Without Firefox and a few extensions like uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and Privacy Badger, I feel like I'm naked when browsing the web.

Also, check out Firefox Focus on Android. Pretty convenient to use as the default browser for guest browsing.

You don't actually need Decentraleyes or Privacy Badger now that Firefox has total cookie protection and that uBlock Origin supports their other features (some via lists). Arkenfox has a useful write-up on this: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions.

I only have four extensions now: uBlock Origin, I Don't Care About Cookies, one for user agent switching, and one for removing HTML elements via the context menu.

You can also add I Don't Care About Cookies list in uBlock Origin.

Oh that's great - thanks - yet another extension to disable!

Isn't this equivalent to the element zapper in uBO?[1] It's not available from the context menu but you can assign a shortcut to bring it up.[2]
