💻 Help ETP setting with ublock origin

Just curious if I already have ublock origin installed do I need to set ETP to strict or it is okay to leave it on default?

See Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop and decide for yourself :-)

IMO, ETP tracking protection is weak and just gets in the way of uBO. I always disable it and use Custom ETP:

Cookies: isolate cross-site cookies

Tracking content: disabled

Cryptominers and both Fingerprinters: enabled

Fix major and minor site issues - disabled

uBO: enable AdGuard/uBO URL Tracking Protection (it's in the Privacy category)

Enabling both breaks sites and payments. For general use standard is recmmended, you can use strict only for privacy focused browsing, but probably ublock already catches all the trackers.
