Ditch Adblock and ABP, and get uBlock Origin instead.

Cookie Autodelete, Ublock Origin, Decentraleyes, Don't touch my tabs!, FB Purity, First Party Isolation, google-no-tracking-url, HTTPS Everywhere, Link Cleaner, Privacy Badger, Smart Referer and of course uBlock Origin in advanced mode with all 3rd party scripts and frames blocked by default.

I know that Brave draws a bit of controversy on HN, but the fact that you just named a DOZEN plugins is the reason why I switched. That's just too much to keep up with, I need more sane defaults and built-in behavior.

Yes, I think BAT deserves a look. I'd much rather pay for good content than have my payment extracted from me subversively.

There's nothing to keep up with, really. You could very servicably get by with only uBlock Origin's default blocklists and the advanced mode with 3rd party scripts/frames on default-deny.

The rest are there because I'm slightly paranoid.

I'm concerned about fingerprinting.

Not much a way to get around that. Removing 99% of fingerprinting identification gives a stronger fingerprint than many defaults.
