Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.

Check Arkenfox for Firefox config and extension recommendations.

Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.

Why drop privacy badger? It’s been working well for me.

Because it doesn’t bring anything more than Firefox in strict mode and uBlock Origin.

Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?

Yeah, use an email relay service like Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, the one from Proton if you have an account with them (that’s SimpleLogin behind)…

You can create email aliases, that will relay the email to your main address. Create a new alias for each website so they can’t use your email address to correlate your identity and you can close it anytime, you can even configure an alias to only allow a set amount of messages and auto-close afterward.

Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D

Don’t give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it’s very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.

No shit Sherlock. The real cause of spammers getting your email is through data breaches. The only thing you can do about that is not use your personal mail address for every single website you create an account for.

Thanks for the list. Now I can ditch Decentraleyes and LocalCDN among others.

It looks like bypass paywalls clean was actually taken down recently. Apparently mozzila recieved a copyright claim and it was taken down as a normal part of that process :/

I don’t see its usefulness, uBlock Origin’s “Cookie Notices” list does the same thing.

For consent forms consent-o-matic is better, IDCAC / ISDCAC was not created for this.

doesn’t consent o matic just accept cookies when it doesn’t know how to reject them?
