This is why I cringe when people recommend random ass addons to do random shit. Better to just literally stick to ublock origin and maybe 1 other. I really don't trust most extensions.

Ublock origin, noscript and canvas anti fingerprinting. Works great

Yea those are well known. But I see people recommending sketchy extensions for small things.
