I have:

Privacy badger

Ublock

Cookie autodelete

HTTPS everywhere

Decentraleyes

DuckDuckGo (extension) (it auto sets DDG as the browser search engine, but you can disable that)

Multi account containers - 1 for every frequently visited site. There’s an extension called temporary containers that’s interesting too

I don’t but should use noscript

Canvas blocker would freeze my browser so I don’t use it.

NextDNS is installed on every device and the router.

For mobile (ios) I use safari with Firefox focus set as the content blocker.

I hope it's uBlock "Origin" and not just "uBlock".

"uBlock Origin" is the original and real deal. The other one is a scam.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock (mentioned multiple times in these threads)

It is indeed ublock origin. Should have specified

Decentraleyes is not actively developed, use LocalCDN which is a maintained fork of it.

Really? They just bumped the version 6 months ago, and the repo shows changes in the last couple of weeks:

https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes

Is there an official announcement somewhere? The website doesn't indicate anything.

I don’t think that is true. See the other sibling comment. Also LocalCDN, whilst it has some nice extras, isn’t a recommended extension - decentraleyes is.
