I don't think that it captures everything, but according to the Arkenfox project, any additional benefit ClearURLs could have compared to this setup is minimal, and thus, it probably isn't worth to install another extension.

Got it. Yea I've looked at the arkenfox project before. In my opinion it seems like overkill for that extra like 2% of privacy lol. I feel like a reasonably hardened Firefox with ublock origin will get you 98% of the way there. And anything else is just trying to get that last little bit of privacy.
