So as the title mentions, I’m wondering how much is too much?

I am currently using Brave with the setting to:

  • Aggressively block trackers & ads
  • Only connect with HTTPS
  • Block fingerprinting
  • Block cross-site cookies

In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Ghostery
  • Decentraleyes
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials

So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.

      It’s a bit of a journey, but she does.

      So if money weren’t an issue, where would you most want to travel?

        Everywhere.

        I’d buy one of those incredibly expensive yachts and live aboard. Every 3 days, a different destination, a new culture to explore. Can you imagine??

        What would you do with infinite money

          I like the idea of visiting other places and exploring, but I think I’d want to spend longer in each place. For the times I’ve travelled, I enjoyed the extended stays most where I really got to get past the surface and travel to the non-touristy places.

          I honestly don’t know what I’d do with the infinite money. Definitely not having problems would be nice. First thing I’d do is probably make sure all my friends were set and comfortable for life and retirement. Then go from there.

            Nobody is stopping you from staying more time! With that amount of money, you can do what you want.

            This is the world we live in.

            Caring for “all your friends” would be very dangerous. They’ll want more and more, and friends that you don’t consider friends anymore, will become friends again, all of the sudden.

                  Eh, only 2 sorta well. I’ve tried learning a bit more, but without being immersed regularly I lose them relatively fast. I can still read a bit of some of them, and hear things in movies or tv shows that I understand.

                  How about you? You have to have a couple you can at least get around with?

                    And what languages would those be? Try to keep them fresh with YouTube videos of something that interests you (in the target language).

                    I can speak ENG, SPA, POR, and ITA 😊 In the past I’ve studied CHI and removed, but I remember so little and they are so difficult that I doubt I even have a A1 level 😐
