Switch from Brave to Firefox (self.firefox)

Decided I'm going to make the switch today. What I like about Brave is the out-of-the-box tracker and add blockers. Is an extension like Ghostery good enough with Firefox to get similar results or are there better ways to approach this?

Thanks!

Ublock origin is the gold standard of ad blockers everywhere, it shoukd have similar effect as brave blocker by default. Many browsers even install it by default.

You can also tweak block list. For example, I dont block ads, but I block annoyance and trackers. There are also several region/language specific block list you can enable.
