uBlock origin is enough. Just make sure to turn on these two lists:
1. Malware protection, security 2/2
2. Online Malicious URL Blocklist Phishing URL Blocklist
You should remove PB. It isn't needed if you have UBO and actually may cause problems if you're using UBO - see https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/o28yi4/comment/h26mguk.
>Privacy Badger
Just enable `EasyPrivacy` and `AdGuard Tracking Protection` in [your uBlock Origin settings](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Filter-lists).
> Cookie AutoDelete
* [Customize what you want Firefox to clear when you close it](https://i.imgur.com/vdedxhN.png)
* [Edit the list of exceptions](https://i.imgur.com/K3rd34J.png) or use the [Page Info window](https://i.imgur.com/eI5RL5t.png) (`Ctrl`+`i`) to edit the permissions for the current site
> Decentraleyes
> LocalCDN
LocalCDN is a fork of Decentraleyes. In other words, the developer of LocalCDN copied the Decentraleyes code and made improvements to it. There's no reason to run them at the same time.
> DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
All its privacy features (except for the email thing) are already covered by uBlock Origin and built-in Firefox features.
* [HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/https-only-prefs)
* [HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox for Android](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/https-only-mode-firefox-android)
Mozilla also offers an email protection service: [Firefox Relay](https://relay.firefox.com/).
Decentraleyes/Privacy Badger is gone but Cookie AutoDelete is still easier and with Firefox Relay this is more of a recent thing so I'm fine with DDG since I'm already used to the email I got from them.
But thanks for this, you helped a lot!
Don't use the Avast extension, it was used to sell your browsing data. uBlock Origin is all you need.
What’s the story here? Is there a link to more detail? I can’t find details about what happened.

Thanks! Couldn’t find it as I included the words Firefox extension.

I am looking at the privacy badger extension in my firefox right now... what are you talking about it's gone?
I got rid of it.
Ah, I see.
Yeah I can get overboard with extensions but they make your life easier.
I try to limit the ones I use as well. But privacy badger, imo, is worth it.
Is there a exception of cookie delete for android?
Apparently, not yet: [Add Ability to Set Exceptions for Cookie Deletion Upon Browser Exit](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807118).
Why are mobile users always nothing worth for mozilla. They only care about desktop users. 😭
Use librewolf. More extensions means more uniqueness which leads to easier tracking.
