#2 Ranked Best Google Chrome Privacy Extension | Privacy Badger
Lots of Extensions promise to block ads and tracking cookies. However, we all know some of those cookies and trackers get through.
Privacy Badger states that this extension is like an AI in that it will learn how invisible trackers attack and then adjust overtime to block them. That is one heck of a privacy extension worth your consideration.
The fact that Privacy Badger has been made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EFF, gives it all the credibility I need to offer it as a recommendation.
#3 Ranked Best Google Chrome Privacy Extension | Disconnect
Disconnect. Secure your identity, keep your information safe, and Disconnect says it even speeds up your browser. Less tracking cookies downloading and loading makes sense to speed up your browser. We do trust this plugin as we have followed them since their launch. This development team has worked in Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. They know how your PC is tracked and how to avoid it and the accompanying cookies. No setup after installation is necessary making it an easy tool to use.

Ghostery block trackers on websites, blocks trackers from receiving your data and Enhanced Anti Tracking anonymizes your data to ensure your privacy.
