Between uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Possum, I'm having a hard time deciding which ones I actually need and which ones I don't. Do they actually do different things, or are they largely the same?

There is a great video from Techlore about hardening firefox, watch it and try some of the tips.

TLDR: uBlock Origin properly configured and some tweaks on firefox settings is good enough.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

bleh. more face than actual content (where text is actually better to relay these kind of information). annoying af.

The firefox sertting labels are self explanatory, no youtube video required. Anything more, there are tons of articles and discussions threads to suit your needs.
