You just need uBlock. The other add-ons are redundant.
uBlock origin + NoScript. Imo.
But uBlock also has javascript blocking functionality, so I'm not sure NoScript is needed
NoScript also prevents clickjacking, redirection attack (if I remember correctly, also I'm not sure that it's the correct term), and few more things that I can't remember right now... From what I've heard one can replace them both with uMatrix, haven't tried it though.
uMatrix is abandoned
I'm surprised no one has forked it yet, or at least none that I know of
I had no idea, thanks.
Pretty sure uMatrix is integrated into uBlock now (at least 90% of the functionality is)
It blocks JavaScript altogether. NoScript is more fine tuned to allow the minimal amount of js to function.
Yes for the browser i agree, sadly apps have trackers and ads too. A dns can be useful if it's system wide for all that stuff. Nextdns, adguard, rethinkdns or decloudus comes to mind
