Is there a way to disguise your device info while browsing the web?
I don't know about Chrome based browsers but if you are using Firefox you can try user.js from arkenfox [link] or from pyllyukko [link] (I personally recommend the first one because they have a great wiki), you just put the script to your Firefox profile directory and it will spoof your screen resolution, link referrer, user agent, etc. (Remember to manually edit the file to suit your preferences, otherwise it may delete your history and cookies!). Also you can try User-Agent Switcher and Manager [Chrome] [Firefox] it is open source and lets you change your user agent to whatever you want. You can view your browser information on this website: https://deviceinfo.me, IMO this is a great website for identifying your browser's privacy issues.

How to harden security on Brave?
I don't know how this one compares to Arkenfox, but from my limited understanding, it seems it's more/less of an out-of-the-box Arkenfox experience.

I2p browser hardening
I recommend pyllyukko's hardened user.js https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/

Is there any recent user.js you'd recommend for Firefox?
I've been using the user.js script based on https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/tree/relaxed for a few years now, but today I noticed that it hasn't been updated for quite a while.

A distro based on Ubuntu that also is good for privacy
If you're that worried about privacy you should probably change your Firefox to one of these templates.

I guess it isn't the worst thing out there
Already tried it. Pretty nice but I prefer hardening Firefox on my own (which just means copying and pasting this user.js accordingly and applying some extensions )

Remove Headers Stuck To The Top Of Websites You View? Like The menus At the top of websites that take up half the screen and dont go away when you scroll down.
To deal with sticky headers specifically, you can also subscribe to the Web Annoyances Ultralist (theSubscribe button is on the sidebar), but it might be a little too aggressive. If you have issues with it, report them directly to the list authors.

Additional filters
It seems like they do not contain at least one of the lists you mentioned (uBO Annoyances), IDK about the other 2.

I made an add-on for Firefox that lets you cleanup the Unsplash site by removing the pay walled images from their new Unsplash+ service. Hope this helps a few people out there! 😊

Windows 11 Defender says uBlock Origin has Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
Yes and now it's working fine. The custom list I was using was https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances so maybe that one got flagged.

Adguard firefox extension really slows down YouTube, Google translate and Google maps… what can I do?
I guess you can try Web Annoyances Ultralist and/or Dandelion's Annoyances. If they are too aggressive for you, you can add the parts from the list you want. It's all in the repo.
- Are there any apps, browsers maybe that will get rid of things like these?
