Ultimately, if you **really** want to increase significantly control over your privacy, [HTTP Switchboard](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard#http-switchboard-for-chromium) is the way to go.
|

If web page breakage annoys you, just start using HTTP Switchboard in [allow-all/block-exceptionally mode](https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-HTTP-Switchboard:-Two-opposing-views#the-allow-allblock-exceptionally-approach),

### Methodology

All blockers were configured in such a way as to compare apples-vs-apples:
|
||||
|
||||
- **uBlock:** out-of-the-box settings -- no change.
|
||||
- **uBO:** out-of-the-box settings -- no change.
|
||||
- **Adblock Plus:** out-of-the-box settings + _"EasyPrivacy"_, _"Malware Domains"_ checked. _"Acceptable ads"_ unchecked. _"Update now"_ clicked.
|
||||
- **Ghostery:** out-of-the-box settings + _"Advertising"_, _"Analytics"_, _"Beacons"_, _"Privacy"_ checked. _"Widgets"_ not checked. _"GhostRank"_ not checked. _"Update now"_ clicked (and ensured whatever new filters were used).
|
||||
- **Adguard:** out-of-the-box settings + _"Spyware and tracking"_, _"Phishing and malware protection"_ checked. _"Social media"_ not checked. _"Acceptable ads"_ unchecked. _"Check for filter updates"_ clicked.
