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?

    When i run Tails, yes, because it comes with an ad blocker. Otherwise i don’t use extensions usually.

    But if you run in Safest mode (without JS) the attack/fingerprinting surface from remote sites is very small so if you’re strict about no-JS policy then running extensions in Tor Browser is very fine.
