As mentioned by others, the recommended list of extensions in the article is a bit outdated. These days not much more than uBlock Origin is needed for a good configuration, with the addition of maybe CanvasBlocker.
True but I use some other extensions anyway. They are:
- Multi Account Containers - does exactly what it says on the tin. I load Google stuff inside a Google container for example, and banking websites all get their own container only used for that purpose.
- Auto Cookie Optout, with their config added to uBlock Origin. Basically automatically clicks "essential cookies only" everywhere it can (it helps to allow loading of these sites automatically in uBlock and uMatrix, otherwise it can't). Possibly not an issue if you're outside the EU, though.
- uMatrix so I have some level of control over what loads when I want it.
- ClearURLs - takes out tracking and unnecessary URL parameters. uMatrix tends to block and warn if you do click one and you can find the dest_url without parameters on its warning page, where ClearURLs fails.
- Decentraleyes - injects resources instead of loading them from CDNs. Quite mixed results with this but it is still on the list for the moment.
- Sideberry, basically another tree style tabs.
Nice testing sites for these extensions are basically any newspaper website or shopping website, which are all thoroughly infested with trackers and such.

But does it also object to 'legitimate' interests?
