Outside of the default uBlock Origin, do you use any other extensions that offer privacy benefits? I only have one other extension installed, JShelter, and I'm wondering if this is an overkill or not.

I quite like Libredirect, it automatically redirects links from a collection of popular services to more private frontends

What does jshelter do?

~~protect the user from Java~~ Control the javascript APIs, according to the project's website

Extensions can be used to fingerprint users.

Has anyone figured out a method to fake that data similar to how browser agent can be faked?

I'm running LibreWolf unmodified on a Linux box, and this is my result using a site that checks this information.
