To all: Yeah, I realize that I can't have 100% privacy and still use a mainline browser, really. I know that in those, there will always be something under the hood that is tracking me. I'm just trying to find a happy medium of being able to pay my gas bill, or order groceries without broke ass websites and not giving my fingerprints and facemap away. (I'm exaggerating, but only a little...)
Have you considered running two browsers? That's what I do.
I use one for things that have to know me anyway. Bills, utilities. Banking. W/e. It's FF based. It's locked down against analytics and trackers. But not to extreme levels. Required sites still work.
The other, for looking up games on vintage board game sites. Movie/TV shows. News sites. Stuff that has no gd business knowing my ID. That browser is normally Tor. If a site blocks it, fine. It isn't essential b/c all my bills and essentials use the other one.
