6 adblockers?! Have you looked into uBlock origins customisable block lists? You can combine at least 3 blockers with that. Additionally you could add custom block lists.
Edit: clarifications and spelling errors.
Unlock or UBlock?
UBlock Origin is the name of the extension. My autocorrect messed it up ^^
I'll look into it.
https://filterlists.com/ - list of auto-updating filters, makes it very easy to add one. Make sure to use one with a good rating.
Yeah, do it. uBlock is great in terms of performance so you will feel how much faster browsing is after uninstalling the other add-ons. You can also block known scams or websites known by pirates to be unsafe. It can also block cookie popups (but I don't care about cookies might be better at this).
I also suggest Redirector, which lets you can set up custom redirects such as
It is very powerful and can also replace multiple extensions. For example, it can percent-decode URLs, which enables me to prefix a URL with
ar[space]
in the address bar and redirect me to the archived version of that site. Just addhttps://web.aarchive.org/web/*/%s
as a bookmark with keywordar
. (This trick is useful for making custom "search engines", which would often require yet another extension.) However, this trick is not enough alone because it goes tohttps://web.aarchive.org/web/*/example.com%2Fpage
and Archive.org needs a decoded URL. So notice that I used the nonsense addressweb.aarchive.org
which Redirector will detect and correct using this rule:I don't care about cookies has been bought out by Avast, use I still don't care about cookies
Regarding cookie pop-ups, there's a little known gem: https://consentomatic.au.dk/
Problem with that is, idcac accepts the cookies, ublock blocks the banner and thus you havent given consent and no cookies should be placed. Note that some websites might collect data regardless but there's nothing much to do about it. ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/shorts/ExmplVid-ID

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Yes, you can also add a Redirector rule that redirects you to Piped.
