What browser addons do you use?

Avoiding proprietary software requires lots of addons and tweaking of the web browser. What addons do you use? Do you use Pi-Hole and/or Privoxy? How should we unite against the threat of proprietary scripts? Should we all have the same browser extensions? Is there a One True Browser Configuration?
Currently, I'm using:
* JShelter
* GNU LibreJS
I thought about Haketilo, but it's a proxy now, and I don't know how to do those. I've also thought of setting up Pi-Hole to block Meta and Google on my network. I used to use Privacy Redirect, but Nitter stopped working, and some of the replacements required JavaScript.
I just keep it simple, Ublock Orgin and Local CDN on abrowser. If I use Ice Cat, default addons. I use a Pi Hole, it's neat so far.
I use Abrowser with Snowflake, GNU LibrejS, JShelter, Awesome RSS and uBlock Origin.
Probably too many, possibly with redundant activity (that I would like to identify). Here are the relevant ones (for freedom, privacy, etc.), in lexicographic order:
- CanvasBlocker: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/canvasblocker
- Chameleon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext
- ClearURLs: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/clearurls
- Cookie AutoDelete: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete
- Decentraleyes: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/decentraleyes
- LibRedirect: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/libredirect
- Privacy Badger: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17
- Smart Referer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/smart-referer
- Snowflake: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/torproject-snowflake
- uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin
Someone should write a redundant add-on manager add-on.

I installed all these extensions, or most of them. It seems to be working well. I really like LibRedirect. GotHub isn't so good; it's still better to just "git clone" the repo.
I recommend you visit this website https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ that work completly with free javascript, fully compatible with LibreJS and JShelter
Jshelter, uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger.
Do you manipulate the per-site settings with Jshelter, or just leave it in default mode? It's an interesting add-on, from what I can tell it does a similar job as noscript in terms of restricting js, but also has all the built-in anti-fingerprinting functions. Can it be used instead of noscript or instead of LibreJS, or does it do a completely different job, do you know?

I stick to defaults. If a site won't load with it on I have to wonder what shady stuff it's trying to do and if I really want to visit it. As far as I kow LibreJS outright blocks any non free Java where Jshelter works more on blocking fingerprinting only and will allow non free java so long as fingerprinting doesn't take place. Many sites don't work for me with LibreJS where I can't think of any that I can't use with Jshelter.
with Nospcript you cant visit sites that work with free javascript see this with nonscript and then see it just with LibreJS: https://www.softwareheritage.org/ there are so much examples of this
Only ublock origin in medium mode.
Besides, in about:config (Firefox-based-browsers):
network.cookie.cookieBehavior -> 2 Block all cookies. If I need to login somewhere, I use another browser with value 5 (Total Cookie Protection)
javascript.enabled -> false
A huge hosts file in all my devices (mobile, router and Pc)
Steven Black+GAFAM mainly.
That's all.
this would help to block things you dont want through host file: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
