Hi Shirish,

I use request-policy continued (Another FF extension) which also does
same/similar work. Doesn't allow third-parties to track you. Will have
to check out UBlock Origin, hearing about it first time, thanx guru :)
uBlock Origin (not to be confused with uBlock whose original author
forked it into uBlock Origin) can do what Request Policy Continued does
as well if you enable the advanced mode after reading about the advanced
features -
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-user-features. But I
like doing the same with Request Policy Continued and leave just the
adblocking and tracking protection to uBlock Origin. I also use NoScript
(albeit in a passive mode) to protect against common JavaScript based
vulnerabilities.
I also access my email (both self-hosted and Gmail) mainly via
Thunderbird and in case I want to use the webmail, I use it in a
separate browser used exclusively for that purpose. I also use Firefox
in permanent private mode and block all third party cookies. And that's
my tinfoil hat for keeping my privacy.
Thanks & Regards,
Guruprasad
