Might as well use Librewolf, it's the same thing but already hardened by default.

My extensions are:

• uBlock Origin
• Privacy Badger
• CanvasBlocker (so I can disable ResistFingerprinting which breaks a lot of sites)
• Cookie AutoDelete (To keep only cookies I care about)

and a lot others that don't really matter here-

I also keep a chromium browser installed as a backup when something doesn't work properly (and for web dev testing).

You can also make exceptions for sites you wanna stay logged into, if you wanna leave that setting unchanged, which is what I do.

You just gotta click "Manage exceptions" in Privacy and Security, under "Cookies and site data." Then you copy paste the site you want and set it to "allow" and save it.

It deletes all cookies by default but you can add any site to the whitelist to keep the cookies.

Since I used to use a lot of extensions for youtube once and it ate up my RAM. Also I hear that extensions can be used to track you more easily if you're not careful.

But if you're that concerned, you should use TOR instead, as Librewolf will never be 100% private in this regards. RAM is not an issue for me as I have 32GB of it, but I see your point. Thanks for giving an alternative.
