Here are some other fun browser extensions and to help you protect and learn more about your privacy online:
AdNauseam is a browser extension that fights against tracking by simulating clicks on each blocked ad, confusing trackers as to one’s real interests.
Trackmenot is a browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. The method by which it does this is pretty cool: rather than covering your tracks online, Trackmenot makes lots of fake noise to confuse and obfuscate tracking efforts.
