Here's what you don't need:

• Decentraleyes, LocalCDN
  • Third parties are already isolated in BetterFox using dFPI.
  • Decentraleyes is practically abandonware with little to no impact and outdated resources.
• Privacy Badger
  • Easily detected.
  • Additional blocking via hueristics is redundant when using Ghostery/uBlock Origin and Firefox's Total Cookie Protection.
• Disconnect
  • Firefox's ETP uses the Disconnect lists. We enforce these.
  • List of trackers is limited.
