Ain't that the truth!

Current EDC,

Mozilla Firefox with:

  • uBlock Origin
  • SponsorBlock for Youtube...

Anyone have any other recommendations or better systems?

Privacy badger is also a great tool, made by EFF themselves

Way better as Privacy Badger is Trace, but sadly disattended since several years, but in the stores and still works. Currently i use JShelter

You could level up by adding uMatrix and plug any and all leaks of data, not just the big ones like ads and cookies. But then you're a bit into control freak territory.

Clickbait remover for YouTube, Now with the new YT anti adblock policy with nasty Popups, Adblock Plus works better in YT than uBO to avoid this crap. You also can watch most YT videos sandboxed in Andisearch or on desktop with SMPlayer (Right click on the player and paste YT link in "Open > URL"). If you have an Google account, you can opt out your YT subscriptions and playlist (deselect all other in the list) and export this to Odysee (online service from IMDB), which is IMHO the best alternatve to YT (better are PeerTube and other decentralized streaming services, but not if you prefer a decent amount of videos)
