For me it's the combination of uBlock origin [1], uBlock Extra [2], and Decentraleyes [3].

Umatrix (same guy) + privacy badger (eff)

Have been using it since it was called HTTPS switchboard. Uorigin is my go to install on all of my customers fresh installs or people who don't want to break their web experience. Works great.

- I tried Umatrix but it was too much configuration for me. ublock provides me with a sane out of the box experience.

- I am not sure whether privacy badger and decentraleyes are mutually exclusive.

I don't think they are.

For example, you can choose to enable a Google-hosted library (say, jQuery) on a certain domain, because you want it to work, and then decentraleyes will do its part.

Those add-ons provide some privacy, but they have a different effect than Tor. As examples, despite using the above add-ons, your ISP still knows which domains you visit, as anyone else who can see the network traffic and as does your DNS provider; and the domains you visit know who you are.
