Decided I’m going to make the switch today. What I like about Brave is the out-of-the-box tracker and add blockers. Is an extension like Ghostery good enough with Firefox to get similar results or are there better ways to approach this?
Thanks!

Will do! Looks like uBlock should be exactly what I need.
Important to note the difference between “uBlock” and “uBlock Origin”. The latter is the good one.
/pedantry 😂
Firefox offers Enhanced Tracking Protection out of the box, check settings. For adblock, I suggest uBlock Origin.
I don’t recommend Ghostery, they’ve sold data before and are pretty controversial.
Just stick to uBlock Origin. Ran entirely independent by the community, not by a for-profit company (like Ghostery for instance), plus extremely reputable and well trusted, free and open source, etc.
Perfect! Thank you, I will check them out.
Ublock origin is the gold standard of ad blockers everywhere, it shoukd have similar effect as brave blocker by default. Many browsers even install it by default.
You can also tweak block list. For example, I dont block ads, but I block annoyance and trackers. There are also several region/language specific block list you can enable.
Maybe try this?
I find that avoiding trackers is a tough thing. They will always find out about you, so I use Adnausem to click on every advert on a page while also hiding them. Messes up any kind of targeted advertising.
