the web though, until you setup each of your normal sites.
