As usual in the comments, programming.dev chuds care a whole lot about performatively not caring and get enraged at the thought of other people caring, thus the advocacy for Brave Browser entirely on the basis of "melting snowflakes" the way thumbheads roll coal because they want to "trigger" people that would prefer an inhabitable environment. 
right now i am using firefox with the common privacy extensions people were talking about in this thread https://hexbear.net/post/96791?scrollToComments=false
specifically privacy badger, clearurls, ublock origin, decentraleyes, user agent switcher, and facebook container
There's also NoScript for manual control over Javascript on webpages, and CanvasBlocker, which "allows users to prevent websites from using some Javascript APIs to fingerprint them."
You can prob leave out almost everything except ublock according to recommendations from the arkenfox folks
oh thank you i didn't know that
