In addition to these plugins, I also use Privacy badger:

which complements Adblock Plus and eliminates more advanced cross-site tracking mechanisms.
Another aspect of defeating surveillance is end-to-end encryption. If you would like to start encrypting your email, two good friends of mine have implemented a PGP-based encryption method that runs in your browser (there are issues with this, but they have done a good job to mitigate many of them). Check out
https://keybase.io
and let me know if you want an invite.
I am also happy to give a simple demonstration of GPG and its various plugins.
You can then send Moglen encrypted messages using his key: http://old.law.columbia.edu/moglen.key
which I am sure will delight (or annoy) him. You will fortunately have deniability with respect to either motive.
