Just setup links to open in private browsing mode, and clear cookies on browser exit.
Nope, you should set up site exception. Site exceptions are much better than just leaving cookies persistent. Cookies both function as a method to track and an easy way for a hacker to steal session tokens. Always prefer the native method, reducing attack surface and providing better function with browser APIs. Read the resource wiki linked from Arkenfox user.js
Interesting, I'll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn't, so I'm not totally convinced they are fully redundant.
You can add lists in ublock..
Yes, and I do, and yet there are still some escapees. Might be a fringe case as I live in Asia, but at least for me it serves a purpose.
Find the escapees, put them on the list or find a list including them for your particular use-case.
I dont have much things getting through, mostly small sites displaying things, so i just add a filter myself.
Afaik Ghostery was bought and started tracking its users.. or was that another popular extension? Happened to alot of these.. pretty sure it was Ghostery?
Right, I'll look into that. Thanks!
