I follow many of the practices you list, and then some. I wish there was an easy way to people - especially lay users - to "subscribe" to a privacy-enabled version of Firefox. For instance they could be offered pre-selected choices: 1. Block analytics [x] 2. Destroy cookies after session [x] 3. Block scripts [x] 4. Prevent search results tracking [x]

I say this because few non-tech users know or care about the entire gamut of tracking-blocking services (beyond,say, AdBlock). But if they were presented with an option like this:

Do you want to install Firefox "clean" -or- Do you want to install Firefox "Shields Up"



Privacy Badger is an attempt at a single extension with default configuration. (It may even be possible to bundle with the browser.)
