Another tip you can use to reduce the amount of information that websites obtain about you is to install extensions that block this activity. That will practically close the possibility that websites can track you or run unwanted scripts on your computer.
Some of the most recommended extensions for this purpose are the following:
User-Agent Switcher and Manager
“spoof your browser “user-agent” string to a custom designation.”
No Script
“Allows JavaScript, Java, Flash, and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice”
Privacy Badger
“Stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web”
Ublock Origin
“Filters requests to display adverts and prevents your browser from retrieving and displaying marketing content.”
Cookie AutoDelete
“Automatically delete unwanted cookies from your closed tabs while keeping the ones you want.”
