Looking at the comments, interest in privacy and adblocking seem high. But the actual addons suggested here are often redundant or even worse, make you easier to track. Instead, take a look at the Arkenfox wiki, which is more or less the gold standard for browser privacy. Both LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser, practically the most privacy/anonymity oriented browsers out there, right behind Tor, either rely on it or stick very closely to it.
I highly recommend reading the entire wiki from the start. You dont have to do everything it says, obviously, but even if you dont do anything it will give you a better understanding of browser privacy. And lastly, do not use Chrome or any chromium based browser if you care about privacy and a free and open internet. Even if you only use a chromium based browser, you help increase googles monopoly.

redundant with umatrix, i’d just use umatrix

And umatrix was developed by Gorhill, who also develops ublock origin, and umatrix is no longer maintained because ublock origin is simply more useful.
