I use Brave for a browser, combined with Ad Block to block ads and Ghostery to block trackers.

Ghostery does an outstanding job of tracker blocking. The number of trackers blocked on a web page is reported by a small number by the Ghostery logo on the address bar. For example, cnn.com has 26 trackers according to Ghostery. I’ve seen web pages where the number of trackers are 60+. Wow, that’s a lot of tracking.

Another add-on I use frequently is Reader View which takes a web page and strips out all the junk, etc. Very handy for getting around pay walls.

Folks who report estimated earnings via the IRS web site must use Firefox. After they made this change, and weren’t public about it, I had trouble accessing the site via Brave. Finally called them on the phone and was told they support only Firefox. Strange, but it’s the IRS.
