That's the one of the first things I disable when I install a browser or create a new profile. Along with history, third party cookies, search prediction stuff, etc. Also clear all cookies and cache when I exit the browser.

Yeah I use other tools for passwords, etc and turn off a lot (though not history! that's serious business)

I also use a pihole to block ads and trackers more completely, but I do like having an additional browser-level feature with "enhanced tracking protection"[1] – if it did nothing else, I like simply having the list of attempted-tracker on every site easily available at all times.
