    Need privacy extensions combo advice.


    I would like some advice on my privacy extensions combo and how it could be changed or improved. I'm aware that when using many different extensions you run the risk of making your privacy/security worse...

    I'm starting to get a good a understanding of how the extensions I'm using work and a couple that I'm yet to try are Scriptsafe and Privacy badger. Actually I've briefly tried Scriptsafe but I don't really understand how it works and it's one that requires a lot of page reloading that I find to be a hassle...

    My current combo and understanding is:

    Ublock Origin - blocks ads...
    Disconnect - blocks tracking...
    CryptoPrevent - Blocks ransomwares...
    HTTPS Everywhere - still trying to get an understanding on this one...

    I'm slowly reading through Privacy Tools | Encryption against global mass surveillance

    Running the panopticlick browser test (Panopticlick) I do not pass "Does your browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor Do Not Track?" and "Does your browser protect from fingerprinting?"

    How do you guys tackle those ones?

    So what do you think are there any more extensions I should look at to further bolster my protection?

    :)

    Antivirus Use in Windows 10

    I understand I can simply go with I.E. while using Norton as my final resort.

    I'm thinking with the Edge/ Defender combo and the Edge/ Norton combo I will be protected to web surf and have virus protection all that I need, and then the I.E./ Norton combo will have extra via the extensions, such as Identity safe, etc.
