I thought it would be helpful for all the good people of Lemmy World if we shared our browser setups.
I'm mostly a laptop user when it comes to the Internet. I've been using Firefox with the Ublock Origin addon and it makes browsing the web so much less ad filled.
For youtube specifically I've had the best results with Chrome and an extension called Clear Skies for ad skipping.
Share you own browser setup. What do you use to surf the wild waves of the web to avoid the sharks and the sharp rocks?

Plain chromium with uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock and Return YouTube dislike.
I recommend running googerteller. Chromium, even after applying all degoogle policies, using without account, no google search etc, connect to Google every few seconds. Especially when launching the profile chooser, loading the addons, viewing some settings and your password list.
What kind of data does it leak?
Googerteller just shows connections.
Maybe there is a traffic analysis, you need to install a custom public https certificate for that and intercept using a middle server. MITM attack so to say.
