I like to use Tor for everything except streaming videos. But I have it setup with a few add-ons to make it a more pleasant browsing experience. I know it increases fingerprintability, so I wanted to know in case you use Tor browser on a regular basis, do you use any extensions? Do you feel the trade-off in privacy is worth it?

Using extensions is usually detectable by websites, which means that it puts you in a different “anonymity set” than people using an unmodified default tor browser.
I use ublock origin, because it’s great and also because (last time i checked, at least…) it is installed in tor browser in Tails. So, hopefully tor browser with ublock origin is still a pretty decent-sized set of people.
