I would suggest Privacy Badger nowadays (as a complement to the irreplaceable uBlock origin).
Does Privacy Badger do something that uBlock Origin does not?
Not really. uBo devs recommend having only one blocker in place to reduce chances of issues/breakage occurring.

#53-Use a private cloud, so that your data is in your control. We've actually developed a self-hosted private cloud solution as a substitute to Dropbox for exactly these reasons. Basically a private Dropbox at home (no complicated installation and no server needed) We're currently in beta, could interest a few in this thread! https://www.duple.io/en/ The point is to have a product that works just like a Dropbox, as simp…
Somehow I don't understand how you say Syncthing's disadvantage in comparison is that it's a P2P system[1], but at the same time your website says duple doesn't need a server. Maybe I've misunderstood, but this sounds just like Syncthing with an always-on client - except for the file versioning, that sounds like an interesting feature to me.

Syncthing does file versioning, although a bit noobishly. It just keeps n copies of the old file in a hidden folder with DATE_MODIFED appended to each copy.

#55> If you’re in that category, Ms. Winterton recommended Ghostery, a free plug-in for most web browsers that “blocks the trackers and lists them by category,” she wrote. I’m not sure I can recommend Ghostery, as their business model is a bit suspicious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism > Using websites whose addresses begin with https are also safe; they, too, encrypt their data before it’s sent to you…

Oh companies have become smarter about it! Even the scammers I suspect! Many won’t accept + in the email address and I think now it’s well known enough that most scammers will run a regex to detect and remove the + sign. Useful workaround is to have unique aliases on a domain name you control. Can’t get around that with a minute of work!
fastmail supports a variation of this: if my email is me@mydomain.com, then I can use service+me@mydomain.com, or better service@me.mydomain.com (or anything@me.mydomain.com). It seems like it'd be a little less obvious to scammers.
I use @mydomain.com. My password manager remembers which I used.
