regardless of what other info you get back there is one more thing to consider... People like me :)
I go into the (on Mac) Library folder and locate cookie, history, cache, and other web related directories. I empty them, the lock them, i.e. the soft are can NOT write into that/those directories. This stops persistent cookies etc from functioning. Stops web sites from downloading "stuff". Once the browser has been exited, there is nothing left from previous web sessions. All of this is in addition to ad blockers, and often indirection through TOR.
