    Does anyone know whether they disabled "Abine suggestions" in Blur? Blur by default is configured for some trade-offs for Webpages usability, but disabling suggestions can increase privacy (but broke some Webpages functionality).

    "RequestPolicy Continued" is rubbish, not available for firefox 58+ - ublock and uMatrix its matrix can easily replace. and ghostery ist complete crap. and on noscript i wont set a penny - awful, pain in ***, extreme buggy. performance is not all, but uBlock has won from my view - in any competitions. stupid study - with out any knowledge of feedback and complaints/bug messages.

    uBlock and Ghostery are both indeed pretty good. The problem with Ghostery is its trustworthiness, it's all a bit shady. And I didn't know that Privacy Badger made use of heuristics, what exactly do they mean with that? Isn't is based on a blacklist?
