Ublock origin AND Ghostery = better protection or better to avoid them both together ?
Why?
-
ublock Origin + Ghostery on firefox addon on android and Mac Os = good combo or to avoid and why ?
Even if you turn on Privacy Badger's heuristics, it is not better than uBlock Origin or Ghostery. You literally don't need Privacy Badger in 2021.

Google accused of tracking users in 'Incognito' mode, lawsuit pending
This is the one I use, with some modifications since I'm willing to break some websites. The initial config shouldn't break anything, though. (https://github.com/yokoffing/Better-Fox).

Auto-hide almost everything
Yes, sir. That would be me. :)
-
Privacy add ons
No, they were not acquired by an ad company. Ghostery is open-source and managed by a small handful of devs who really care about privacy.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
