    I strongly recommended installing EFF’s Privacy Badger on your and your relatives browsers.

    This stops many trackers, and causes less side effects and less breakages than most filters (unlock et all).

      If you have uBlock Origin then Privacy Badger is redundant. Also, more extensions = easier fingerprinting.

        Privacy Badger focus on blocking trackers. uBlock origin blocks all kind of things Ads,Trackers,etc and so it have a higher risk of breaking sites.

        Yes, they’re mostly redundant. Happy uBlock Origin users should probably keep using just uBlock. People who don’t use uBlock to avoid breaking websites, or just want to block trackers, should use Privacy Badger.

      Another option if you wish to protect your whole network is to set up something like pi-hole or AdGuard. I recently set up pi-hole on our network. I’m shocked by the amount of blocked traffic coming from phones and windows machines. Don’t even get me started on the traffic from our smart tv.
