Ask HN: What is the single best addon for privacy?
I want to encourage the visitors of my sites to install an addon to protect their privacy.
What is the single best one?

It's difficult to pick a single one.
uBlock Origin[0] is probably the one with biggest impact. I assume most of the HN folks know it, but It's a general purpose blocker that can block network requests and DOM content with support for AdBlock plus rules and host files. FilterLists[1] is a nice resource to find lists you can subscribe to.
I also like Privacy Settings[2] a lot. It's a GUI for changing all the built in features Firefox already has, allowing you to quickly switch options on and off as you like.

Yes, I was thinking about uBlock origin, but would an "average" user be comfortable with it? That's the problem.
You may find something you like here:

Do you think it would better to link to that site? Instead of suggesting an addon my self?
